My Interests

msprmHmm, About me... Well, I am the bass player for two bands, "Second Edition" a rock and roll band that has been around since 1969. I joined up in 1992 and BACKLASH a brand new classic "Guitar Rock" project. I love being a "weekend warrior" musician. My Favorite things are... Music of all genres, Spending time with my son,STEELERS Football, Walking the boardwalk with my wife and kids, Changing song lyrics in mid-performance so that the audience gets that look on their face as if to say "WTF"???? Did he just say what I think he said?" (YES I DID), I love anything that shocks and/or amuses people, I love "stay at home Christmas's", I love my bedroom air conditioner turned on full blast. I love new guitar strings. Most of all I love my wife. She has turned "Putting up with Dan's shit" into a lifelong task, and handles it amazingly. You couldn't ask for more than that!

I'd like to meet:
