Q: Why does "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens play at the end of every show?

 It is a tribute to a friend of Dave's who died in 1991. Grish was one of Dave!'s good friends and indeed a major influence on him, musically as well as politically back at Pueblo South High School which Dave! attended for his Freshman and Sophomore years. When Dave!'s folks were transferred to Utah following his 10th grade year, he never got the chance to say goodbye to Grish or even tell him that they were leaving. For the next thirty years there was always a wondering what had happened to each other.

 

Thanks to Facebook, Dave! was able to reconnect with a Band Friend who let him know that Grish had passed away some years before. In a Daily Dave! Morning Briefing Dave! spoke about Grish and the influence that he had on him.

The song, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was a popular and favorite number of the South High Pep Band, and prominently featured the French Horn Section, which at that time consisted of Grish and Dave! (for the Pep Band, anyway). It serves to remind Dave! each and every day of a friend who influenced him as well as a reminder to listeners that they should take the time each and every day to remind the people who matter in their lives that they are important and that they love them. You are not promised tomorrow and you do not want to miss that opportunities and have those regrets....
