I first met Dan Caron in the mid 80s when he was working at Carroll's Music Center in Lewiston. I believe he was a sales associate at the time, but there was nothing sale-sy about him at all. He graciously put up with me fiddling with all the latest synths in the keyboard department. Dan is one the nicest guys I've ever met and I am honored to call him my friend 30 plus years later.
