Danny telephoned his good friend Evel Knievel during my visit and I spoke with the founder of extreme sports. He stated: “Danny is the kind of DareDevil you just don’t see any more! He brings the spirit of PT Barnum to his museum, which is a classic roadside attraction. Maybe one of the best...ever!" The museum is a one of a kind classic,
better than most I've seen on Route 66.
"Doctor" Danny glows with intense talent!

"PROGRESSIVE” TEJANO MUSIC Genre
aka - "PRO” TEJANO Music
HOW TO SAVE TEJANO
MUSIC: Newspaper Write Up - 1995
NEW Music Genre: “PROGRESSIVE TEJANO”.
Aka “PRO TEJANO” (Subcategory Of The Tejano
Genre)
…By Philip True, San
Antonio Express News, And Independent Journalist, 1995
“Pro Tejano” Is Americanized Tejano Music,
Mixed With: Indie, Pop, Folk, Or Rock, And Includes English Songs, With A Latin
Sound.
Also Includes Child
Singer Songs, Novelty Songs, And Comedy Songs.
The “Pro Tejano” Genre Is More Mainstream
And Saleable In A
World Wide Market, Verses
Regular Tejano, Which Is Only Regional,
Basically In San
Antonio, Texas.
The Goal Is To: Add “Pro Tejano” As A
Subcategory To Tejano,
And Keep Tejano Also.
That Way, New Artists Can Record Styles Of
Their Own,
And Not Be Boxed In
The Vintage Chicano Sound Only.
Most
Other Genres Have Multiple Subcategories Examples:
Rock & Country.
Where Do New Mexican
American Artists Go, To Make It Big?
Tejanos Speak English
And New Talent Is “Forced” To Venture Into The Rock And Country Genres, With An
End Result Of:
Exceptional Talent
Does Not End Up In The Tejano Genre.
“Pro Tejano” Was Originated In 1989, By "DANNY BOY" Singer / Songwriter, Daniel Moreno Escobar, (Second
Cousin Of: Pablo Escobar, From Colombia) AKA: Danny Moreno & “Mexican”
Danny From The Rio Grande Valley, TX.
“Pro
Tejano” Was Totally Rejected By Many
Big Tejano Artists Danny Offered His Songs To Because Tejano Artists DID NOT
Want To Evolve, And Keep Up With The Times.
Tejano Musicians Were In Denial That The
Same Chicano Sound For 40 Years, Was No Longer Popular.
The
Evidence Is: Tejano Radio Stations
Closed, Tejano Music Was Dropped By Major Record Labels Because Of Lack Of
Sales,
The Grammy Category
Was Eliminated, etc.
The End Result: Without Adding “Pro Tejano”,
As A Subcategory,
The Tejano Music Genre
Died Hard.
In The Meantime, Other
Genres Progressed, And Are In The Big Money And Awards.
“Mexican” Danny Is A Mathematical Genius,
And Utilizes Mathematical Equations To Write And Arrange His Compositions, And Arrangements.
Danny Introduced His “Pro Tejano” Demo Songs
To Selena Quintanilla, And Selena Jumped On The Opportunity, And Accepted 24
Plus 20 English And Spanish Demo Songs From Danny, To Consider For Recording.
Selena Had The Vision Of Progression And
Stated She Wanted To Record At Least 12 Of Them, That Matched Her Persona.
Selena Hid The Demos
In A Wall At Her Boutique, Because She Had To Wait Until Mid 1995 To Record The
Demos She Liked.
Danny Moreno Had An Exclusive Composer/Ghostwriter
Agreement With Juan Gabriel And Rocio Durcal, Until Mid 1995.
Selena Was Taken From Us, Before The End Of
The Agreement,
And The Demos Are Still Hidden In The Boutique Wall
To This Day.
Selena Wanted To
Surprise Her Family With The Demos, And Did Not Know How To Inform Them, That
Danny Was Pablo Escobar’s Second Cousin.
Danny Produced A Movie
For Pablo, And Wrote & Recorded 6 Corridos For The Movie.
Danny Stated, Quote: “When Yolanda Gets Out, I
Will “Visit” Her".
Danny Sold 24 Compositions, With The Musical
Arrangements, To Juan Gabriel, Who Registered Them In Gabriel’s Name.
Danny Was Paid $1 Million Dollars, (Which Is
Triple Today) And Purchased 2,200 Acres Including 2 Huge Homes With The Money,
And Initiated His New Career Of Buying And Selling Large Farms And Ranches.
Danny Continued Writing, Arranging, And
Recording Songs,
As The Ghostwriter For
Juan Gabriel And Rocio Durcal.
Some Of The Songs
Include: “Hasta Que Te Conoci”, “Te Sigo Amando”, “Te Lo Pido Por Favor”,
“Costumbres”, And “Siempre En Mi Mente”.
Selena Quintanilla
Recorded A Cover Of One Of The Songs, “Costumbres” Which Is A Tejano Version Of
Danny’s International Song.
Freddy
Fender, Jimmy Gonzalez Of Grupo Mazz, And Raul Reko,
(Carlos Santana’s Drummer) Assisted Danny In Recording Many Of
Danny’s Songs In The
Late 80’s And Early 90’s, At Danny’s 5,000 Ranch And Private Studio, In The Rio
Grande Valley, TX.
Included
Is The 1st “Barbacoa And Big Red Song” (Exact Title)
Which Started The
Barbacoa And Big Red Fad In San Antonio, TX.
George Harrison Of The Beatles, Assisted Danny With Several Demos For
Selena Q.
Danny’s Songs Received International Airplay
On The “Wolf Man” Jack Radio Show. Wolf Man Gave Danny The Show Name “DANNY BOY”
And
They Became Life Long Friends.
Danny Moreno Holds 2
World Records, Has Been Featured In “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not”, Good Morning
America 2 Times, The Johnny Carson Show, TV Documentaries In Over 50 Countries,
Over 100 Magazines And Tabloids, etc.
**
Danny Moreno - Net Worth: 122 Million US
Dollars ** Equivalent:
$122,612,100. Million Euro Here In Spain.
(Actual Figures Are Estimated To Be Multiple Times More)
The Moral Of This Story Is: The World Turns,
And We Have To Turn With It, Or Get Left Behind.
The Million Dollar
Question (Literally) Is: What Music Do Hispanics
In
The United States, Mexico, Spain, And Worldwide Want To Hear And Purchase?
(Keyword - Purchase)
If You Are A Recording Artist, And Can
Answer That Question Correctly, You Will Be The Next “KING” Or “QUEEN”- See You
At The Grammys’.
