He’s half-guitar hero, half-chimpanzee. He’s a children’s music champion and stuffed-animal star. He’s got more toy musical instruments than Target. He’s Dan Munthe — or as the youngsters know him: Dan the Monkeyman. “I started playing for kids as a way to ‘just keep playing’ when my own kids were young,” Munthe said. “I still get nervous but it all goes away when I see and hear the kids singing and playing.” Dan the Monkeyman has performed at countless street festivals and children’s events. “I don’t think there’s a more rewarding thing that I do,” he said.
