Daniel's Story

It has been a long and very different life from what anyone would expect of me. Soon After Graduation I decided to be a musician - guitar player. I started with Surf Music, playing all up and down PCH. then went to jazz (LA studio musician) and on to rock'n roll. I toured the country with my rock band for many years rocking n rolling. As one girl friend said "all you care about is Guitars, cars and women" not quite true - but an idea of it all (no drugs or liquor ever) I Settled down in the San Jose area just at the start of "Silicone Valley" and opened my first guitar and guitar repair shop. that went real well Married and divorced a Downy High girl (!!?). I tried (the first time) to retire to Trinidad - way up north, north of Eureka. A beautiful small town right on the Ocean. I looked out at the sea, watched the Whales play etc. for several years.

Now I am semi-retired in Grass Valley CA. Up near Tahoe national forest. A beautiful place. I look out of my cabin windows and watch the deer, squirrels and other creatures play. I am getting old like we all do. I keep up guitar playing and will do some more writing for Kindle/Amazon/Nook. I am trying to settle down and take a long look at life's triumphs and mistakes, joy and despair - see what it all has been. Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied- "If you seek for Eldorado!" Dan Torres
