, soulful , and at times power out thundering bass lines !} ~ { Dan's strong
four-octave vocal range gives "Blues Child" an open door
to many blues or classic rock tunes. Dan also plays a five string bass , which
is very useful in alot of tunes that "Blues Child"
plays.}~ { Dan's awesome vocal rendition of Blues Travelers' "Run Around"
& "The Hook", coupled with the Blues Brothers' rendition of "Gimme Some Lovin'
", Junior Walker's tune: "Shotgun" , and Eric Clapton's song: "Forever
Man", coupled with Buddy Miles's "Them Changes" & Stevie

the crowd up on their feet and to the dance floor every time !}~ {Also, with
the "personnel change" we made two years ago, Dan-{along
with "Jags"}-on vocals , "very easily" split up
the tunes that one of our past members sang , & "continued on
without missing a beat"!! } ~{ Dan also sings most of the high harmonies
in the band.} ~{Alot of times while Dan is playing , you'll find him jumping
up and down, getting into the music so much, that we nick-named him "Hopper"}

still jammin' away at some incredible leads, ...walking around through the
audience with his wireless on,... standing on a chair or table playing with
his teeth, or playing with the guitar behind his neck, "The Cobra"

"Blues Child", and a "welcomed addition"as

"changes" we were thinking about doing in the band for quite
some time , to fruition !! } ~ { Rich is also another veteran for over
30 years, & is one of Buffalo's "Premier" keyboardists. "Blues Child"
is very happy to have Rich aboard !} ~{ Rich is extremely versed in music
