<p class="just">When Danks was eight years old, his family moved to Saratoga Springs, New York, where he studied music with Dr. E. Whiting. Later, Danks worked as a carpenter in his father’s construction business for while, but shortly began a full time music career: composing, singing, and leading choral groups. In 1864, he moved to New York City. In 1892, he published <em>Superior Anthems for Church Choirs</em>. The next year, he published
|
|
his best known song, “Silver Threads Among the Gold” (words by <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_r_e_rexford_ee.html" >Eben E. Rexford</a>), which sold over three million copies. Having sold the rights to it, though, he died penniless in a boarding house. His last written words: “It’s hard to die alone.”</p>
