Blue Heaven Gospel Blues




David Brummett
David Brummett (Brummy) Bass, Songwriter and Lead Singer
At the age of eight I started playing a 4 string tenor Guitar tuned E, B, D, A. Soon I would change it to G, D, A, E. My parents bought for me a four string Teisco Bass from Sears and Roebuck. Boy I wish I had that guitar today in mint condition. My brother and I started to play along to the Ventures, Dave Clark Five and the Beach Boys. Soon after we found Jefferson Airplane, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and the list goes on. After a few years I was old enough to play schools and played at my first High School graduation. I wore a wig and had a fake mustache. We played the Who’s “I Can See For Miles and Miles and Miles”, and destroyed the stage like the real Who did on the Ed Sullivan Show. In the mid 70’s I worked at GHS String Corporation and helped design the string that is called Bright Flats. Presently I work at Dean Markley String Company, and have created strings for Billy Dickens, and Randy Jackson. Soon after I quit my GHS gig to play music and get together with some fellows, and one of them is the current drummer in Blue Heaven, Lyn Myers. We played for around nine years with only two weekends off. At the end of the Unbranded Band I was feeling burnt out from bars, drug use, and an aging father who I was taking care of. Soon after my father passed away and I received an inheritance of $100,000. One day I woke up in a Crack house with a Crack pipe in my hand with no money, and no family. This only took one year or so. Remember, if you could remember the 70’s and 80’s you were really not there. One day in the 80’s standing on a porch of my drug house I reached out to God and asked for help. Two weeks later I was facing two to 20 years in prison for sales, manufacturing and possession of Cocaine. I received Jesus in prison and have been clean and sober for 18 years as of 2008. Today I serve the Lord Jesus with Blue Heaven spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
