Dave Mandel

Biography

Born in New York City, grew up in California, spent special years in Canada, have seen great things and sad.

We never cease to be what we have ve been, as we become more -- or less. I am a professional musician/recording artist, city planner, landscape architect, college teacher, contractor, writer, ditch-digger, truck-driver, cook, and bum. The last is the hardest to do well: as society conditions us from infancy to be increasingly productive, we find guilt-free relaxation only with increasing difficulty.

"Snapshots" is the wrong word. It suggests pictures taken in a hurry and without much attention to details, YOU know, where the devil lives. But life does give us vignettes: brief flashes of what it's all about, SHORT SHORTS. What makes us tick, what makes us stick, what we fear and memories dear.
