I’m almost finished listening to the recordings made at this year’s Bhakti Fest, and I’m happy to let you know that Donna De Lory’s great set at this year’s festival will be our podcast for next week. As a companion to that show I thought you might enjoy a re-run of a conversation I had with Donna in May 2013. Please enjoy, and until next week my friends — Namaste.

 A Conversation With Donna De Lory

Donna De Lory loves to dance — on stage she is a whirling dervish, literally dancing through her entire set. Her harmonium is on a stand, so she never has to sit down. It’s also a kinesthetic activity for the listener, because it’s impossible to watch her and not want to dance too. Raised in show business, she was a background singer and dancer for Madonna for almost 20-years — that’s six international tours. Our conversation last week covered a lot of ground — Madonna, George Harrison, her Dad’s illness & death. After all these years of listening to her music it was wonderful to have the chance to get to know her better. She’s playing at 7:30 this Friday at Shakti Fest, and if you can’t be there in person you can join us through the miracle of live audio-streaming. Just click here to sing with us in Joshua Tree this weekend. Next time from the Bhav! Namaste my friends.
