Dear friends !

I have listened to my latest music posted on
the site and I have come to the conclusion that
my creativity as a songwriter as well as a performer
as a singer has come to an end ! I recently broke
my hip bone cup in a skiing accident and have been
recuperating in hospital for a couple of weeks completely
free from computers and that kind of stuff.

I am at home now but cannot weigh on my right
leg until april 4 th at the earliest, so I am
wheel-chairing around or using sticks as
much as possible.

I have been listening to the latest of my production
posted on the site and I´m not satisfied with the result.
For this sake I will withdraw from posting on
the site but I will probably be able to listen to your
production every now or then as I also hope
that you´ll keep composing and performing
at the height of your abilities, something I´ve
now reckoned I cannot do anymore!

All of you wonderful guys and guyettes
will always stay in my mind forever !
I came to become very fond of you
during all those incredible years we
all got together and I even got to make
music together with some of you wonderful people !

I will never forget that, and neither will I forget
this absolutely superb software that made it so easy
for an amateur like me to scribble down a piece of music !
For this and for all those years I had the pleasure
of becoming ranked among the winners of the upgrades
of this wonderful tool I am more than indebted
to Peter Gannon and his more than superb crew !

From me to all of you:

Keep Safe and Take Care

Dani

Hi dani48,

Take good care of yourself. And recover quickly to come back to us with wonderful compositions. Courage. We are thinking of you.

Kindly regard

Hi, Dani.

I'm sorry to hear about your injury, as well as your retirement.

Get well soon, and I look forward to seeing your comments.

Dani...
Sorry about your troubles.
Hmm, that is strange... I found your later offerings better than earlier I have heard. That is my opinion.
In any case, I wish you a fast recovery, and perhaps when you heal, you will reconsider your relationship with writing music.

Kind regards,
Misha.

I agree with Misha,
your writing, and particularly your vocals, were constantly evolving and improving.
I'm sure you'll return when the weight is on your hip and not your shoulders.

My My,
That's a sad situation, I hope your recovery goes well.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.

I sincerely wish you the best and hope you can return to music making.

Sorry to see you go, Dani. Sorrier still to hear of your misfortune. Hope your recovery goes according to plan. All the best!

Dani, it's hard for any of us here to have the exact right words to say to you when we haven't experienced what you're going through. I like Ray and others have mentioned, thought your recent material sounded great! I personally hate to see you give up on producing your music. My hope for you first of all is that you have a speedy recovery and have a renewed passion for creating music again. You have been a great encouragement to me and many others here in support of our music and I want you to know that I appreciate that. Take care and I hope to continue seeing you around here! Torrey

Dani,

We always enjoy your music and look forward to more.

Very sorry to learn of your misadventure, and wish your a full and fast recovery.

Don't hang up that microphone too soon. Your contributions are always a delight to receive.

Trevor

Good luck. Maybe you'll be back with some songs? I've thought of hanging it up a million times but never drew that hard line. But, if you decide to end your hobby/art/craft, good luck. If you ever decide to come back, we'll be waiting for you (hopefully, unless I hang it up too ).

Dani,
Sorry to hear about your accident, and hope things improve. Music never leaves one for long, so I hope we will see you back here with some new music. In the meantime, be well and thanks for your contributions here.

There has never been an artist in the history of the world from Michelangelo to Brian Wilson who didn't think their work was Scheiße Haus ! We all spend long periods writing for the rubbish bin and
we tend to be our own worst critic but that is a healthy motivation to move onwards and upwards. Personally I very much like your music or i wouldn't be bothered to write this.
We are all unique so the complexity of your character means there will never be another Dani who can write a Dani song. Ever. That’s incredibly precious.
You are in a Funk at the moment but it will pass as it always does.. Never say never. Why not use the oppertunity of your down time to write a special song to a very special person and then post it here.
In anticipation
Gary.

Sorry to hear of your accident Dani and wishing you a speedy recovery. You have been a favorite PG Music artist of mine here on the forum as long as I have been a member. I like the music you create and perform and hopefully as others have said, the injury is affecting your 'musical' mood and time will heal your wound and lift your spirits.

