Loving instead of hating is worth looking into but takes imagination, trusting your own intuition is good, spreading mindfulness is good...Even if you win the rat race, you're still have to live with being a rat.
Fuck the fear and start living--life is good if you make it that way.

Danny Ray Discography:
Someone suggested that I put together a list of things that I've played on over the years. So, after a lot of time scanning the net and making phone calls to friends who remembered way too much, here's a fairly good list of recordings I've done. I was told of lots of video footage that I didn't know existed, as well. I know there are a lot still missing. So, if you happen to be aware of any of the MIAs please let me know. Thanks! --- Danny Ray
