Dan is playing his vintage Rickenbacker --> guitar and his keyboard rig includes two Casio CZ-101 synthesizers. He is clean-shaven so this is probably 1989 or 1990. |

Curtis Patterson trying to open this box of --> wine. STREETCORNER was legendary for their love of wine. It was not uncommon to find them all sitting in a parked vehicle in a group member's driveway an hour or two after rehearsal was finished drinking wine, singing and laughing their fool heads off. Typical dialogue at a gig might be, "How long before we have to play?" "Five minutes. . ." "Alright then. . . let's make a run to the store. . ."

<--Hamtramck Festival. STREETCORNER played at the Hamtramck Festival for 10 years (from 1989 through 1999). This festival ran over the 4 day Labor Day weekend and had attendance figures that often exceeded those of the Michigan State Fair which happened during the same time period. The City of Hamtramck would block off Joseph Campeau and there was lots of food, carnival rides, music and beer. . . lots and lots of beer. . . |

| Dan "on stage" in Hamtramck. .--> At the Hamtramck Festival STREETCORNER played on a flat-bed trailer which wasn't very deep. Dan had to set up very close to the edge of the stage. He often had people tugging on his pant legs asking stupid questions in the middle of a performance. A typical exchange; "Hey. . you guys are great. . . can my buddy sing with you?" "No." "@#)$(* you man. . . you guys suck" "Security. . . please come to the stage. . "
