David Gordon began his music career at the age of 8 playing the violin, at 12 he began to play the drums and guitar, and by the time he was in high school had added the piano and organ to his array of instruments. During the late 60's, he played the drums and keyboards, as well as vocals, with the pop group: The Blades of Grass.

David appeared on several television shows such as Shindig, The Joe Franklin Show, and toured with Neil Diamond, The Doors, The Dave Clark Five, as well as performing backup work for Van Morrison and the Fifth Dimension.
