Does anyone even know who Donovan is?

You cannot answer this if you are over 55. That's cheating!

@Picklebobble2: Wonderful! Thanks for asking. His step grandson, Joolz Jones (the late Brian Jones' grandson) opened the show. He played a lot of songs from 65' and then told funny stories in between. I loved it. My boyfriend bought me a signed Sunshine Superman album at the show. I am going to frame it.

I’m over 55, so I’m not going to directly answer the question. I will say that an interview I had at a Entertainment Law Firm was interrupted for over 20 minutes while my interviewer took a call from Donovan. I ended up not getting the job….but I don’t blame Donovan!
SW-User
@Dragon56: Wow! Really????
DragonFruit · 61-69, M
@Meowsolini: Yes, really….in the middle of the interview, someone popped their head in & said that Donovan was calling from London on Line 1. The interviewer (who was an Entertainment attorney) said he was sorry, but he had to take the call….so I had to wait in another room before finishing the interview.

Mellow Yellow. He was buddies with the Beatles too and contributed to some of their writing.

@hunkalove: I just love him! Hard to imagine how 60's music would have been without his influence. He played a fantastic show last night my friend! Was well worth the 3 1/2 hour drive we made to see him :)

@Meowsolini: I remember the first time I heard "Catch the Wind". It's a song I always did in my musician days. His autobiography is worth reading! Quite a life!
SW-User
@hunkalove: Oh, I didn't realize you were a musician! "Catch the Wind" is one of my favorites, and he played it solo last night, and then did a duet with his step grandson, Joozl Jones. I must pick up a copy of that autobiography! Thanks :)
