Being in LA means two things to me; first and foremost I have opportunities to visit with my children and loved ones; second, to assimilate myself into the world of music. This time around I found myself in the studio recording some original tunes and some covers. A wonderful little place in Silverlake has produced some very nice sounds including my remake of It Only Hurts When I Cry. Will keep you updated on the progress.
The landmark, Amoeba Records in Hollywood is presenting a new project called Where the Action Is featuring my husband’s friend Phil Sloan and singer/songwriter Jackie DeShannon. I will be attending and saying hi to friends.
This morning I went online to check out the new project Beck is recording. The first of these spontaneous first-take performances is based on Lou Reed and Velvet Underground; very cool. In progress next is Leonard Cohen. Check out www.beck.com
My mind takes me to politics and what a mess we’re in. Seems like music makers may just be the light at the end of the tunnel.

Dear Donna,
Am enjoying your new CD “Magic”. I play it so much, I may wear it out! With all the turmoil going on in our world these days such as wars and suffering, your CD is a wonderful escape to settle my nerves. Love, Diane
