From online guest book

I'm so sad to hear my old friend has moved on from this life. We (Dan, Jim, Bruce, Mike, Bill) used to skip school and go to Dan's house and listen to tunes in the basement. Seems like the song below was a running theme to our mischief. At least in my mind and memories,fitting in celebration of Dan's life as well.


"But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
The low spark of high-heeled boys..."
