"Dan is comfortable with the mighty New York musicians that came before him. Actually, he's well-liked by players young and old, including my sons Sean and Mikey. With coaxing, he'll speak of the great box players like John Nolan, John Whelan, James Keane, Martin Mulhaire, the legendary Joe Madden and National Heritage Fellowship recipient Joe Derrane from Boston. They're but a few of his favorite box players here on the East Coast.
"As you'll hear on this recording, Dan is becoming a pretty great player himself. His music is tasteful, beautifully thought out and elegantly executed. As the Irishman said, "If it were any better it would be wrong." I learned this past August that Dan is also a fierce, fearless, and flawless competitor. My wife Annie and I proudly witnessed his stellar debut performance at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Co. Cavan, and I can safely say that the All Ireland Championship title will be his if he chooses to pursue it."
