Dan!

Did everyone but us know about Dan Zanes's videos?!

How much do we love Dan Zanes? A lot. Let's start with S being the original Del Fuegos fan back in the day. I grew up immersed in the same Pete Seeger/Woody Guthrie/Leadbelly/Tony Saletan music as he did. Can we talk about his hair? We love it. And his suits. We love them too.

M says "You have to talk about the music, stupid. And about how B and B know his brother and live around the corner from him, which is just cool."

Me: So what about the music?

M: You aren't talking about how good it is. You're only talking about his suits and his hair. I mean, those things are cool, but would you go see a guy who had cool suits and hair but wasn't a good musician? He's a good musician. And the girls in his band have awesome clothes.

So there you have it: great hair, great clothes, great music...and now great videos!

OH, WOW, someone who knows Arlo Guthrie. There aren't many of us you know, well at least in South Africa. If you find someone who knows words to 'Alice's Restaurant' it is like finding a long lost brother. And how many times have I had that music stolen from me??? Hmm, and 'veins in his teeth'. I might get violent if I knew who to punch!! So, great to find a long lost sister, are there many of you in USA? Coral
