And though I've been a fan of Daniel's work for years, especially his contributions to the KIDS soundtrack, I just recently learned that he grew up in Chester.

How did growing up in the Panhandle influence your life, Daniel? For my part, I thought it totally sucked. That being said, was there anything specific about the locale that you'd identify as a major contributor to the person that you became?

Also, though you've lived in various places about the country, do you still feel an inextricable connection to WV, or did events of your life sour you on this neck of the woods?

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
