David Budin left Cleveland for New York City at age 18, in 1968. He joined a rock band that later evolved into Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: opened shows for Tim Buckley, the Lovin’ Spoonful, Linda Ronstadt, Canned Heat and more; jammed onstage with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Buddy Miles, and others; and signed as a solo artist, songwriter, arranger and producer with Sire Records.

Denise Johnson left Columbus, Ohio, for New York City at age 18, in 1969. Her folk duo, Mimi & Me – in which she was a singer and the songwriter and guitarist – signed with Sire Records. David Budin was assigned to produce them. But before they recorded, he and Denise started a folk duo of their own, David & Denise.

After being offered a recording contract by Sire Records, David & Denise played a few gigs around New York and then moved to Columbus to work on writing and arranging, and performing, their new material. They played in the Columbus area for about a year and decided to go their separate ways – Budin to Cleveland and Johnson to Oregon.

Now, after many years and many more musical adventures, David & Denise are reuniting for three concerts – their first since 1971. The three Ohio shows – in Athens on August 4, Columbus on August 6 and Cleveland on August 8 – will be, Budin says, “like the last concert we never had.”

David & Denise will perform a few of their old songs, but mostly the best songs by the best songwriters of the past 40 years, though songs that are not well known. They will be backed up by three highly talented musicians: Charlie Lewis and Celia Hollander Lewis – and Athens, Ohio-based, couple who have been performing individually and as a duo for more than 20 years – and well known Cleveland musician Kevin Richards, founder of both the Fairmount School of Music and the Roots of American Music educational organization.

We could use a computer for the gallery, and a small refrigerator (especially to chill that opening reception white wine !)

We are looking for a PC with
2.4 gigahertz or higher processor clock speed
256 megabytes of RAM or more
40 gigabytes hard disk or more
possibly a CD-ROM or DVD drive
Keyboard and Mouse
Operating system Windows XP Home or Professional

If you have either to donate, please contact us at (216) 317-3344 or heightsarts@sbcglobal.net
(Do not worry about reformatting the hard disk or filling the refrigerator with wine,
HeightsArts will do it)
