Howdy! My name is Wild Man Dave. I created this page to contain my own arrangements of modern pop music, music that I like, music that I play, music that I would like to share with others.

I write a few songs, but I especially enjoy playing and arranging. I like lots of different kinds of music, but I am concentrating on the rock/jazz/blues genres. I like Steely Dan, Rickie Lee Jones, Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Duke Ellington, and many others.

I first became aware of how difficult it can be to locate sheet music for out-of-print titles when I tried to find the sheet music to Rickie Lee Jones’ eponymously titled first album. Now this is an album that, although a lot of you young hipsters would never confess to owning it today, went gold in the late seventies, & won a great big bunch of critical acclaim. If anyone can locate this sheet music, I would love to own my own copy. I have several other of her albums’ sheet music, but Rickie Lee Jones still eludes me. Is it out there? If anyone knows, e-mail me.

Meanwhile, I make do with sitting on the floor of my living room with my young boy, Tim the Enchanter, trying to find that one particular major-nine-flatted-fifth chord in the middle eight of “Company”. Tim was born in January 1998, is an avid Aquarius and has a few radical theories about tuning a 9-string guitar in minor seconds and quarter tones.

How do I create the lyric files?

First, I figure out how the song goes - chords, lyrics, “now how did that third verse start?” Then I sit at my computer and type in the lyrics. Then I type the chords into the lyrics. There’s a certain format that one must use if one wants to create PostScript files out of text files. Check the FAQ for more information.

Yes, you have to learn the jazz chords, too.


This home page was created by Wild Man Dave, who is solely responsible for 90% of its content. Geocities is responsible for the all the stuff that says Geocities. Advertisers are responsible for their own ads. You’d think that I wouldn’t have to tell people this, but the question is often raised, “Who’s responsible?” And, in a deeper sense, aren’t we all responsible?

Copyright © 1998 Wild Man Dave, except for the images, and the lyrics. The lyrics I found by listening to radio waves that were broadcast through certain frequency-modulated bandwidths. These radio waves were sending SONGS, jack; I am tellin’ you for true. After listening to pop music for more than 35 years, these songs became lodged deeply in my head. You ever get a song stuck in your head? I have no choice but to put them here.

The images of Wild Man Dave are copyright © 1998 Wild Man Dave. Other images are copyright by whoever took the pictures. Your guess is as good as mine as to who that might be, I found a bunch of ‘em on some Usenet feed. Others were sent to me by anonymous donors. Send e-mail about broken links, wrong chords, and where to nab out-of-print sheet music to The Webmaster.

Court orders, subpoenas, writs and all correspondence that begins: “Dear Mr. David” or “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN” should be sent to \dev\null.

And the best of luck to you.
