Hi Dan,
To be able to do some self reflection and be brutaly honest with the person we see in the mirror is an admirable quality.You have opened up something very personal for all of us to see and that takes guts! "You said to me there is no shame in not being good.The shame is not staying very good." Not many people would be that honest with themselves and in the long run Dan I have no doubt you will make it. BroDavid said it well when he stated: "The only person who fails, is the one that will not get up and try it again." You've got the fighting spirit which is an admirable quality and usually what seperates those that are a success in life. Everyone of us has failed at something at some point in our lives. The difference is there are those that fall apart and others that come back stronger than ever. For some reason I think of when Elvis Presley was told he was a horrible singer and should not pursue it as a career. I also think of when Einstein was told he was an idiot at age 15 and should quit school. There are thousands of stories like that out there. Stories of famous and not so famous people that believed in themselves, enough so that they continued to pursue their dreams. It was a setback that you were not chosen this time. However, it's only a setback as you have an entire year to fine tune your act and with your determination there is no doubt you'll blow them away next year. You have gained the respect of many in here and that's better than any gig. Best of Luck to you and thanks for sharing your story with us. |

You know, it also may be part of the process of Faneuil Hall. If it's sooo exculsive and everyone's climbing the fence to get in, maybe it's uncommon for someone to get in on the first try. They might want to see people come at it a couple years to make sure they're really serious. God knows, I'm used to banging my head against the wall.

Oh, my friend we're older but no wiser, for in our hearts the dreams are still the same...

One of my struggles is letting go of my 'babies' when I get constuctive feedback. I get there in the end but it's not an easy path to changing routines. Your experience is a lesson to us all, cut and redesign and then build. Certainly something that I'll be thinking more about with my humble efforts. |

I must underline what Pete said about being a great writer. I have noticed this since I got on the Café. You have a way with writing text that I hope you don't overlook in your daily life.

Well Danny boy....
I’m sad to hear.... But maybe it wasn't you...i mean they already have 2 magi now...right?...lucky which I believe you are at least equal.....and what’s the other guys name...oh yea Gazzo... The more I do my little 15 minute show the more I think of what is wrong...i thought I was pretty good a year or two ago.....but now I realize I’m not so good....it seems the more I do right the more I find wrong....so I constantly re-evaluate everything I’m doing....there are only a few Danny....maybe 5 or 10 that really do it right....Gazzo ...Cellini....Dante...a very few....they were blessed with that gift...but, every time I go out there they tell me ( the audience) that I’m the best they have ever seen.....that’s a pretty nice thing....well they missed Gazzo and Cellini.... And they walk away....if I were great...maybe they wouldn't...my goal is to be so good they will never leave... it’s not going to happen...hell, they even walk away from Cellini....so I wouldn't feel so bad...just get back out there which I’m sure you already have...and get after it....find the things that are right for a few days...that’s what I do. that way I feel good about it...they are real easy to find...there isn't much that do right...then fix the rest...hey....in another 10 or 15 years we might put our self’s in the ranks of Cellini....or Gazzo...but I certainly wouldn't think that I would be there yet....those guys have about 20 years on me.... I bet when you go there tomorrow or today or on the weekend....someone is going to say..."you are the best I have ever seen"....and in those eyes you are... You make them laugh...you amaze...and you enjoy....and somewhere along the way make a living.... Its hard to hear that our life’s work doesn't measure up.....but I don't think our lives are over yet....we still have some time bud.... Your friend koz |

Hey Danny, Do you (or anyone else) have a video of your preformance? I would love to see some real street acts. I have never seen one, only read about them, and am kind of confused on the timing and everything. If anyone has any they would be willing to sell me, please PM me.
Thanks, Deuce |

Danny, sorry to hear the news about the Fanny Hall deal. Obviously you are the kind of guy who learns from his mistakes and draws success out of failures so your already ahead of the game for next year. Best of luck with the 45min show. If nothing else graduating to a big circle show is an accomplishment... congrats on that.
All the best, David |
