Definitely. I agree with El Greko. Dan McKinnon is a singer's singer. He's one of the best Songwriters we have going. I've seen him any number of times, from Busking to concerthalls. Every time, he's extremely personable and keeps an audience enthralled with the stories behind the songs that he sings.

Keep 'er going, Dan!

Am hoping to get to hear Dan at some point during his visit - hope all the travelling isn't too tiring. Safe journeys!
