A Day In London

Upon arriving at Victoria Station, Emma and I found our way to the underground and off to visit Abbey Road. The main line to St. John's Wood (Jubilee Line) was closed and it became a wild experience endeavoring through the underground; but we finally got the hang of it!

Upon finding Baker Street we unexpectedly passed 221B Baker Street "Go Sherlock."

Onward to Abbey Road!

When I was in the fifth grade and moving from Portland to Seattle, my classmates gave me the Abbey Road album as a going away gift.  It changed my life!! And Jim Morrison had a lot to do with that as well.

So here I am at the cross walk!!  Just had to do it.

Playing my banjo in front of Abbey Road Studios was a highlight!!  We met two very special people who showed us a great time.  More to come on that note.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!  Dan & Emma

Montpellier France

I arrived in Montpellier France!  The sun is out and it's a very pleasant.

The trip from the airport was a blast, the bus was packed with people and luggage everywhere.

Nothing like hauling 3 suite cases and a banjo from the plane to a bus then onto a tram..Huffing through the Center of Montpellier then up 5 flights of stairs to Emma's apartment..Now I know why everyone here is so fit!

Check out the pics.

We stopped at the store picked up some wine and amazing cheese.  Had a great night out with Emma, Lauren and Alex.

Thursday I'm meeting with my bluegrass friends to do a little jamming.. So much fun!

Sunday the 12th of January I'll be at "The Robin Hood" in Montpellier for the weekly open mic. Playing all original tunes.

Wednesday the 15th of January I will be a guest on a local radio show with friends Simon and Jonathan. Talking about the banjo, songwriting and "The Dan Project"   and of course picking a few tunes.  Sure hope you can join us.

I'll post the info when It's closer.  There will be a live feed and Podcast.

Thats all for now my friends...

  

Traveling up to London by train on a beautiful sunny day, looking out across the english countryside.  Dotted with beautiful old homes and rolling green fields that cry out for their

history to be told.  

It spurred thoughts and song lyrics, I found myself writing as we moved effortlessly down the tracks.

First day of filming in London

We are on our way to London via train to shoot ''The Dan Project" documentary.
On our list this beautiful sunny day is: Abbey Road, London Bridge, Covent Garden and more!!
Will keep you posted my friends!!

Victoria Station

Had a great trip across the pond.  While waiting for Emma at Victoria Station I pulled out my banjo and started to play.  I met so many wonderful people.  Ken who sells his paper to support the homeless was a wonderful man, his daughter is due for her first child on Christmas Day and he was so excited.  Sarah and Kate who were so kind as to watch my gear while I found a Loo.
It was great until I found out it cost me 30p to get in.  Darn, better change up some money.
Off to Maidstone today for a pint and to spread more Bluegrass Love!!

Cheers my friends
