Growing Up Army

Donna is proud to announce the release of her sixth CD, "Growing Up Army". There are many ways to grow up in America. Some people grow up in the North and some people grow in the South, some grow up in the city or country and some people grow up in Suburbia. Donna grew up in an army family with two sisters, four brothers, an Alsatian Shepherd, a toy poodle, an albino ferret, a mother who could make everybody shut up and sit down with a look, and a six foot four mountain of a career military man who is a cross between Brer Rabbit and the scary guy that makes you cross to the other side of the street!
