164
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:33.519
eighty seven and they have a daughter. Don Dawcan. He

165
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.159
is still rocking at seventy two years old. Him and

166
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.919
the guys from the band Dowcin. They'll be going on

167
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.480
tour in July twenty sixth Now, Donnie was born in

168
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.159
Los Angeles. You start out in the bat called Airborne

169
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.000
nineteen seventy six. Nineteen seventy eight he got to changed

170
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.559
their name to Dawkin. Some of their headstarre dream War years.

171
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.480
In my dreams you just got lucky breaking the chains.

172
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.519
It's not love. Now he's released a couple of solo albums,

173
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.399
but when he reaches those he goes by Don Dawkin.

174
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.039
So that's a big difference between the band Dowkin. He

175
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.000
didn't have to split the money that way. He has

176
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.759
one daughter right all that where.

177
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:17.879
If you hang outside, don't come in around And.

178
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.240

182
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.919
how they got their name or anything like that. They

183
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.399
didn't have a name. When they showed up to play

184
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.080
their first gig. They said who are you? And we're

185
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:41.679
