The BEST fusion/jazz/rock band EVER!! Fantastic Musicians, Great Tunes, etc. Someone at GRP really dropped the ball with SKYWALK! They deserved MUCH more recognition!!!

Thank you for sharing this music. Skywalk was a wonderful band, jazz fusion at its purest, too bad they're not around anymore.

I never saw Dan in the 60's, but I did see several shows with different musicians, one very shortly before he died. He was always intelligent, funny and a great musician.

I got to see them live in 1973 when I was a sophomore in high school. I have been a fan ever since. Dan and the band have no equal.

Re: Tommy LiPuma comment (153:50) on a concert during the Striking It Rich tour. Flash back to Fall 1972, I’m 18 and just moved from NY to start my 1st year at University Of Denver. A new friend had some other friends in Boulder who had tickets to see this band I had never heard of at Tulagi’s on the hill. As luck would have it there was an extra ticket and I went. All I can say is Tommy’s comment is spot on! Total magic in the air that night! I’ll never forget it. Became a big fan and turned all my friends on to Dan’s music over the years. Still listen to Striking It Rich which I believe to be a perfect album.

And I ran into my cheatin' ex-girlfriend at the bar. I cemented my promise to her that I was going in the Army to forget all about the...whole affair! I did. She got hitched to a TV announcer & made 4 little girls, all never to follow their patriarch's given last name. Grus Gott/Praise our Creator!

We used to drive all over Minnie soda drunk and smoked up. Used to get lost in Minnie soda almost weekly listening to your band constantly. Okay, mostly. Hard Rocking listening to a ton of rocky rollin', country, and other genres are music. Where's Nisswa? Oh B-r-r-rmidgi/Bemidji! Dulute/Duluth, lake affect weather very strange!

My brother turned me on to Dan in 76. He battled cancer from 8 years old tell he passed at 23. The joy Last Train to Hicksville brought to him was priceless. I still have the album, mint condition. The joy it brings me is immeasurable. Thank you Dan and the band.

Hey it’s Matt H. I miss all my peeps from the old days in musicians workshop. Maybe a concert in the park is warranted. Lets get the team together again! I know some of us may be too influential to want to do it but I think a good Andrew sisters medley would be fun. Love and miss you all! Jane would be proud of you honoring the history you made together for the community. She was such a light and you still carry that light with you. Hope you’re well Jon.
