BACKSTORY!!
This page is dedicated to you hardcore Dayton Waters fans.  For every song
there's a story.  And like the songs themselves, some are better than others.  
Some of Dayton's music is very dark - and that means it came from a dark place
or a dark time in his life.  In those cases, we may leave some of the more sensitive
details out of the story.  This isn't to hide any truths or run from them - there are
some things Dayton chooses to share with select people only.  We hope you enjoy
the opportunity to get to know Dayton and his music a little better!
Dayton says that theres no bigger compliment for a musician than for another musician to
learn his music.  For those of you who would like to do that,  we've added the
LYRICS/CHORDS page so you can learn the songs as they were written by Dayton!
