I recall Danny Holiday when Dan was Dan Thygesen taking this story back to 1958. Then Dan was living in Anacortes WA.. as Dan and his family moved to Anacortes from Everett WA.around that period.
Dan soon became very popular in school high school he played a little JV Foot-ball and also in the school band. It was in his sophomore year that Dan got a job after school working at the local radio station in Anacortes, Dan was 15 years old.. Sometimes he would allow some of his friend to come down to the station and hang out.. Dan was real serious about his job,,,as when the red light went on in the sound proof radio station this meant he was on the air, we had to be real quite or he would tell us to leave. That never happened as we were happy to be there. Things are the way they I moved to California and Dan went on into the radio business and then to a PR position for Capitol records.. So many years later I again connected with Dan .. And soon found out he changed his name and had retied at a young age of fifty two and was still spinning records.. This is when we reconnected during the years he was at KSER radio.. I used the stream radio system to hear the radio station and each week I was glued to the his Saturday show.. Some time later I recorded some of the show and have I guess 25 hours of listening music recorded on 15 or more CD.. I still listen to Danny.. Now let me just say it is not because i lack music to listen as I own a lot of music.. NO! its because I liked the way Danny presented him self as well the his Rock and Roll Time Machine program. What I am sad to see is there is or at least i have not found it yet these recording of old shows for others to listen to.. I would of thought his shows would of been recorded and made available if they are available some where please tell me where i might find out as i wish to have my friends listen to Danny Holiday.. Danny's shows will never age as time moves on. I miss you Dan. by John Skaarup Catelli Merced CA
