After finally finishing my book I decided it would be nice to let some of the people in it be the first to know about it. More than a few years have gone by since my camera captured them live on stage. A little research was certainly in order. Looking for the whereabouts of Paul Davis I was sad to find out that he is no longer with us.
"Paul Davis who played in Bonnie Hayes and The Wild Combo and The Yanks went into a coma after complications with his elbow caused by Carpal Tunnel and he was pronounced dead on Sunday Morning Nov 10, 2007" - Ginger Coyote - Punk Globe Magazine.

Paul Davis, the gifted guitarist was my teacher in San Francisco in 1986. He was inspiring, technically proficient, melodic and beyond words as far as talent is concerned. Funny, ascerbic, charismatic, strong. He treated me like a "real guitar player" instead of just some chick. He and Neal Schon gave me the identical respect I would have hoped for, but never expected, after coming to the Bay Area from Los Angeles. RIP, Paul. We will NEVER FORGET YOU.
Paul Davis was my guitar teacher in San Francisco in 1986. He was gifted, melodic, strong, and an indescribably talented force in music. He treated me like a "real" guitar player, the same as Neal Schon did, and not just as "some chick," when I moved up from Los Angeles. We will NEVER FORGET PAUL DAVIS!!
