DANIEL,

    JUST A QUICK NOTE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH ME AND MY FAMILY ENJOY YOUR MUSIC (MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS FAVORITE SONG IS SPEEDING MOTORCYCLE) YOUR MUSIC IS TIMELESS AND JUST DOWNRIGHT GREAT. YOU ARE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGWRITER. IN MY OPINION YOU ARE AS ORIGINAL AND GREAT AS DYLAN OR LENNON. I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC ON A DAILY BASIS AND IT BRIGHTENS MY DAY QUITE A BIT. I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA WHERE TORNADOS ARE A COMMON THING AND WHEN THE SIRENS GO OFF AND I HAVE TO GO TO THE STORM SHELTER I GRAB MY KIDS MY DOG AND MY DANIEL JOHNSTON MUSIC COLLECTION BECAUSE IF WORSE COMES TO WORSE AND MY HOUSE IS BLOWN AWAY I HAVE ALL THE THINGS I NEED TO BE HAPPY. I WAS REALLY BUMMED THAT YOU FELL ILL AND HAD TO CANCEL YOUR SHOW IN OKC MAYBE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SCHEDULE IT AGAIN THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IAM SAVING MONEY TO BUY SOME OF YOUR ART, THAT WOULD BE ONE OF MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSIONS. ANYWAY DANIEL TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND I LOOK FOWARD TO HEARING MORE MUSIC IN THE FUTURE.

Hey Daniel!

I heard you at the roskilde festival while playing poker in the grass with my dad and my cousin.

Later on I found it quite interesting and me and my dad went further into the crowd. 

It was one of the most special musical events so far for me and I took it kinda strange how they talked about you and your perfomance.I liked your riffs and the melodies were simply strong and that voice wasn't a problem as it may have seemed, I don't like people judging and comparing voices whn all it need to do is fit with the music and be a bit special. We think that we got influenced by your troubles and espesially due to that my dada works with those people with more or less physical problems. And I have never heard such applauses, you were really appreciated! At the end of the concert we were almost in the first row and then we bought  the Songs of pain/More songs of pain CD and we've been pleased and happy(?) since.

Kalle, 14, Sweden.

Dear Daniel
I am a 17-year-old boy from Denmark who has spent the past 8 days on the Roskilde Festival where you played last Saturday. I didn't know anything about you and your music until i read in the festivalprogram that you were going to play. I took the chance and went to see you instead of the marvelous rapartists El-P, Aesop Rock and Rjd2 who were playing at the same time. I had been looking forward to the rap show for a long time so it was a hard descission to make.
You didn't disappoint me. Your concert is the most moving thing i've ever seen. Simply amazing. Your lyrics and your performance left some serious marks on my consciousness. Now I have to get Fear Yourself so I can hear if you're as great on record as on stage.
Bottom line: You've given me one of the most beautiful concert experiences ever. Thank you very much Daniel. I hope you're well and that love isn't too tough on you.

There's an incredible show happening this Sunday, April 20, Easter.  Daniel Johnston is performing in the ballroom of the Southgate House. Doors open at 8, and the show starts at 9. It's $10, 18 and up.

For those of you who have never hung out with Matt and had him force you to listen to his hero, the hundreds of songs that Daniel Johnston has written over the past 20 years make for some of the most heartfelt music you're ever likely to hear. This is the first time that he has ever performed in Cincinnati.  EVERYONE SHOULD COME, don't miss the chance to see a legend perform, and at the top of his game! His latest album is one of his best.  Me or the Moon will perform before DJ, and Fudgie & Fufu will start the show.

Thanks, hope to see you come out.

 Hello!
   I saw Daniel again in Northampton last night. The show was just as satisfying as the previous evening, maybe even more so.
    I was able to enjoy Dan's opening act, Kimya Dawson. I had never heard her before ( I couldn't hear her at the MIDDLE EAST in Cambridge due to the loud crowd and poor sound ) and was pleasantly shocked at her beautifully rendered songs. Her voice was sweet contrast to the painful lyrics. I immediately bought one of her CD's after her performance.
    And on to Daniel... The Iron Horse Cafe in Northampton, MA is a small, personal venue where everyone sits at tables and can comfortably enjoy the show. The drawback is being forced to listen to the nonsense going on at the other tables....
    ... he came on stage at midnight and played even better than the night before. Bottle after bottle of water was placed by Daniel on the card table ( which held his portable keyboard ) in preparation for his 40 minute performance. I don't think he finished the one bottle he opened.
    His playlist varied slightly from his previous performance. His eclectic manner on stage was evident again as he fumbled with his notebook and as he slowly migrated his music stand to a position directly in front of his face, effectively blocking out the audience. A tactic to hide himself from the room? Maybe, but I got the sense that he was just trying to be comfortable.

Greetings!
       I saw Daniel last night in Cambridge, MA. and really enjoyed his performance. It was the first time I saw Dan live ( I am seeing him again tonight in Northampton ) and I was fascinated by him. His presence was not overshadowed by glitz or any amount of pretension. On stage, his songs sounded just as sincere and personal as they do when I listen to his music over my headphones.
       The long pauses between songs as he leafed through his notebook, searching for his next song, made the experience more personal in my opinion. I got the impression that he made up his playlist as he went along, choosing songs that he wanted to sing at that moment. It made for a wonderfully honest session.
       I am excited about seeing him again tonight.
