I have tinkered around with music since I was young, with first influences coming from being in a folk trio with my Mother and older Brother performing songs by groups such as Peter, Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio and the Limeliters. This was during the 60's.
During and after High School there was a large variety of groups to draw influence from, such as Eric Clapton and Cream, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, James Taylor, Jethro Tull, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Chicago, Steely Dan, etc., etc.
Played in a "basement band" for a few years, and did manage to play some gigs, and a few "battles". At the time, played trumpet, guitar and vocals.
Currently, I record in my home on a Boss BR900-CD digital recorder, using my Martin J-15, and a yamaha keyboard, and do my own vocal backups.

Hello Danley
When John sent me this to listen to, I too was very misty eyed listening to it.
My middle daughter, who is now 28 and a dance teacher, and my youngest daughter, 11, both have been dancing ballet since 3 or 4 years old, and this just brings all those memories of them when they were little, practising their steps, to mind. And still my youngest daughter is doing exactly that, dancing round the room practising for their next show. One is still pretending to be a ballerina and one who actually fullfilled her dream.
A beautiful song, thank you for sharing it.

Hello Danley,
What a beautiful song, I would have loved to have been in your shoes for that dance, I get choked up just thinking about it. The lyrics painted a wonderful picture for me, a masterpiece. Thank you for leaving the comments about my music which brought me here to listen to you. I listened 4 times then emailed my girlfriend (Yvie), she really liked it and added it to her station too!

Hey Danley, this is a beautiful song. I have a hard time writing, it just doesn't flow out of me. This is really good!
