Retrospectives
Mayo Thompson, 2005[1]
For a while we were actually a five piece, with [Steve] Cunningham's friend Bonnie Emerson and this guy, Danny Schact. He was something else. When we decided for sanity's sake to make the group a trio, we called a meeting and broke it to Emerson and Schact. Schact's response was great, he just said, 'It's OK, man, your music is ontologically unsound anyway.
2015[2]
[He] marched in the anti-Vietnam War parade wearing part of a military tunic and was indicted for it. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court and it was thrown out because it was street theater and freedom of speech. But they took him all the way to the Supreme Court for it.
Thorne Dreyer, 2022[3]
Danny Schacht had been my close friend since the mid-‘60s. He worked in electronics with his father (who was an electrician by trade), and was an amateur inventor. Danny was also a leftist and anti-war activist. He took photographs for The Rag, a ‘60s-‘70s Austin-based underground newspaper that was also briefly published in Houston. Danny and friend Raymond Ellington later co-wrote a column on Texas labor history for Houston’s Space City! called “From the Other Side of the Bayou.” I was an editor of both papers. About the Space City! column, Sherwood Bishop wrote in the book Exploring Space City! that Danny and Raymond “described Texas labor history that wasn’t taught in the schools or labor halls.” “They reached back into buried Texas history,” he said.
