about

I was born in 1942 in South Philly at the Naval Hospital. My dad was a career military man in the U.S. Marine Corps. He fought in the Pacific. We moved from base to base most of my childhood. I even had my own little Marine uniform, of which I was very proud. We lived in Virginia, Barstow, California, North Carolina, Guam and South Jersey. We finally settled in South Jersey and I spent all four years in the same high school. In 1960, I left behind my girlfriend and went into the seminary to study for the Catholic priesthood. I received my B.A. in Classical Philosophy and pursued my masters in English Literature at Villanova and my masters in theology at Mount Saint Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md. I did not finish either. I taught high school English, Latin, and Religion for the next few years, married the lovely Marian and we had our five wonderful children. We worked, played ball, camped a lot, and did ballet and church for years. I played guitar and sang my songs at church and at home with the family. Marian and I both loved having the kids. They eventually became known as the Danielson Famile. I did carpentry for about 30 years. As the kids grew up they all worked with me and learned quite a bit about building. We had so much fun working together. Daniel started recording himself and others and eventually recorded me singing some of my songs on my album, "Deep Calls To Deep," which I love. I now have about 180 songs. I started writing songs i
