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’.
