Often, if not most times in radio, when a DJ disappears either because he quit or was fired, most people never know why until they read about it in the paper. Or hear it through the grapevine. Once in a while, however, there is mention of it on the air.
In one of the most classy turnovers I’ve ever heard, “Dandy” Dan Daniel signs off and hands his afternoon show to Dan Taylor. Both men were friends who had worked together in Country radio, at WHN (1050) and at WYNY (103.5), and there was a deep admiration and respect for one another… and it shows in this 5 minute clip of Daniel’s last full time appearance on WCBS-FM.

Dan Daniel was always a class act. Really,really good on the radio and a comfort to listen to in spite of a personally challenging day. Where is he now. I would love to know. I think he is retired but if he has an E-Mail I would like to thank him for the hours and hours and hours of good clean entertainment. I have very fond memories of d.d. and I’m pushing 65 so,you know,I was there. Still got my Good Guy shirt although quite faded. Might seem crazy, but, folks, those were the GOOD OLD DAYS>
Dan Taylor and Dan Daniel were talking about their change in 9-12, not PM drive.
I have such wonderful memories of DDD. I would always send him greeting cards via the station.
In response to one card, on the air he said “her mind is so far out there, the buses don’t run”.
Miss you
Hi there…does anyone know where Dan Daniel is today? He was a great friend of mine in the late 80’s when I lived in NYC….
I grew up with Dandy Dan on WHN in the seventies and eighties. He was so much a part of my family’s life that when he signed off we were absolutely heartbroken! My mother and then myself were local and regional country artists who learned soooo many great tunes spun by DDD. He truly was a major part of our lives and growing up without him wouldn’t have been the same. Here’s to YOU Dandy Dan Daniel!!!!
