Donna is a singer, songwriter, musician. Donna's heartfelt honesty is expressed through
a variety of genres with folk, rock, latin, country, and spiritual all being included.
"I decided long ago to challenge myself with being blindly honest to myself about who I
am in regard to deep feelings and issues. As I do this, I reach a point of truth inside. I
know I can trust this place which is a place of sweet surrender and assuredness. My
mind, body and emotions align with my spiritual nature. Inevitably, there comes this
push to express from that place through writing songs and releasing them as albums to
share with others."
Donna has studied songwriting with Buddy Kaye, Charles John Quarto, and Annette
Tucker. In 1978 she won the "Most Meaningful Songwriters Contest" created and hosted
by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. Donna has written hundreds of songs
producing 4 albums, one in the 70's, one in the 80's, and released 2 CD's, one in 2000
and one in 2001. She completed her 5th album in 2004 while living in Hawaii. Donna's 6th album completed in 2005 is now available.

Prolific, Solid, Folk Fusion
author: Faith Harding
This CD is filled with some of my favorites by Donna and some songs I haven't heard until I listened to "Holding Diego". "Why Life" is a question we all ask and love is really all we have. "Compassionate Rain" is a bittersweet song that stays with me. "Jungle Bungalow" is about life on Kauai and one of my favorites by Donna! "Dancing With The Muse" has a bossa nova flavor and a nice surprise! You are as good as the folks you surrond yourself with Janie, Bill, Thomas and Manda are certainly the parts that equal the resonant sound on this album with Donna.
