In an earlier thread I asked Dan if he had a UK outlet for his CD's. His swift reply enabled me to buy a copy from the US (in UK currency)inside 14 days and much cheaper than the current prices for CD's in the UK. If like me you have never heard Dan before are you in for a treat. I can endorse everything written about his performance on earlier threads. The man has a voice to be envied and the arrangements and musicianship are in the same category. Thanks Dan for a CD that will bring Mrs. K John and myself many hours of pleasure. Regards KJ |

If you can get your hands on a copy of Dan's book, co-written with Paul Kaplan, it would be a wonderful addition for you. The book is titled "Songs of England, Ireland, & Scotland" subtitled "A Bonnie Bunch of Roses". This is a wonderful collection of 150 traditional songs replete with comments and notes on each song. It has become a full fledged member of the Dog Eared Books Brigade in my reference library. All the best, Big Mick |

My copy like yours is well dogeared. It's a crying shame we can only get Dan's book over the counter and not his records! regards KJ |
