DOCTOR DAVE SIMENSON!!!

Dave "Don't Quit Your Day Job" Simenson is the keyboardist and steel guitarist for the group. Everyone else picks their best instrument, and he plays whatever is left over: piano, organ, steel guitar, mandolin, strings, harmonica,... he doesn't have a pickup on his dulcimer yet, or you'd see that on the stage! A Jack of all Trades, but a Master of None, Dave loves the variety of playing many instruments, and conspires with Willie to infuse a little jazz theory into the mix when no one is watching.Dave is also a member of "Willie and the Poor Boys".
