“Dave Fry is a legend in the folk music circles of the Lehigh Valley – storyteller of colonial children’s and political songs, virtuoso on guitar and mandolin. Fry’s good-natured humor, warm smile, inviting eyes, fuzzy moustache and casual dress make him a natural folkie.” – Robert Hicks, Easton Express-Times
