SOUNDS OF STORYSINGER DAN HOLTZ

The German poet Heinrich Heine wrote, "Where words leave off, music begins." As an English Professor and history-lover, I've always been interested in stories and how they're told. I've also known since I was a teenager that music can sometimes help people experience some stories better than thousands of words or, even, scores of pictures. That's why I took to writing songs--to tell stories I want to tell.
