Dolan's Original Songs
Song of Spring
(This song description was provided by
Dr. Lloyd Duvall, President, Sierra Vista Symphony, as written in the
program notes for Dolan's appearance with the Symphony on April 15,
2005)
For more than thirty years, Dolan has crisscrossed
Arizona’s
mountains and deserts in one of his succession of trusty Jeeps, logging
more than a million miles of Arizona travel. “One of my most
treasured memories of all this travel is the beauty of the Sonoran
desert in the spring. The display of wildflower colors after a rainy
winter is breathtaking.”
With our ample rainfall this winter, the spring wildflower display
has been another work of natural beauty. Song of Spring celebrates
this beauty in both words and music. It is a fitting tribute to our
desert surroundings and the blessings that nature has provided for
us.
Dolan has made "Song
of Spring"
available as a greeting card, complete with the same slide show of
his original photography that he uses when he presents the song on
stage.

shows.
