Dan The Music Man

While thinking of the subject of this entry, I couldn't help but realize that there are a lot of awesome regulars at my bar. I keep wanting to say "one of my favorites" when referring to them. Its pretty nice, really. I am incredibly spoiled. Not only do I make a lot of money, but I also have funny and amazing stories to tell. Thank you, regular bar patrons, for giving me a roof over my head and a hobby to work on while sipping my morning roast.

Dan the Music Man is another of my favorite bar patrons. He has this aura about him that makes anyone feel at ease. Dan's perspective on most things in life is so open and real. I am sure what he was able to accomplish in his prime had a lot of affect on his personal theory on life.This guy is definitely someone that I would want to smoke a joint with. Currently, Dan is an electrician by day and a Miller Lite drinker by night. I believe he lives in a cabin off of one of the lovely lakes that surround this fabulous city of ours. That's where he probably smokes a lot of pot and plays the guitar underneath the stars.

Dan has such an incredible story. I had no idea of his past until other bar patrons told me the wonderful history of him.When Dan was eighteen, he was the best local guitar tech. He worked shows at the Municipal Auditorium, The Strand Theatre, and the Hursh Colosseum. If a band came to Shreveport, Dan was the go to guy. One day while sitting with his parents for dinner, Dan received the phone call that changed his life forever. It was someone in Los Angeles asking him to hop on a flight that departed in two hours and come to California to tour with one of the biggest rock and roll bands in the world. They wouldn't tell him who over the phone. Without hesitation, Dan packed up his bags and was on the next flight to Los Angeles, California. Once arriving there, he discovered that he was going to be a roadie for LED ZEPPELIN. I bet he didn't regret hopping on that plane!

Dan the Music Man was on tour for twenty years. He had the privilege to be the guitar tech for Zeppelin and several other big name bands. Dan was surrounded by fame, music, girls, and lots and lots of drugs. For a young buck from Shreveport, Louisiana, that is quite the accomplishment. Hell, it makes for an awesome story. After having an amazing life on the road, he then decided to come back home. Dan trained to be an electrician, got married, and started to finally live a low key life. When I was told that story, my jaw hit the floor. The really timid, sweet Dan was a roadie?! Hell yea.

My mission was to get Dan the Music Man to open his mouth and tell me his story. After accomplishing that, I made myself a new buddy. He is a great person to discuss life theories, music, and fashion. Now, I can't get the dude to shut up! Its awesome. Currently, he is a single man desperate for love. Unfortunately he has been down on his luck when it comes to love. Women keep breaking his heart. Dan is definitely the type of man I would date if I were twenty years older. He is very attractive, well spoken, polite, and was a roadie! Also, he is STD free, which seems to be rare from people in his generation. I try to keep him in good spirits, and it seems to be working. That man deserves the best of everything. He has such a wonderful, pure soul. I'd date him if I was in the age bracket!
