You don't have to call me Danny...

I've got a weird announcement

If you made it this far, you probably noticed something a little off about my name. You see, the thing is, there's this other guy who has my name too. I've known about this other Danny Burns for a while now (I imagine him with a goatee and a dark shirt, so the viewers can tell us apart), but he's starting to pop up on playlists and such, so it is time....

Why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks... right!? Nah, he doesn't suck, he's a really talented Irish/Folk/Bluegrass musician. Yeah, I had my name registered, I have put out a lot of music under my name, etc., but it's a lot easier to just have a little professional courtesy and defer. But enough about Danny Burns, this is about ME!

So what will people call me?

That's a loaded question: People call me a lot of things, and I don't expect that to change.😃 I'm pretty sure you've figured it out by now. I tried on a few: Danny Mercy, Danny Gambrel, Danny LaRue, Danny Whipkey, Danny Cougar-Mellencamp, D-Bizzy, Burnt Danny Rhymez and a few more.

But I figured I'd stick with what a log of people already call me: Danny Vago (no, I didn't think "that a-hole with the solid body Rickenbacker" made a very good stage name).

So that's it, that's the big announcement. I changed my name (well not really, just on stage).
