About the Author(s)

Surviving loss, rebuilding life, moving ahead and blending families are all part of “Cowboy” Dan Harrell’s inspirational story and message. This award-winning children’s entertainer and recording artist discusses the responsibility of parents and emphasizes the importance of faith in human relationships. Entertaining and meaningful songs punctuate his points as Dan talks to adults about communicating with each other, learning to survive hardship and building relationships with children. His humor, music and message bring thoughtful smiles to audiences of all ages. Born and raised in the ranch country of West Texas, Cowboy Dan is the real deal. Calling all of West Texas home, he cites Odessa, Abilene, Lubbock, San Angelo, and Sanderson as his stomping grounds. After earning a degree in Agriculture from Abilene Christian University, he lived in the Austin, Texas area soaking up the Texas Music genre that is still alive and well there. He moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1990 and continued to pursue music while working in the agricultural industry. "Writing and performing children's music was not something I planned on doing when I came to town," says Cowboy Dan, " it kinda pursued me." Now he says,"I can't imagine doing anything else." Tragedy struck the Harrell family in 2000 when Lyndee, Dan's wife of fourteen years, died suddenly from a heart attack leaving him a single father of three girls and a nine day old baby boy. "Our whole lives changed in a single instant," Cowboy Dan says, "and they will never be the same."
