Daniel in his garage studio December 2001

Daniel's world is a patchwork of images, sounds, memories, feelings that he finds release for in his studio a.k.a. his parent's garage.   Having "taken over" the garage, he ornaments it will art, posters, trinkets and thousands of albums and CDs.   Here he listens to music, smokes, composes, smokes, and waits for dinner time.  He sleeps most of the day and works at night.

Daniel school photo 1977

By the time Daniel was a Freshman in High School, his hair had developed that Einstein effect and he was known for his home-made comic books and caricatures.

Hmmm..  some striking similarities with the Featured Member this month!

Promotional Photo of Daniel in 1983 Homestead Records

This is a copy of a rare promotional photo taken of Daniel in 1983 for Homestead Records.  The photo captures Daniel in his "day-job" in those days at the McDonalds in Austin, Texas.  From here he evangelized his music, handing out hand-made cassette tapes until labels like Stress and Homestead published his works.

Daniel with mom and dad 1974

The last of five children to leave the nest, Daniel was still in High School, but already drawing up a storm and writing songs, and had a reputation among friends for his hand-made comic books and caricatures.  He never did really leave home for long, of course.   Mental health issues and failed attempts at making it on his own, he is today living in Waller, Texas with his parents - who are 79 and 80 years old.

DANIEL 1989 PLANE CRASH

This is the plane crash in Arkansas (taken several days later) with his father standing nearby - caused by Daniel during a psychotic episode.

Both Daniel and his father were black and blue on the entire front of their bodies, but no broken bones.  Daniel spent the rest of that year in a mental hospital in Little Rock..
