Danny,
what a shock.
You were the Italian among the Italians of the E Street Band. Your accordion was a magic within the magic.
Never really knew you well, but that afternoon in Genova, when I met you guys backstage, while you were with Max, I came to you, straight, and asked to play Loose Ends.
Kinda rare, kinda impossible, I thought. You just said ”let me give it a try when I see Bruce”.
Not only the E Street Band played Loose Ends that night on stage, but you, Roy and Nils played one of the funniest moment ever for us Italian crowd: the three accordion players in the land of the three tenors.
And Bruce’s mom and aunt danced their neapoletan roots off next to all of you guys.
Rest in peace Danny. We all miss you so much, but I can see you now dancing with your shirt open like a latin lover along the shore.
And that makes me feel better.

Ermanno, that was a heartfelt letter to Danny, very nice my friend. He will be missed by all of us, a sad day indeed on E Street, a sad day with his family and friends...unexpected, we all hoped for his speedy recovery, but now he's with his other great musicians and friends, Warren Zevon, Terry Magovern, John Bonham..perhaps he'll be jamming with Miles Davis. Rock'n roll will never dies..Danny spirit lives on. We so will not forget our Italian fratello..co-founder of the E Street band. Thanks bro.

Thanks for sharing that memento, bro.
Joe
