| ziakut (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Oct 27, 2010 - 13:20 I like this...but its a tad long/repititious. |
| anotherlistener (outside Bawlmer) | Posted: Oct 27, 2010 - 13:17 This sounds particularly sweet today and I just bumped it up to a 9. |
| gortacleva | Posted: May 21, 2010 - 04:53 I discovered this when someone included it on a mix CD for me. Hearing it never gets old. |

Always wondered why I'd never heard them on even some of the most non-commencial radio stations. Bring more!!! My tired brain read that as "Musket-fest," and I thought, wow, they really like their guns in PA. The old-school kind. Yeah, I need some more coffee. |

| DaveInVA (VA) | Posted: Aug 10, 2009 - 11:40 Not bad for a singing Buffalo |
| Dave_Mack (Five bus, Jive bus!) | Posted: Aug 10, 2009 - 11:38 Hah, I heard Pachelbel in there and thought, "I wonder if anybody else is hearing this..." Thanks for not disappointing me!  |
| cochlear (Kauai, Hawaii) | Posted: Jul 09, 2009 - 19:46 A possible 10, for the strings (and I'm talking fiddle, here) alone ~ WOW. |
| liser (Rancho Gato) | Posted: May 07, 2009 - 08:04 They play twice a year at SpringFest and Magnolia Festival ("MagFest") at Suwannee River Music Park in Live Oak, FL. These are great 3 day music festivals with something for everyone - definitely a big party and a LOT of fun! The Buffalo does the midnight jam and they often play until 2 or 3 in the morning. Check out http://www.magmusic.com/ for more information. |

| steeler (Teetering on the abyss) | Posted: May 07, 2009 - 07:46 Hypnotic quality. I like this band; must get some of its music. |
| mr_toad | Posted: May 07, 2009 - 07:44 pachelbel would be so proud, love it, some crushes last a life time too |
| ThePoose | Posted: May 07, 2009 - 07:42 Wonder how Donna likes being called a buffalo—unless of course she is a buffalo. |

They are from NY (I think near Buffalo). I don't know where the name Donna comes from. The only female in the group is Tara Nevins - lead singer on most of their songs. They call their fans "The Herd".  |
| Welly | Posted: Aug 27, 2008 - 15:31 What a strange name for a band. There must be quite the story behind that one. |
| Jack_Straw (City of Bridges) | Posted: Apr 23, 2008 - 12:00 This is really cool. |

As soon as I heard that violin, Rob's standup routine popped into my head...SOOO funny!

| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Apr 23, 2008 - 11:57 I love this band! This is a really good CD as well. |
| Tana (Lancaster, PA) | Posted: Feb 20, 2008 - 12:31 DTB has been around a long time and they're big fun so if they're in your area, GO. And plan to dance your butt off. |
| Olympus_mons (2nd star to the right) | Posted: Feb 20, 2008 - 12:29 Bit of a chill session isnt it. I like it |
| sdn (Philadelphia) | Posted: Feb 20, 2008 - 12:25 This gets my vote for "best band name of the week".  |
| wferrier (Johnson City, New York; Home of the Factory) | Posted: Dec 19, 2007 - 15:18 I love this band, they are local talent here, along with Mary Lorson (Madder Rose), Slim Redmond, Jennie Sterns, the list goes on. . . I enjoy living in this area for its musical talent. I'm from PA originally and not the same kind of musician grows there. Something is in the water in the southern tier, and even the high schools and churches produce musicians of the highest qualityits sometimes incomprehensible; when DONNA makes their Johnson City run I always go, for a rockin good time. |

| ilibjorn (San Antonio, TX) | Posted: Nov 18, 2007 - 05:05 They rock. Sweet sound. 8 |
| mountainman (Charlottesville, VA) | Posted: Oct 17, 2007 - 20:09 A great album from a great band. The are definately more rockin' tracks than this one on the album - though this is quite sweet. |
| (former member) (Shadow Valley Condos) | Posted: Sep 16, 2007 - 09:51 Pachelbel's Canon in D? That's distracting. |
