Remember The 57′ Chevy Belair??
Ramblin’ Dan’s Father owned one the original 57′ Chevys…Dan remembers fondly that period of time from his childhood living in Upstate New York in Duchess County…(the Boondocks) in a tiny town called Holmes,N.Y.
Dan remembers traveling with his Dad in the middle of the day and night listening to the popular music at that time…Elvis…Chuck Berry …Buddy Holly and Hank Williams…on the great little radio dashboard!
While living in the “Watch City” (Waltham), in the 1990’s…Dan wrote a cute little diddy
reminiscing about those days called “Dad’s Ol’ 57′”
“If there’s a Highway to Heaven,
I can hear my Daddy revvin’
his Eternal Ol’ 57′”
This tune can be heard on Ramblin’ Dan’s CD, called “Hermit From A Shack”…
Never Forget 9/11…a Tribute Song to ‘THE SOULS OF LIBERTY”
Two months after the attack on American soil;
Marine friend Mike Welsch, approached Ramblin’ Dan with an idea to write a song in tribute to ALL Americans touched by the TRAGEDY we now call “9/11″….
Mr. Welsch took a recording of the song and sent copies out to many VIP’s around the world; including the First Family at the White House and also The Prime Minister of England…and many others…
Ramblin’ Dan and Mike received letters from all who were reached for this special song!
The song is known as “The Souls Of Liberty”…
and can be heard on Dan’s eclectic CD,”Visions From Paradise Road”
“CATCH IT!!”

“Massachusetts Man”
This is my “Signature” song.
It came to me after a long period without a home….
And when I moved to Winchester, Massachusetts back in 1980….I wrote this tune as a grateful tribute to the Commonwealth I was raised in….I’ve had the pleasure of singing it at the State House in Boston,many times..You can find the recording on my “Hermit From A Shack” CD…and you can listen to this song on this Website.
“I’m a Massachusetts Man,Happy to be where I am…Content to be who I am, Massachusetts Man…………….”
Watch Out! It’s “Watch City Beat”!
Good news Ramblin’ Dan fans… My latest CD “Watch City Beat” is now available for purchase, and will be available to listen to real soon.
The CD was originally recorded on Analog Tape in 1993 but, through the magic of Chris Smith and “Green Lion Studios” it has been re-mixed and re-mastered onto disk.
Every song was written in Waltham, MA., (The “Watch City”)
…all my adventures in that funny little town!!
