Palm Springs, CA, July 4th, 2001, Angel's Stadium.
With
assorted dignitaries and political officials in attendance, an estimated
record breaking crowd cheered on as 'Di' powers home the spirits of
Patriotism with her new stirring single 'Remembrance' at the 2001 July
4th Fireworks Concert in Palm Springs, California.
Her power and range were heard for over 1 square
mile of downtown Palm Springs during one of the most dramatic Fireworks
displays in the nation.
A special invitation was sent to President Bush
and his family to attend but the President had to send his regards due
to heavy prior commitments. Little did anyone realize that the prophetic
overture of 'Remembrance' would be heavily slammed home on September
11th, a day that will go down in the annuls of history. Remembrance
was produced to honor those who have given their all for our country
and Di's deep emotion and Patriotism comes out in this song like the
emotions and energy from those of the Woodstock and Vietnam era, such
as the Janis Joplins', Jimmy Hendrixs' and Alvin Lees' of the past.
Directed by Greg Heir, the Patriotic
event proved to be a catalyst to bring back the Patriotic spirit of
yesteryear and correct, if even for this one night, a seemingly eroding
spirit of Patriotism in our country today.
"The likes
of todays' female artists will probably have to move over when this
girl gets going", says Bob Schott, Executive Producer for Platinum
Blues Music, Di is simply just too powerful and dynamic of a performer
for the processed and homogenized stars of today, that the record labels
clone, press and shove out there. I've seen them all, and she just has
them beat hands down. She's not singing someone elses lyrics to someone
elses music, that's played by burnt out studio musicians, like so many
others. Di brings back the raw emotion, energy and power of the stars
of what many call, the era when real music gave way to technical pasteurization.
I remember seeing an interview with Carlos Santana once, the interviewer
was asking him some pointed technical questions, his reply impressed
me and really calls it like it 'was', not is today. Hs comment went
something like this...("Look, we didn't even know what a bar chord
was then, what you heard was sheer emotion, coming from deep inside.")
This is a very accurate description of Di, the foundation of her sheer
power, energy and range was built from the trauma she suffered from
her past." By the way, her emotion and power are matched only by
her 'humbleness' and heart of gold. That same emotion is evident when
you hear 'Remembrance'. Since these are not her statements, I am able
to offer them here for all to read about.

"As
a musical mentor for the youth of America I
would hope and pray in some small way that the innovative lyrical
concept in our song Remembrance helps heal wounded spirits and
provides a beacon for young people to continue to believe, not
giving up hope and stay on a positive course of \determination
for their own dreams." |
.
"My
greatest desire is to win hearts in need of sound motivational
living, strengthening the desire to
develop skills to endure and the will to see their dreams
become reality by building a positive musical bridge away from
a life of crime and self destruction and a clear path to their
goals." |
