Dan Philgreen
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.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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 live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've been playing in church again. And I'm now playing in a duo called "WindHorse." Check us out at windhorsemusic.com

I was smitten by the sound.
Are those enough influences? I should be easy to peg based on this list, no?
