In this week’s Layer By Layer GO!, Don reminds us that imitation might teach the basics—but authenticity makes the music. 🎙️
From Debbie Harry’s raw charisma to David Byrne’s fearless originality, this episode dives into what it really means to find your own tone in songwriting, cooking, and life.

Don also shares a rich, classic French Coq au Vin recipe—mushrooms, bacon, red wine, the whole symphony—and ties it all together with journaling prompts to help you uncover your truest creative voice.

So pull up a chair, grab your favorite notebook, and let’s stir up something real.
