We have never met face-to-face. This was an interesting interview. I hope listeners make a connection to him as I have with @benfoy 

His self bio is Wannabe photographer/ daydreamer. Not just abandoned stuff 🙄 ^cripplingly self aware^- I think after this interview, we have more than photography and music in common. Fighting a step back with an unfortunate illness and making changes can be things people may not see, yet be an inspiration.

you will find her playing three times at Clarksdale's 2022 Juke Joint Festival.
She does love Delta Blues and acoustic music and her third CD is her first that
she has written and is exploding internationally. This interview is different. I thought
I didn't get the interview, then I had an email asking ,"how is the interview going?" It was
the week before Christmas. I was lucky to talk to Donna and see her band play and 
write for BluesMatters. I met deadline. Sadly this is Blues, the creator and editor
of the magazine had waited 4 years for a knee replacement died a little later. We
all live the Blues and live each day to fullest. Like that, Donna and her husband went on 
a date at a Blues concert and it was a connection that continues with them playing together.

Blues Artist Luscious Spiller. You don't hear it in the interview because of time, but he 
is a man that says we all need to come tougher no matter Blue, Red, blah blah and be one.
Music unites and y'all need to remember that. It's inspirational. If you get a chance to hear
him play live, you will hear be amazed. We are all unique but one on the stage. I think that's
how he looks at playing and how he looks at life.  Enjoy. And I hope you come back for more episodes.
