@Percussion - 290 Donnie Johns

Episode 29 with Donnie Johns Besides keeping an active teaching and performing schedule in the DC area, Donnie Johns also coordinates both the DMV percussion and music academy. We initially reached out to Donnie to talk about a short, yet very concise, article he wrote for PAS last Fall titled "The Percussionist as Entrepreneur". This is a topic that has come up several times over the last year with other guests, so it was nice to hear Donnie’s perspective, insight and additional comments on the subject. - - - - The Percussionist as Entrepreneur - - - - 2 Free months of Primephonic with promo code: BLACKSWAMP http://bit.ly/PrimephonicVC - - - - Connect with Donnie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/donnie.johns.54 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donnyjameson/  DMV Music Academy https://www.dmvpercussion.org/ https://www.facebook.com/dmvpercussion/  BSP 2021 Percussion Ensemble Showcase http://bit.ly/PercEnsShowcase  Music from this episode Tim Adams - "Here We Go Again": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwYr3HxVMa0 Joe W.
