About Me

I'm a saxophonist and composer of the jazz variety. Honestly, I probably spend too much time as a musician and not enough time relaxing - too many nights have been spent in the practice room. I'm always happy to cuddle up with a good book. I'm a dog person. For most of middle school my best friend was a black lab named Chase. Needless to say, I'm also a huge dork. I Volunteer as a Mentor for the I Have A Dream Foundation. I usually smell like roses. ************************************************************ ************** Here's the deal. I'm working on a project and am in need of a poem. Please help me by leaving poetry on my wall. On the subject of taste, know that, though I respect such doggerel, I usually prefer poems that don't begin with lines such as, "Here I sit broken hearted" or "There once was a girl from Nantucket." I will treat any person who leaves a poem of great profundity to home-cooked dinner and a milkshake in the flavor of their choice. Thanks in advance. =) ************************************************************ ************** To: Artists, Dancers, Poets, Musicians, Writers, Sculptors, Gardeners and Anyone else who loves what they do. I'm a huge proponent of collaboration both in and outside the arts. Anyone interested in such a partnership should contact me immediately. ************************************************************ ************** Check out myspace.com/dannymeyermusic
