Dan "Swell" Schultz is a masterful guitar player who at one time worked in Nashville as a studio musician and recording technician.
He has played in many bands over the years and resides in Wisconsin Dells. He brings to Sail ~n~ Sprocket a magic and grace
which embellishes the music with his abilities. He understands what Capt. Tim has written and finds the songs to be of great
importance and is therefore a true partner in this musical adventure. He brings the Sprocket portion to this duo since he is an avid
mountain biker and emerging eclectic songwriter. He knows Capt. Tim is into his 'Sting Thing' # (reaching back into music written in
his early years) and finds the meanings as valid today as when originally written.

He is Brother Jonathan Stoffregen of Stevens Point, WI

Swell loves my music and plays to make it better than when written. A song writer can not ask for more."

# The "Sting Thing" comes from Capt. Tim seeing an interview with Sting on PBS in the winter of 2010-2011, where the interviewer said to Sting, 'Lately in concerts by you, I have been hearing music not heard before, was it new?' Sting replied, 'The music is from my early years, before the Police, and if I don't play this music it will be lost. No one would ever hear it or want to play it!'
So Capt. Tim is into his "Sting Thing".
