But she'd still probably be pretty impressed. Diana has used her acting skills and her wild imagination to build a career as a screenwriter and producer, writing for everything from national podcasts to her own animated series. I am so jealous!

Like a well oiled machine, that “in the pocket” groove, which only comes from years of experience playing together. Line Drive has performed with major label acts including Grover Washington Jr, Tower of Power, Phoebe Snow, Spyro Gyra, Noel
