I uncovered a tattered, old post it note last Friday. Crushed and smothered under a pile of paperwork on my desk, it had clung to it's important message for months. "Danny Schmidt," it almost gasped aloud upon its discovery. Nothing else was written on the page. A dim memory bulb flickered, and knowing I often scribble down musicians, song titles, etc that I want to look up later, I went straight to my reliable, know-it-all friend Google who quickly told me everything it knew about the mysterious Danny Schmidt.
The bad news --- Danny had his cd release party here in Charlottesville last month - should have stuck that post it on the calendar. (Evidently he's an Austin, TX based singer/songwriter who records in C'ville).
The good news --- I dig his music. I downloaded the entire Little Grey Sheep album and then a few other choice songs. Listened to him most of the weekend.
Even better news --- call him generous or call it marketing savvy, but he has a few free MP3's from each of his albums on his website. I'm still getting to know his music but "Company of Friends" and "This Too Shall Pass" are two of the songs I've been enjoying. Before the video, I've included a link to the freebies.
