Daniel

Daniel Cartier came so close to the bigtime. He is from NH and then went off to NYC where he was discovered as he sang in the subway. He released a major label effort on Elton John's record which got a lot of press and was well received. I thought it was amazing and remember seeing him live plenty of times in MA, NH and NY. Course it did not hurt that he is gay and a hottie too. Well he tried and then went off to LA and like most everyone else there got a bit lost and he eventually faded. He still continued with his passion though and put out his own records.

Well he is all over cyberspace with his own webpage, youtube videos and social networking sites (Judy is his friend on stalker.com). I was watching some of his videos a bit ago and decided to email him so I went to his website and sent and email through there. I was emailing because I wanted to request he do a cover of "Pure" by the Lightning Seeds and it just grew from there -you know me an mail. Although it turned out to be a huge email about all different stuff - I was actually pleased that it was not too rambling - I save rambling for here lol. Well it took a month and a half but he responded. It was a very sweet, complimentary and thoughtful response where he apologized for the delay and said that my email was very well written (is there a greater compliment?). He told me some stories and what he was up to and all sorts of stuff. It really made my day. I was so pleased.

He ended with saying he is going to tour in 2010 and he hopes and he looks forward to thanking me in person at one of the shows. I responded back with the picture that I have posted here and let him know he already did thank me in person. This picture is a scan of the cover of his big cd. He signed it for me at one of the shows. Ah see, sometimes it is good that I do not let go of things.
