About Donna . . .
“Donna gets it all right. I suspect that the general level of fiddle knowledge and playing will take a major uptick soon after this book is published, just as other great music books such as Earl Scruggs’ original banjo book, O’Neill‘s great Irish fiddling reference, and the infamous jazz Real Book influenced the course of musicians’ lives and work.” Darol Anger in his introduction to Donna’s 2007 Fiddling Demystified for Strings
“Her fiddle speaks fluent français!” Scott Alarik, NPR’s Hear & Now
