ave you ever wanted a special song made just for you or for that special occasion?
One of the exciting things that I am planning to do is the creation of personalized songs for others.  I have had lots of experience creating my last 2 CD's with unique and original songs.  So this process should be fun for both parties involved.
Just think of the possibilities!
 
Also, I have released all of my songs for the public to enjoy.
This is my new copyright statement:.

Commercial use or distributing for profit is prohibited without my consent.
You may download, save, copy, and distribute all my songs freely without profit.
 
 
My wish is to give you hope in the midst of life's ups and downs.
And hopefully my music and lyrics will give someone out there the encouragement to face life with minimum fear.  I know I have trouble doing that from time to time.
 
The link: "Listen to my music" will tell you about donating to my cause and entering a drawing where you can win a free personalized song for yourself (a $150 value).  I will be having a drawing 4 times in the next 12 months.  So think about your own personal story that you would like put into music form.  I think I can make that happen for you!
 
Sincerely......Dan
