His favorite song from the Fraze Gang cd was "Stargazer" of which he would play before every cancer treatment to get him pumped up. The lines "take what's in front of you & turn it around, cause everybody sings the blues, so stand your ground" really struck a chord for Dave and gave him hope. One of Dave's final requests was, instead of a traditional funeral he wanted to have a Rockin bash with family, friends & Fraze Gang. The band is truly honored & will be Kicking Ass Davie Moore style!
