As you might guess from this picture of one of my first times meeting Carolyn Dawn Johnson (along with two of my kids, Zack and Steph) I've known Carolyn for more than a few years! lol I think this would have been around 2000-2001. Anyway, I've been a fan of hers since the very first day I heard her sing! So glad she's still at it! This time giving a look at someone who is responsible for a large part of her career.
