It's simple: "I've never had an opportunity to go anywhere. I had that one offer to go to NBC. I had an opportunity to program a radio station in New York City. We had one conversation and I never heard from them again.

I guess it doesn't speak very well of me." Danny would like to go to Hollywood and make movies. He believes he would make a good character actor. He says being a disc jockey is what he loves, although there are some things he'd like to change. "I don't select the music. I'd play a little different music if it were left up to me.

"I don't get to play any Elvis Presley. I think lo boa disc jockey and not be able to play Elvis Presley is ridiculous." Danny spends his spare time playing golf which he says relaxes him. When he's not on the links, he's working with his bird dogs.jTupting. fishing or practicing yoga. After his divorce, Danny bought a house in Quail Creek last December.

The only plans he has is to plant a garden and a "bunch" of flowers. But he's still in there pitching. This summer he's starting a new TV show, "Danny and Mary's Summer Show," which will be premiering soon on KTVY. So who Is Danny Williams? "I'm just a child of God. a free spirit.

And I said just trying to be flip and entertaining 'I'm a member of the The next morning it was construed that I said I was married lo Gay lord's daughter. I didn't say any such thins. Sometimes I'll say something to be entertaining and people will take me dead serious.

Then when I say something serious, they think I'm hilarious." Then there's the public feuds. Danny savs all the people he kids on the air like Jerry Adam's, Ken Root, Ed Hardy arc really good friends. He says it's all just show business clone in (un to entertain the audience. Some of the phrases he uses each day on the radio have piqued curiosity "Today's my birthday." "traveling east" and "I love you pass it on."
