Preface of book:

"I Dare You" is for the daring few who are
headed somewhere. Those afraid to Dare might
as well pass it up. It will bore the sophisticated,
and amuse the skeptics. It will antagonize others.
Some will not even know what it is about.
It will not be ever popular because it calls for
courage, swift and daring. But in the eyes of
you, one of the priceless few, I trust will come
a gleam of battle as you read on. You can be
a bigger person than you are and I am
going to prove it to you. WHD

Many years ago I purchased this book,
not for its content, but the cover.
HR9 ; )

The concept of the author was to read the
book, and pass it on to 10 others.
Surprisingly, only one name is on the
inside of this book. It does offer positive
steps in dealing with people and everyday
situations, something many seem to
still need help with these days.

This song was a recent gift from someone
in Wisconsin (you know who you are) who
sent me an email a few days ago and asked
if I wanted a few songs from Uncle Vinty.
Of course I said, and I received 4.
(and Thank You again!)

Quite a few years ago, involved in something else
I mentioned out there on the "internets" that
in the late 60s on KSAN in SF, I heard a
concert by Uncle Vinty, with just himself and
his piano and I'd like to find that recording.

Following the previous post, I thought this song
would fit quite well. These recordings I am told
were from a Reel to Reel tape and stand as is.

Not much is known about him, except he is
now deceased, but did have a club in Alaska
where he'd play most every night.

I remember his upbeat, funny and positive thoughts.

gonna give it back - uncle vinty
