| Repertoire: |
Based on my new album,
"Donovan Songs" a whole CD of songs written by Donovan.
It features 13 songs,everything from a couple of the big hits he had in
the 60s such as Mellow Yellow and Catch the Wind to lesser known songs
such as The Ferryman Daughter, Sand and Foam, Voyage to the Moon and
plenty of others from his various albums.
The songs are played in a gentle Donovan style on guitars, bass, fiddle,
viola, whistles, mandolins and recorders.
