Alive WE Ride

I’ve been spending a lot of time on my snowboard… In The Mystic Mountains – scoring Fresh Pow turns with my friends…  It’s one of my favorite things in life to do… It’s a unique and addictive feeling that I call…  “FIRST CHAIR” And if you have ever had the chance to be on the first chair lift after a fresh dump of snow – you know what I’m talking about… You’re on a mission - you get up early, you get after it… You beat the crowds, get in line, grab that first chair and scor...

Todays set list ‘MAGIC SANDS” Was born at sunset on the beach at Mountain. As I sat there listening to my music, watching the Sun Set over the Catalina V’s…  I saw this train of 100 Pelicans glide across the horizon… It was a spectacular event to witness – and I felt this huge wave of gratitude wash over me… I felt so blessed to have the opportunity to share the music that inspires me with my listeners... So I hope you enjoy this special set list of tunes crafted from the heart, on the sand at the beach...CheersDag
