The Beginning of the End The Beginning of the End
From the perspective of a person who is at the bottom, is calling out to God for help, and seems to be starting to figure out what happened.
The Mountain and the Hummingbird The Mountain and the Hummingbird
About my thinking that a mountain and a hummingbird have a lot in common in that I can't get my head around either of them and when near either one I just can't get enough of them.
Lullaby Lullaby
About a guy who takes good care of a girlfriend who was frightened by storms but she takes off and leaves him. He still hopes she'll come back and he will sing to her if she ever does.
Glimmer in the Sky Glimmer in the Sky
The songwriter is reminded of his lady love by looking up at the stars and remembering looking at them with her. It's a sappy love song but it's very pretty.

I'm a folky acoustic guitar player/singer. I thought this might be a good place to make some of my music available on the web.Band/artist history
Many years of late nights playing and singing for nobody but myself. Used to play in church a lot. Have been looking for an outlet for all the folky stuff I've never played for anybody. -update: In the last couple of years I have gotten quite a few opportunities to play the folk music, mostly in restaurants. It's been fun! And I've actually made some money at it!Have you performed in front of an audience?I've been playing in church again. And I'm now playing in a duo called "WindHorse."

Hey, Dan!
Is that a Basilean eagle in the background of your picture? Looks like one to me!! Enjoyed listening to your tunes. Sounds great. We need to catch up with one another sometime. Merry Christmas, Dan!

Hey Dan, I dont know if you remember me, but I used to attend FBCDG your father was the pastor.
You would probably remember me as Jim Hansons step-son.
Anyway its good to see you are still playing guitar. I will never forget when you and your wife just got back from a missionary trip to Africa, I believe and you both got up and sang "Lord lead me anywhare" Do you have a copy of that song that is available for downloading? I would really appreciate it.
May God richly bless you as He has your music.