Take care,

Charlie

Dani,

Wishing you the BEST! And hoping that you will find your musical muse again down the road...

Here's to a full recovery Dani.

I have enjoyed your songs all the years you have posted on the forum, and I won't say goodbye to that because I know you will be back!

Some day soon when you are not in pain, you will wake up with a new nice melody and lyric in your head, And I am sure you will feel that you just have to record it with that nice smooth voice of yours.

And I will look forward to hearing it here on the forum.

Best regards for now.

Sorry to hear about your injury Dani. But no more surf tunes. Your songs playing when the wind was howling at -40 C brought warmth and sunshine to my day. I am sure you have a few more. Rest up and get well soon.

Hi Dani,

Sorry to hear about your accident and all the best for a speedy recovery.

I do hope you'll reconsider your retirement - you really are a valued member of the forum
and I always enjoy listening to your contributions.

Best,
ROG.

Hopefully music will pay a part of your healing process in some capacity.

Dani,
I`ve enjoyed your amazing vocals for a few years and though I get the "I`m done" feeling, I do hope you`ll reconsider and be back posting with your surf`s up style in better days.

Robert

Hi Dani ...

Di and I wish a full and speedy recovery from your skiing accident. Your music has been a blessing to this forum. You have an uncanny ability to write and sing about love and human emotion that is quite envious. Music is a strong hold on its creators and performers. Perhaps it will find its way back to you. That would be another blessing for the rest of us.

Take care of yourself and get well!

Alan & Di

Dani,

I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you recover as soon as possible!

As regards the music, I'm truly sad to hear you've come to that conclusion. Yours is one of the "go to" names on here whenever I have time to log in on here and look for new songs to listen to. If you are indeed to go, a musician of your calibre will be more than just sorely missed, and I absolutely mean this. I genuinely hope and would even urge you to reconsider.

Please stick around if you can :-) - don't deprive US of your music :-) Thanks, either way!

Take care and our best healing wishes to you.

And that ole muse might be around the next corner waiting on you!

J&B

Dani, I recall you contemplated 'moving on' once before, but fortunately made a wise decision to keep going. And when things looked bad, keeping going had a better than expected result.

This will be the same. When things look down it's easy to think about moving on, but deep inside you know you have to keep doing what comes naturally.

Have a short time away, you deserve that, but never give up on your music. And that's an order!

Look forward to more of your participation soon.

Trev

So sorry to hear of your accident, Dani. I ALWAYS enjoy your music, and hope that you will be back to writing and singing as well as you do. You are very inspirational and encouraging. I truly believe that most of us write music because we can't stop. This forum is a treasure and your are definitely one of its brightest gems. Speedy recovery!!

Take care of yourself and I wish you a speedy recovery! And yes hopefully if you decide to return, I'll still be around to welcome you back. (One just never knows when one's time will be up.)

Dani,

Very sorry to hear about your misfortune. I hope you have a thorough recovery and I wish you good health. I do hope you return sometime with some new material. I always enjoy your songs.

Scott

Hope you recover soon, Dani. Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
Leon

Dani, hope you recover quickly. I don't think you should stop......I always look forward to your posts. Your songs have some wonderful harmonies, and are always a lot of fun. Please don't leave!! Take care. Greg

Hi, dear friends !

I did not expect you
wonderful people to
answer my message as
my intention was
merely to inform you
all of my departure as
I´ve been on the forum
for a realtively long
period under which I´ve
come to know a lot of you
really much and thus I felt
obliged to inform you of
my plans !

My situation right now
is such that I really
cannot say anything about
tomorrow other than that
I am preparing to move from our
city apartment to a house on the
countryside so you can imagine
my situation when I should be fit
for a fight with removing the furniture
and I am in fact crippled at
least for a long time into april !!!

I feel humbled by your well
wishes, they will be carrying
me thru all these obstacles I´m
experiencing at present and I´ll
be hoping to be able to come back
if my dormant creativity and
not so dormant lack of songwriting
and -performing ability would
by any chance undergo some sort
of rejuvenation ?

Thanks to all of you !

Cheers
Dani
