And that's how small our Hancock County really is. Right Kevin?

Hey Kevin, how are ya?

My wife has just recently found a load of Danny's original drawings that were done at Quaker State.  I'll be posting them when I scan them. They are from years ago, 1980 to be exact. And they are wonderful!!!

Thanks Henry. And those tapes, I'm working on it. Honest.

That's a great question. I supposed the first I would use is "Worried Shoes". It's heatbreaking and yet does look towards a brighter future. Then I would hit them over the head with "I Killed The Monster". Yeah, hit them over the head with it.

It's great that you like "Artistic Vice" E-A-L. It was an album that was recorded with Danny's good friends. It may not be "professional", but it was from the heart.

Danny hd this album cover done waaaaay before he decided to record the album. He showed it to me atleast a year before we decided to get together to record the album. If you look closely you can see where he removed pictures to add "Artistic Vice" as well as "The Eye Band'. Danny actually cut out the pictues from comic books. He kills me!!

Awww, come on Henry. I can get the band back together. 

I just got off the phone with Bill, Mabel and Danny and had a wonderful chat. I was telling Bill that the person I went to the movie with freaked when they ran the home movie when Danny is dressed up like Mable. Seems this lifelong friend of Danny's was the one running the camera for it. And for the one scene that you see Danny and Mable's arm, that was the friends arm and Mabel was running the camera.  Now how cool is that?

  Just got back from the Harris Theater in Pittsburgh and my first viewing of "The Devil and Daniel Johnston".  Wow! One of the most incredible viewing experiences I've ever had. Man did this movie bring back memories, both good and bad. I have sooooo many things about it that I want to comment on that I'm first going to let the whole experience sink in before posting some of my insights. One thing I was soooo very happy to see though was how well Bill and Mabel looked. They've both been through so much and yet are still such a lovely couple. Love ya Bill and Mabel!! And Dick, you haven't aged a day!

Like I said, I spotted quite a few things I want to share with you all from the movie. And I will, oh boy will I!!!!!

Woo Hoo!! Going to The Harris on Thursday!! A good friend of Danny's and I will hit the 5:30 show. I am soooooo looking forward to it!!


(Can you tell I'm excited?)

Just as a little help, the link needed an "N" on the eNd.

My wife and Danny have been friends since their youth. They grew up in the Church of Christ together and were inseperable friends during those youthful days. Tammy spent many a Sunday evening at the Johnston household after Church playing in the garden play area. For Christmas presents Danny used to draw pictures for her. Tammy has always been enamoured with Tigers and here's here favorite drawing of Danny's. The back of the drawing is inscribed "A Tiger For Tammy, Happy Ho Ho ..... Dan Johnie".

Another rim shot sounds though out the forum!!!!

Or maybe "Crazy Eye"? (Naw, a group already had on like that, "Sandy Duncan's Eye".
