A good fellow, a great part of a great band. Wish we had exchanged more than those couple of e-mails. RIP.

After The Monks broke up in the 60s, Dave stayed in Germany, eventually becoming more or less homeless and forgetting how to speak English. He later relearned it by reading comic books. He told this story at a reading of Black Monk Time before the first Monks reunion and had the audience in tears, if I remember any of this correctly.

Here is my teeny tiny tribute to him. I like to thing that right now he is up above with Ike Turner singing "I'm Blue (The Gong Gong Song)/We Do Wie Du"

Sucks. "Nice spirit," as Groucho Marx would say.

Hm. Spelt his name wrong on the other thread. It was Havlicek. Maybe I did that on purpose.

Some reminiscing over on The Monks message board, along with two long postings about the day of the memorial service from Eddie and the tour drummer Lenard.
