David Liuna Toy was born November 16, 1942 in St. Louis, Missouri. By age sixteen, he was performing in East St. Louis nightclubs as a guitarist and pianist. During the next few years, he appeared on stage with such notables as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, B. B. King, Bill Justice and Ike & Tina Turner. In 1966, David took up the Hammond B-3 Organ and, with the aid of an electronic percussion machine, entertained in hotels and nightclubs throughout the United States, performing solo.
In 1978 and 1979, David lived on Grand Cayman Island located in the British West Indies. During the day, he worked as a scuba dive master, instructor and underwater guide. In the evenings, he performed his solo act, to which he added fire eating and dancing barefooted on broken glass, in the lounge of the Galleon Beach Hotel on Seven Mile Beach.
David moved to Orlando, Florida in 1980 where he was employed as the house comic at an elegant four hundred seat burlesque club for several years. When times were tough, he worked part time as a floor bouncer in a topless go-go bar, where he kept boisterous customers in line, more with his sense of humor than by force. These were jobs and not a lifestyle. He played guitar and keyboards at the Winter Park Christian Church and, to the delight of his mother, filled the pulpit for Pastor Bill Underwood during the pastors vacation one year. Many songs that David wrote were included in the church hymnal and the National Literary Foundation published his poem: Mother Ocean. He is a licensed real estate broker and instructor.
Shortly after the motion picture: First Blood was released, David wrote a sequel to it titled: Honor To My Unit. The executive producer of First Blood read and liked it. For a time, it looked as though David's sequel might become First Blood II but Mr. Stallone completed his own part two and that ended that.
In 1993, while bumming around by himself on a scuba-dive outing in Mindanao, located in the southern region of the Philippines, he met and married the love of his life, Deselma 'Bing' Cabingas. Their union was blessed with a son, Mark David, born in 1994.
