David Harding

American musician, a guitar player and singer popular in the Aspen, Colorado area in the 90s. David performed from age 12 and by 15, was touring with a band. In Nashville, he worked as a sessions player. He is the son of a professional musician dad who played jazz sax for Stan Kenton, Nat King Cole and others, and a homemaker mom, a close and comfortable family. In 1977, his career did not seem to be progressing and he was tired of the effort so he left the entertainment business and went through a dozen different jobs before returning to the music field. He married in 1988 for a year. David was comfortably established as a performer in Aspen when he met Amy Rodden the winter of 1995. When her marriage broke up, they began an affair on 10/28/1996. David bought a condo in 1997 and became a family with Amy and her two boys. They are exceptionally well-suited, both clowning around and involved with song-writing and performing, and David made a relaxed and capable foster parent to the boys. In March 1999, he had a heart artery block that caused a temporary scare. In December 1999, he lost a good-paying steady weekend club date at the Ritz-Carlton when the club sold and through 2000, he and Amy played gigs together in the Aspen area as well as varied gigs that included a movie-bit.
