Dave Dances..life, love and art inspired by the music of the dave matthews band Reviews:
Great Condition 
2009-03-04 - Book arrived quickly and in great condition. The tote bag was really tiny, but it was a freebee so I can't complain.
Not what I expected 
2008-12-12 - This is a nice book with inspirational stories from other people and the chapter title's are Dave Matthew's Band song names. But other than that there is nothing in it for Dave Matthew's fans. It offers nothing at all about the band. There are some grainy pictures of the band that were taken with a cell phone and blown up. If you are looking for a book about the Dave Matthew's Band, DO NOT GET THIS BOOK. If you are looking for a book that has inspirational stories to help motivate yourself then fine. But I'm sure there are better books for that.
A Part Of My Personal History
2008-11-13 - Lynda is a gifted, talented, blessed artist and DMB fan. To say this book touched my life would be an understatement. Two years ago my then boyfriend purchased Lynda's original "I'll Back You Up" painting for me as a surprise birthday gift. A year after that he and Lynda planned the ultimate surprise for me. After a day long treasure hunt my boyfriend presented me with an original copy of the book, "Dave Dances". I slowly turned the pages, amazed by everything about the book. When I got to the chapter "I'll Back You Up", I froze. There on the page was a picture of my boyfriend, kneeling with a ring, and the words "Will You Marry Me?". I said "YES!" without hesitation. The proposal is now included in the final copy of the book and we will have it with us always. Such a touching gift for such a momentous event.
Two weeks ago we said, "I do" and danced our first dance to "I'll Back You Up". The book now sits on our mantle, directly beneath the painting.
This book truly comes from a place of love and honesty. Every Dave fan needs it and every Dave fan will be touched by it.
Moving and inspiring...
2008-11-10 - I received a copy of this from the author. She is an amazing artist, friend and, most of all, devoted fan of the subject matter. I believe this to be an accurate depiction of the epitome of what it exactly is to be a true fan. The stories on the inside of this book, including the art and the layout is completely amazing. I contributed my own inspired story to this book and I am truly touched by how it was laid out, for all to see and understand just what it is to be inspired by not only music, but a band. Lynda has understood how to depict the "inspired art" through accompanying stories shared by other fans and the flow of the book is one of a kind...I highly suggest curling up with this book, a blanket and a box of tissues because it will evoke an emotion...laughing, crying and, most of all, inspiration...
Best of What's Around!
2008-11-10 - I love this book-it's so inspiring and it's written for the fans, by the fans. The photographs are awesome as well! I love it!
