📝 EPISODE DESCRIPTION

A heartfelt reflection on what it truly means to love as you live — and love in the end.

In this soothing, gently humorous episode, Don shares the story behind his 1993 song “And In The End,” recorded in his Santa Ana, California home studio while still writing and performing with his band Eden from St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. The track, a hypnotic “Hey Jude”-style finale from his album Inspirations, reminds us that love isn’t something we save for later — it’s something we practice every day.
