At the beginning of the Wars of Independence in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina I wrote a song called Can We Go Higher? as a plea to the world to stop the genocide in my country. It was a scream in the dark, until I met Danny, music to my ears, angel in disguise. To make it short Danny connected me with Kathy McManus and CBS's Street Stories with Ed Bradley, Billboard Magazine, CNN etc and the message got out. Editor for that CBS segment was Victor Zimet a man who later followed me with his camera for 15 years and made, with his partner Stephanie Silber, an award winning documentary film Everything Is Forever. Vic and Steph are as well my friends for life. Nothing of this would happen without you Danny. Later, Danny was present when I performed at Woodstock 1994, Concert with Luciano Pavarotti, Bono 1995...etc see the photos Danny took.

By definition Danny was a journalist, documentary filmmaker, social justice activist and media critic, but that would be a reduction and simplification of what Danny real was and is. The man who understood the world affairs; talks one minute to the president of a country and the next minute talks to a group of elementary school kids. Only highly intelligent and highly compassionate people can do that.

Danny did and could work for major networks as a highly paid producer. By being and staying as an independent journalist, Danny chose truth vs comfort. Only rare birds put such value on truth.
