Bonjour Tout Le Monde

As you know, I have been hanging out in Montpellier France since January 6, 2014.  It has been an amazing adventure: playing music with The Transatlantic Bluegrass Band, a radio show about
"The Dan Project", busking in the heart of Montpellier center and this Wednesday I'm playing a gig with the band, Apple Trees, in a local pub. Join us, The Transatlantic Bluegrass Band, January 31st as we tear it up at the Robin Hood Bar.

February 6, 2014 I will leave this wonderful city and venture to Rome and beyond.  If all goes as planned, I will be traveling with my friend Nicky to Spain where I hope learn the magic of Salsa dancing and play more soulful bluegrass.

I do hope you have enjoyed the youtube posts and pictures of old and new friends.  We are waiting for a cable to arrive so we can download video footage and post part of the documentary for your viewing.

Thank you for your patience and I hope you like following my adventure!

A day in Montpellier

Out all day today trying record more tunes from cool places.  Some days it seems like everythig is against me.  To much noise, crazy people on mopeds, trams going by and lets not forget the rain.  Had a few good takes but not good enough to post.

Friends

Whilst playing at Abbey Road we met a mother and daughter Rhian and Mary.  It was Mary's birthday and we were invited to her birthday party in Victoria.  We had a wonderful evening singing, playing music and eating amazing Irainian food.  

10 year old Rhian is an amzing singer and blew us away!  Look for her on Britains Got Talent!!

Bev, Emma and I had to run for the last train home.  I think I will buy a mandolin as this banjo is getting really heavy!

The Second Chance Saloon

Just uplaoded this.  A song I wrote called "The Second Chance Saloon"

Hope you enjoy it.

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
