Donovan Elected to 2012 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
It was thrilling news that Donovan was elected yesterday into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and will be inducted at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony on April 14th, 2012. I recently assisted Donovan at his extraordinary Sunshine Superman concert at the Royal Albert Hall on June 3rd. It was such a fabulous evening and Donovan was joined by fellow Hall of Fame member Jimmy Page as his surprise guest. I can’t think of anyone who deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at this moment more than Donovan. Donovan is a beloved friend and is also a great visual artist who Govinda Gallery is honored to represent. Congratulations Donovan and congratulations to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

What is amazing is how long overdue, none the less heartily welcomed, this news is. Donovan is nigh singular in what he has accomplished. Add to that a miraculous voice that has not diminished with time and what a wholly derived newest honor is his inclusion in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Bravo to he and his family, and you Chris, a multiple decade friend and trumpeter!
Sounds like the April event is going to be ‘super-SunShine fun’ for everyone! Congratulations!
This is LOOOOOOOOONG over due. Congrats and best of luck.
Here’s hoping for a wonderful out come
