Danny started performing as a teenager in the Cincinnati and Kentucky
area and became a favorite on the Midwest college circuit. Music
captured his imagination, so he quit his art teaching job in Cincinnati
and went on to play nightclubs, restaurants, and resorts from Bangor,
Maine, to Los Angeles. Over the years, he has appeared on-stage with
the Beach Boys, Barry Manilow, Air Supply, Joe Cocker, George
Carlin, David Brenner, Pure Prairie League, the Earl Scruggs Review,
Jimmy Buffett, Little Feat, B.J. Thomas, Mike Reid, Firefall, Red Bovine and the
Drifters.
He recalls his first performance on Captiva in 1975, when he took the stage dressed in a sport coat and armed with a repertoire of Bob Dylan songs. He immediately found that neither his attire nor his song selections were appropriate. The lively crowd called for Jimmy Buffett songs, and Danny was introduced to a new style of music and entertaining, to say nothing of audience participation a la Buffett's beloved, fanatic parrotheads. So, he learned the Buffett songbook out of necessity. But he didn't stop there. Danny began to write his own songs about his personal experiences on Sanibel and Captiva. Danny's CD's contain original songs. They evoke colorful images of sunny beaches, waves, and fun, and beautiful sunsets and romantic evenings. Visitors to the islands request his songs and pack the dance floors. When vacation is over, they return to homes all over the country and the world, carrying with them a remembrance of the lovely, peaceful, colorful spirit of the islands in the form of Danny's CD's and art. |
