Moonlight Chronicles. - periodical reviews

Reading this collection of one man's handwritten, unedited, wonder-full thoughts and drawings is like receiving the best kind of letter a nice fat one, full of news, funny anecdotes, favorite books, movies, prices.... Don Price invites us into his thoughtful musings on nature, art, relationships, and the solitary self He reminds me of many -- Kerouac, Hemingway, and Thoreau, to name a few - and he acknowledges his influences, obscure and well-known alike, with due reverence and respect, without gushing or embarrassment,

Dan's sketches are fantastic, his words honest; even his recent collaboration with Simple Shoes (the tale of which is told in issue #16) has integrity, The Moonlight Chronicles reminded me how nourishing it is to observe and absorb, reflect and imagine, and of the joy in translating some of that experience through informal, candid correspondence.

* ... The Amazing Grace tapes are from those times when I sat with the congregations of small country churches with a tape recorder in my lap ... Some of these people are off key. Some are stark naked in their reverence for god and jesus and some of them you sing along with hoping to help them finish the long song.... and from within all this spinning, sweet voices of humility and redemption pour out into the quiet countryside, down the gravely roads and mingle there in the front seat of an old black car with a statue of jesus glued to the dashboard.

* You wouldn't believe where I get to brush my teeth! Each night I wander over to the river side and there with singing rapids, glowing moon, shining stars and distant town lights, enjoy the ice cold water.
