When asked the question "What do you think about the re release of Ode to Quetzalcoatl 40 years after it's inception?", David contributes the following:

"I am truly amazed there was an interest and am quite surprised that so many people are following this album's path. It seems to have a life of it's own, separate from me. I'm not completely sure what the attraction is to this piece of work, so I wanted to get this website up so I could connect with the people who found value in this album." 

As a young man in the 60's, David was caught up in the LSD phase. After 2 years of experimentation with the drug lifestyle, David yearned for more that his empty life had produced. He wanted something real, something meaningful, something to fill his soul. He was tired of the hallucenations that were drug influenced and the disappointment that came when they wore off.

Shortly after David decided to give up this hollow lifestyle, and unbeknownst to him, God had a plan for David Bixby.  During one of his performances at a local coffee house, 2 men from a nearby church approached David asking if they could pray for him. They told David they felt led to pray for him. They said God would reveal Himself to David in a way that would be understood. After prayer, David felt a huge relief, but was unsure if what he experienced was true. "I knew I was broken, and I wasn't sure if God really existed. I  wanted Him to be real".  A few days later, David revisited that church late in the evening. He found the doors unlocked and went inside to see if he could get answers to questions about God.  During prayer, David felt "touched by God" in his mind, heart and soul. He felt an overwhelming feeling of peace, bringing a sense of security that he had never felt before. David heard the words "choose this day which god you will serve, do not trust in the arm of flesh, but come unto Me for all your needs".  The words did not come in a audible way, but were clear none the less. 

As David shared his experience with other young Christians, he was chastized and not believed because he didn't "fit the bill" to have this type of revelation. David's desire to understand God continued in spit of the skepticism of this community. While on this new journey, David found that his old friends and lifestyle no longer worked, and he didn't have any connection
    
  
to people who claimed to believe in God and Christ.  He felt very much alone. One night, feeling rejected by both sides, he considered for a moment what it would be like not be here. During this defining moment, David felt the Spirit of Christ and heard Him say "David, I love you and I've been with you from the beginning". This was the beginning of David's transforming relationship with Jesus.   

David's hunger to develop his relationship with Christ led him to a group of people with similar goals. Later this group evovled into a "Christian cult movement", and David like everyone else became enlisted in the cause. During this time, David performed several concerts with his own music. He was asked many times if he had or  would produce an album. "Ode to Quetzalcoatl" was written between David's spritual awakening and the cult formation. It was pressed to vinyl just prior to the cult taking off, making only 1000 copies. The revenue was used to support "group" activities. David continued writing and playing, and "Harbinger" was made to financially support the now growing cult movement. Several years elapsed, and David felt as spiritually empty as he did during his drug influenced days. As David challenged the leaders of the movement, he found much resistance and eventually was ostrasized by the group making it possible for David to leave. David  reconnected with the living God, and the words he heard earlier in his life were revisited "...do not trust in the arm of flesh...come to Me for all your needs". 

David spent several years afterward helping others leave the cult movement so they could seek the one true living God.

Where is David now? The past 40 years have been filled with adventure, travel, music, creating, teaching and exploration. The one truth that David has found is that "God is real, and He will meet us right where we are".  Today, David spends his time playing music, performing Civil, Revolutionary and Colonial War reeanactments as his business "Historical Reenactment" in Williams, AZ. He is still working on his relationship with God and trying to reconcile his "human" view with  God's view for his life. David has realized after having lost and finding it again,  that nothing can replace or compares to the direct relationship he has with God. 

"I am thankful for Matvei Procak all his efforts, as well as Guerssen Records in gettting "Ode to Quetzalcoatl" in print again. It's been fun to look back and see how far I've come from those "tormented loner" days. Blessings to all"
