Manticores and Owlbears

• Track Listing

Imagine a boy who loved two things above all else: Music and he RolePlaying Game known as Dungeons and Dragons. At the age of 10, this boy was introduced to both, and every free moment throughout all his years was spent furthering one or the other of these beloved pursuits. Over time, music became his career, and Dungeons and Dragons, his pastime. His goal was to become a bard, and nothing less would suffice. This is me. Dan the Bard. With a lute in one hand and a dicebag in the other, I have followed the path of the wandering poet, musician, storyteller and musician. Whether I was a student or teacher or performer, my friends and I met every week to play our favorite RPG's. As the years passed, stories of our dearest characters, and every shared experience became a thread in our ongoing history of friendship and camaraderie. So overwhelmed with this joy, I wrote a song or two, then three or four. And before I knew it, I was singing these songs to every gamer I could find! The audience asked for more, and the result is this wonderful album, Manticores and Owlbears!
