SPECIAL FEATURE: PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AWESOME
Please excuse the deviation from my regular posts and take a moment to check out this youtube channel, created by a wonderful musician I qualify as an awesome person, even though the rest of the world doesn’t quite know about him. I discovered this guy, Dan Hardin, a couple years ago and have been looking forward to each new post ever since. I think he deserves more recognition. He performs covers of mostly old swing, jazz, country and folk songs, as well as some originals (such as the video above). Enjoy his flawless voice and skill.
Check out  Tennessee WaltzDead CatsDon’t Fence Me In and Tango Till They’re Sore as well.
