Greg McDaniel

Story

Played in cover bands till @25, then wife got with child so I had to get a JOB to support. Sold all my equipment but just one old Yamaha acoustic. Wrote a few terrible songs when I had time. When I was in my early forties I had a little more time and songs just started coming to me all the time. I've written well over 100 but never really done anything with them professionally. I have some on Number One Music, my newest, Reverbnation and My Space. Would love for someone else to record my songs. Love and Peace on ya, Greg

What is music to you? What does it give you?

What is music to me? When I'm up or when I'm down, music is always there. I play my guitar everyday, even if it's just for a minute or two. I'm never bored. All I have to do is play my guitar or any of the many instruments I have. Really music is and always has been in my life. I started playing in a band when I was 12 and have been in several till my mid twenties. Then I quit because my was got with child and I had to get a real job to support them. No regrets. I really didn't start writing songs till I was about 40 and they just started coming like crazy. I still write songs but not as many. don't really know how many I've written, close to 200 or so. Writing song is like children. some are beautiful, some not so BUT I love them all.
