Good Ole Dona

Personally I never had much of a problem with Donna in the old days.
But I do remember lots of dead heads saying "I hope donna doesn't sing to much
tonight" while going into the shows. I think what was stated earlier is true...things
got so loud on stage that she couldn't hear herself properly. That's essential for a
background singer. I'm glad to see her back on the scene, looking well and having a good time.

Donna & the Dead '70's

My 1st show was summer 1970, and from there I heard a lot of Donna. To me the band was just that, the band. I took what they gave me, was Grateful and accepted whatever they wanted me to hear, sticking with them through the whole trip. I know folks who wanted Bobby to drop off the face of the Earth, which always confused me too. And as someone said Jerry had her & Keith in a great mix in JGB in the 70's, which I also saw & loved. Remember, this woman was a Muscle Shoals girl, she had a great voice and could really sing. I think they didn't always have her miked right or mixed right, and of course there were those times when she would wail, but I took it all in and loved it all. And believe me I'm a real music bitch. But when it came to the Dead, they could do no wrong. Please continue to enjoy!

I didn't really know an appropriate place to post this, but please keep Donna Jean and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Her mother passed away.
