Customer Reviews
Quick, fun little stories
I like listening to Dan's stories because of his interesting characters. From the bully down the street with a soft side to a kid having to run from the mean crow in his backyard, I'm sure to find someone fun to hear about when I listen in. His songs are good too and a nice break in the pace.
