About Me

I set up this site to share some of my songs with the rest of the world. It's kind of my payback for me waiting 44 years to release my first record. The music is my saviour, with equal parts God and the Devil as my muse, the soundtrack of the battle eternal. If you like what you hear post a comment! And check out both www.danweldon.com, and www.myspace.com/danielweldon for more info.

I'd really like to thank Parkwood Guitars (www.parkwoodguitars.com), Zu Cable (www.zucable.com), Dimarzio Pickups (www.dimarzio.com), and last, but definately not least, Bill and Nadine at enRoute music (www.porchboard.com) for the "Legendary" porchboard, thanks all for the continued support to my success and for helping me find "my" sound!
I love this guitar, thanks Parkwood!

And here they are, the infamous Korene Greenwood and BB Melanson, the worlds finest recording partners, who regularly contribute their time and musical talents to my songs (Korene sings and plays bass, and BB plays anything I'm too lazy to play, and usually better than I can). They are also known as two thirds of the world renowned "Bastard Red-Headed Stepchildren From Scotland". As the redheads, we run a blues jam at the Wine Cellar every other Sunday. These two look cute, but watch out, they will steal all your alcohol, and whatever else they get thier mitts on...
