Steve W Great job!!
I spent some time with Donovan and his wife, Linda, as his daughter Estrella is a friend.
He is a wonderful, mellow, charming gentleman, as I had always hoped!
A lovely family!!
I got to hang with Donovan backstage at a gig in Ottawa, Canada, sometime in the 90s.
He is a lovely, gentle, sensitive gentleman.

Hope to see you next week!
Cheers,
