| Danny started performing as a teenager in the Cincinnati and Kentucky area and became a favorite on the Midwest college circuit. Music captured his imagination, so he quit his art teaching job in Cincinnati and went on to play nightclubs, restaurants, and resorts from Bangor, Maine, to Los Angeles. Over the years, he has appeared on-stage with the Beach Boys, Barry Manilow, Air Supply, Joe Cocker, George Carlin, David Brenner, Pure Prairie League, the Earl Scruggs Review, Jimmy Buffett, Little Feat, B.J. Thomas, Mike Reid, Firefall, and the Drifters.
He recalls his first performance on Captiva in 1975, when he took the stage dressed in a sport coat and armed with a repertoire of Bob Dylan songs. He immediately found that neither his attire nor his song selections were appropriate. The lively crowd called for Jimmy Buffett songs, and Danny was introduced to a new style of music and entertaining, to say nothing of audience participation a la Buffett's beloved, fanatic parrotheads. So, he learned the Buffett songbook out of necessity. But he didn't stop there. Danny began to write his own songs about his personal experiences on Sanibel and Captiva. |

Sanibel Samba- The Songs of Danny Morgan (instrumental renditions) For all of my years playing music, I’ve had the honor to play with wonderful talented musicians. When they would take solos, quoting the melodies of my songs, I got the idea that it might be cool, to do a recording of great players playing new and exciting versions of some of these compositions. Put it on during cocktails, dinner, or any time at all. Released Nov 1 2008. Listen online and/or Purchase ... click here! ***or order directly from Danny
