About Me |
|
| Donna Lynn Caskey was born singing and hasn't quit yet. She grew up on the coast of Virginia where her family and the record bin at the library fueled her love of music. While attending college in the Blue Ridge, her appreciation of old-time music grew into a passion; she bought herself a banjo for graduation. She eventually learned to play the thing and before long was writing songs, too. Donna also serves as a social worker for people with disabilities.
