"Fuzzy"
....is David Fore;
the legendary
Texas drummer and songwriter. He grew up in the coastal town of Corpus
Christi (though born in a hospital in San Antonio). The son of a drummer,
Dave played the drum kit in pop bands, rock bands, garage bands, and just
about any gig, as a very young boy, he could find. Still in his mid teens
during the Psychedelic explosion of the 1960s, he left high school to join
a band, and in just eight months they had a national top 14 hit: The band
was Bubble Puppy. From 1967 through 1971 he toured America with the band
making radio and television appearances in between concert dates. When
the band broke up, he settled back in Austin, Texas. Going back out on
the road as the drummer for Folk artist Steven Fromholtz in 1974, Dave
became disillusioned with the music business, and his creative lot as the
drummer, so in1979, picking up the guitar, and collaborating with Austin
singer/actress De Lewellyn, Dave wrote "Too Young To Date" a new wave anthem.
With Stu Hillyer as the guitarist, and John Keller on bass, they formed
D-Day and recorded several singles and an album for I.R.S., A&M, and
Rhino records. When the band broke up, Dave settled back in Austin, and
while touring occasionally as a drummer with friends, he went back to college
to pursue a second career in computer science.
