The Last Time I Saw Dan Zaccagnino He Was Just Some 15 Year Old Who Wouldn’t Put His Guitar Down…

That was over a decade ago. I was one of 7 senior proctors who lived in Memorial House at Choate in 97-98′. Dan was a freshman who we were lucky enough to have in the house. I haven’t seen him since I graduated that year. This morning I caught a clip of him on the Colbert Report talking about the company he co-founded, Indabamusic. You might have heard of it. They’ve built a global community of over 125,000 musicians in 170+ countries. Incredible. So that’s what you’ve been up to, Dan. A very humble hat tip to you…

    I started at Choate in '99, graduated in '02, and I also remember Dan as a huge musician.

      He was huge into music, from day one. I was only at Choate for a year that
      overlapped with Dan, but I still have strong memories of him around the dorm
      and in Mem circle toting his guitar around. He obviously found his passion
      early. Indabamusic is a phenomenon. I almost fell out of my chair when I
      found that clip on the web.

        Yeah, I actually saw that clip live that night on Comedy Central. I was incredibly jealous, but really pumped to see a friend from Choate do so well!

      I'm assuming the heavy use of sarcasm given that he's your business partner.
