Dark Star Dan
Dr BLT: (rough draft)
words and music by Dr BLT © 2009
Darkstar Dan
really knows his music
Darkstar Dan
really knows his stuff
from years back when
when the Bakersfield sound
was young
Darkstar Dan
has been a lot of fun
chorus:
he can take you way back to the day
when Buck and Merle and Red and Rich
would play
he's a country music fan
and he runs a record store
with books and vinyl jams
and so much more
Darkstar Dan
if a part of our history
Darkstar Dan
used to work at KUZZ
he's the friendliest dude
in this whole damned town
Darkstar Dan
he'll never let you down
(chorus)
so won't you give it up
for Darkstar Dan
when it comes to music
Dan is the man
I'm gonna consult him
on each and every plan
better watch out
for Darkstar Dan
(chorus)

If you haven't met Dan, a local hero in the eyes of Bakersfield-sound-grounded artists and vinyl lovers everywhere, you will. He's got an interview spot on Bakersfield's favorite radio show, Bakersfield and Beyond. Check it out at 6:40 pm on the airwaves or stream it tonight at:
KWMR
For more information:
Bakersfield and Beyond
Good song featuring A Band of BLT's. He's got a great shop in a little cottage complex across from the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield. Learn about history and buy a rare piece of musical history for less than a couple of bucks. Darkstar Dan is the man!

Thats weird, they used to call me Ratskard Nad back in the Nam. j/k, no body ever called me that and I was only 3 when the Nam ended, but I do know "darkstar" by the Grateful Dead, which I'll use to sequey into another shameful NoiseCollector plug because Reb and I ( Daedman & Digi Hartatak) did a couple unconventional dead covers that most DeadHeads would probably turn their nose up at but we have gotten some kudos from some of the Dead fans at archive.org, heres our (NoiseCollector)direct link at that sight: http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=noisecollector%20AND%20mediatype%3Aaudio&sort=-publicdate
