Would you name your child just Danny? Or just Dan?

In this episode, I read comments under the following posts from the subreddit Name Nerds:

• How's Dan for a girl's name?
• Is naming a boy just "Dan" weird?
• What do you think of Danny as a standalone name? We don't like Daniel or Dan.

As reluctant as I am to include my own commentary at length in episodes, you'll hear my take on the Danny topic at the end.

"Dan Williams is one of the best bassists in the biz. He is basically a unicorn. You will also not meet a better human who’s kindness is truly inspiring. Everyone needs a friend like Dan."

—Grant Walden, producer/engineer

Talking with Dan felt like catching up with an old friend (and as it turns out, we DO have one mutual friend). Listen to part one of my conversation with Muscle Shoals, AL-area bassist & English instructor Dan W...

It's the final part of my chat with Austin singer-songwriter & performer Dan Guevara! Dan and I talk more about the concept of the Lazy Days LP — to escape and to "live in bliss and enjoy the beauty of the world, and the moment you're in." Dan also talks about his TV appearances; the joy of seeing people dance together when he's performing on stage; The Beatles, Elvis; some more discussion on the song "Dear Anthony" & more!

"Folk with a Rock 'n' Roll Soul" — that is one way to describe Austin-based singer-songwriter Dan Guevara's sound! You might also say Dan's music reminds us that we don't always have to rush through our days; we can be a guiding light to someone in a dark place; and there can be comfort and solace in saying goodbye. It's also OK to look back and laugh at our missteps in romance — our "procrastination" that one time (or several time...
