Dan lives in the small town of Milford, Michigan,
not far from Detroit, in an old farm house,
furnished in a style they like to call
country/contemporary/hippie-crash-pad. Along with
his wife Nancy, they share the place with their dog
Smitty, and cat Nadine. It's like living in
Mayberry, parades and all.
After spending over 25
years in the music and video business (and becoming
completely disillusioned with corporate America),
Dan is now a freelance graphic designer, (websites,
CD cover design, ad layout, logos...that kinda
stuff) but mostly has been working hard on his
small CD/DVD duplication business doing short runs
(under 1,000 pieces), mostly for schools and
businesses.
Recently, along with his
old CBS drummer Les Ward, he's been rehearsing a
new band called "The dot Commies", doing kind of an
adult alternative/R&B/garage rock thing...doing
covers of Al Green, Elvis Costello, Cannonball
Adderly, Warren Zevon, Paul Butterfield, Morphine,
Major Lance, The Yardbirds, The Rationals, John
Hiatt etc.
Hobbies include gardening,
gourmet cooking, adding to his enormous record/CD
collection, and collecting cheesy B&W 50's
sci-fi/monster videos.

Keith lives in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina with his wife Mari Jo and
their dog (Annie), cats (Trixie and Ellen), Guinea
Hen (Pecker), 2 ducks and 10 chickens. The birds
live outdoors of course and are collectively
referred to as "Poultry in Motion" (courtesy Bill
Kirchen).
Keith is still an avid
music fan and attends shows regularly at the many
venues around the Triangle area. He also plays live
whenever possible and can be found rehearsing with
the new band out in the barn every other week or
so.
During the day he is a
hardwood lumber broker/wholesaler and operates his
very own company. "It ain't rock and roll but hey,
it pays the bills". His hobbies include cars,
guitars, reading, landscaping and globe trotting
whenever possible.
