Love their music! Looked him up when in Laffayette - great to find him playing piano in a bar and willing to sing Dreamer for tips! He told me he had a column in the Independent and so I picked up a copy. Damn, the guy's as good a journalist as songwriter. I look forward to more copy (and music), Dave. - Garth Cartwright Sat, 15 Oct 2011 12:47:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22875 "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" that inspires and touches us, as you well know. Thank you for a rich story that was "Solid" and made me feel right there. I see a book in your future. - Dave Monroe Thu, 29 Sep 2011 19:15:36 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22789 That's huge! - Deacon Todd Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:21:57 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22663 Wow, you can write as well as you play!

Thank you! - Carol Warren Mon, 26 Sep 2011 07:52:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22642 Thanks so much for this, David. I'd completely forgot. I passed it on to Val--and she loved it. And please tell Bev that the Sugar Bar is NOT closed. It's hotter than ever, and now, in addition to the Thursday night Open Mic show that you went to, there's a Tuesday night blues open mic show as well--that Nick started and hosted himself almost a year ago. The Sugar Bar remains a great part of the legacy of love that Nick, with Val, of course, has left behind for all of us, along with his catalog of classic songs. - Jim Bessman Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:58:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22636 I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT STORY, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - JOHN DOUGLAS SHIELL Sun, 25 Sep 2011 15:18:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22632 Great piece. Thanks for sharing. - Susi Sandifer McKinnon Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:33:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22599 Most interesting story, a few chapters from the life of a very talented & gifted person. - Jan Coleman Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:37:06 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22577 Enjoyed the story immensely! Takes me back to those good ole days! - David Stinson Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:18:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22574 All I can said David is that I wish you weren't solo that night in Shreveport. It would have been amazing to have been there with you. Hope to see you soon somewere tickling those ivories. - Brad Holley Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:55:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22572 Wonderful story! Sadly, when in New York City earlier this month, I went to find the Sugar Bar, and it is now closed. I'm sure Nick Ashford, in what he surely knew were his last months of life, savored David's live rendition of his experience as a young, ardent musician. - Bev Houston Fri, 23 Sep 2011 10:34:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/a-a-e/arts-a-entertainment-stories/9060-clef-notes-ashford-a-simpson-and-the-80-cents#comment-22560 Great story!
