Review by Paul R.:

“If music be the food of life, play on. Give me excess of it”.  The quote from
 Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (Act I, scene 1) is cliched, but it does capture
 the vibe of a very special Thursday evening at Shakori Hills.  Special because
 the Thursday festival opener has lost none of its magic after the Covid-driven
 hiatus.  Special to be among dear friends and family again.  Special because
 Donna the Buffalo delivered another fine performance with an interesting set
 list.  Special because despite overcast skies, humid air, and stray sprinkles,
 the rain held off.  “It’s a New Day” was the perfect opener.  (I had predicted
 “These Are Better Days” but close enough.)  I have landed on “Having You Close
 to Me” as a working title for what I called “Your Heart Beating Close to Mine”
 in my review of Donna’s June 11, 2021 performance at Shakori Hills.  Whatever
 the songwriter eventually decides to call it, his creation is pleasing to the
 ear and fun to experience.  The jam in “It’s Just Me” took a bit to crystalize
 but was intricate and fascinating.  Tara debuted  what Purple John and I
 agreed to call “Sitting on Top of the World”.  “My, my, my, we’re always
 working for the good of us all  My, my, my, we’re always sitting on top of the
 world.”  At least we believe it to be a debut.  Whatever the case, this
 creation and  “Just Like You” are strong additions to the Donna catalogue.
 You are always going to have a good time with “Blue Sky,” but it is what I
 call a set piece.  Its re-imagining this evening definitely caught my
 attention and was well beyond routine interest.  “O spirit of love! how quick
 and fresh art thou” (Shakespeare, loc. cit.)

Respectfully and hastily submitted (it’s a work day),

Paul R. (aka EstimatedProf)
