Billboard – Jeff Daniels Takes Acting Break For U.S. Music Tour by Gary Graff > 11.28.09_ENT_JeffDaniels_AJC_12.jpeg-thumb-350×525-17812

In 1976, I bought a Guild D-40 from Herb David’s Guitar Studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, threw it in the back of my old Buick, and moved to New York City. That guitar led me to a creative outlet, became a solace, my church, a road into the artist I didn’t know existed. I put every song I ever wrote into a big, black notebook. I will be dead in the ground before anyone sees or hears those attempts. And yet, like Lewis & Clark, I found my way to my version of the Pacific. Been on that beach ever since.
