You bet Henry. But the divorce happend in 1994 and I have been very happily remarried since 1998. And also back in Daniels world since 2002. You have no idea how happy I am to be back with him now. I am also very pleased to be here helping out as much as I can.

Well,
I just got off the phone with Daniel and we were talking about the early times. I have to get a hold of another friend of ours who actually played on one of Daniels early releases. I think he has some cassettes and cd's that I've not seen.  Quite frankly there is alot of music out there that I am not aware of.

I have Daniels first cassete somewhere and with the marriage and divorce and all of the moving I am still trying to locate some of his very first stuff he did back in the late 70's. I think my parents have a few boxes of mine around and I need to go thru it.

Henry, I became a mod all of a sudden so hello and I hope to get to know you better.

Fritz

I watched the trailer for the devil and daniel johnston which made me want to download one of his songs, so i downloaded "walking the cow". omg the first time i listened to it i fell in love with it. for some reason it brings a tear to my eye, his voice, his delivery, his lyrics what he does with the keyboard even though its just him. I love that you can hear his fingers hitting the keys as he plays as the recording is so cheap.

 I plan on buying one of his albums asap. since listening to walking the cow i have been looking up daniels art work, and reading about him and am really looking forward to the devil and daniel johnston, I have grown a great couriosity on his life from just listening to this one song, i heard he had a mental condition which caused him to be extremley depressed, which again, drove me to want to know more about this man.

I can see me really getting into daniels stuff.

Just thought id post here and express my initial feelings on daniel and his work.

thanks,

Luke.

Luke,
May I suggest that you begin with early stuff such as Yip Jump or the equivelent. You need o hear the formative years first.

If you want to "HEAR" what went on in Daniels mind then I suggest 1990. I have to be honest with you. You have to have a strong stomach for that one. I have listened to it once and I have never been able to listen to it again.

Best wishes,
Fritz

I heard my first Daniel song in 1978 I think. We were in Daniels basement and he played it for me. It was Rejected I believe. I know I helped him change the bridge.
