I placed an order for several copies of your book today with Amazon . . . Of course, it would be difficult for any one person to do everything you suggest, but you have done a wonderful job of compiling the whole ball of wax into one book. It’s a “NO BS” book, has alot of sensibility in it, both musically as well as philosophically, and a wonderful collection of humorous bits, always dropped at the right moment! So, well done, Dan . . . I’ll be spreading the word!

We share the same perspectives about character, ethics and integrity – I also resonated with the empathy you have for others. That takes good parenting, a lot of life experience, getting outside of oneself, humility, and deeply ingrained self-esteem and earned self-confidence.
