Donni-Jay's Music and MP3s

Getting back to the CD info, I shall be regularly adding MP3's of songs, standards and originals, recorded by my husband drummer, Rocky and myself. I play electric and acoustic guitars, sing lead as well as harmonies. I used to be a keyboard player and am trying to revise the piano, so that I can put down passable tracks on our music. ( I play two types of boogie, which my father taught me. He was a multi-instrumentalist with a band called 'the Blue Rockets.) Our music will give enjoyment, but will not as yet, be the outcome of the total exciting sound, which will soon be realized.

As my musician friends pop by to add their input to my MP3 songs, we shall keep updating them. Gradually you will hear the complete sound that I envisage;

{A mix of Bonny Raitt, Dana Gillespie, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Nina Simone, Koko Taylor, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Blues Brothers, The Commitments, Rolling Stones, Wynona Judd and Emmy Lou Harris.}

If I get decent feedback from y'all, we will burn our 'duo type' CD's and put them for sale on this site. As soon as possible snippets of videos with me performing these songs, sometimes dancing to them will be added.

We've come upon some talented musician singer songwriters who have asked for us to sell their CD's on my site. I am happy to do this and shall choose those that I know will be very popular. In this way you will be able to buy some good music here from all genres, and for all ages. (No 'RAP'or 'musak')

I perform and like Blues, Country ballads, {Not the type that put people to sleep, or make them suicidal} Country/Southern rock, Rockabilly, Soul, Jazz, Reggae and of course, Rock & Roll. I'm interested in promoting these styles of music also.

Our aim is to be fair in this game which is unusual, and perhaps unprecendented. The goal is to launch new talent, NOT to exploit it. It is also to produce entertainment for a market that is not being catered for. The music industry is keeping so many talented people out, just because of their age. Some of these entertainers have so much to offer and I will see they are not wasted. That is why my company was created last year in the USA.

Those who are in with us from the beginning, including sponsors, and certainly those who impress us, will be considered for recording contracts. This website has been lauched worldwide and we are making connections with television and radio in the US and UK.

I may, or may not take off big here in the States, but my aim is in making sure those with real talent are not left by the roadside. Working within my company, promoting others, is my main ambition and delight.
