Thanks for showing us how, Danny.

Amen, and thank you, Johnny. ❤

Thank you, BP. xo

So, another DU member falls asleep and the wheels of poetry turn slightly slower. Never knew Dan, but he obviously lived it & felt it. Beautiful tribute. RIP.

Thank you, Rob. Yes; he lived it. xo

Beautiful words A.
Rest in peace Daniel.

Ahavati, Certainly, no poem or few small words can hope to capture or do justice to an individual as complex as he, but even still you have written a very fine piece.  Dan was a one-of-kind unique individual, and, personally, a man that I owe a substantial debt of gratitude towards. No doubt that this place and indeed the world will be the poorer for not having him around, although it is to hope that he has found some peace in the great great whateverafter.  
Rest in harmony, Saxman Dan.

Be well, Ahavti my friend and thank you for sharing this.

I didn't even try, Van. There is just no describing Dan. He was one of a kind and VERY before his time.

Thank you, my friend. So happy to see you back around again.

They are great, but we must be very good and understanding students to learn all those conceptions.

Death catapults that lesson in every life of loss.

Feels as much like a prayer as a poem, composed with your judicious use of language to create a rhythm. Is there a story behind the photograph?

EDIT I’ve just seen your Author’s Note.

I'm sorry, Jack. I should've messaged you. I just assumed you knew. Yes, Dan left us earlier this month. Today is a rough day. . .

The photograph is one he sent me YEARS ago when he was on tour. He was playing in Atlanta and wanted to meet up, but I was a professional photographer and had that weekend completely booked. Sometimes there never is a next time.

I'm sorry you didn't know. He really liked you.

Yes, lessons we all need to learn. Thanks. Oral

Thank you, Oralizer. He was an amazing person.

Who is cutting onions around here?

Dear Ahavati, I know that I did not get the chance to know Dan as much as I could have except through a few comments here and there in years past. But your rendition here is absolutely beautiful and humble to a man who I now wish (and think I could have connected with our interests in music) could have known better.

Wonderful and beautiful tribute in all it's sincerity.

He was a truly remarkable person, Wally. You missed a great opportunity to connect. Not many knew of his musical prowess. I've worn out his CD Tao & Grace myself.

Thank you.

What a great message!  Particularly like "teach us tradition
and appreciation"

Thank you, Lozzamus. He was a remarkable human.

Splendid remembrance piece Ahavati.

Thank you, Samael. I have really been missing him since baseball season started.

I'm teaching my son T ball later today so this will stay with me. I dig some baseball and look forward to taking my son to his first big game when things get back to normal if they ever do.

Yes; make those memories! Some of my fondest are my conversation with Dan surrounding baseball. Thank you for honoring his memory in such a way.
