Del Shannon interview -- Part 1 of 13

Dawn Eden Goldstein

This is part 1 of an interview that I, Dawn Eden Goldstein, conducted with Del Shannon on May 13, 1989, the night he performed as part of an oldies package concert in Fairfax, Virginia. It was Del's last comprehensive interview. I later wrote up the interview for Goldmine magazine under my pen name Dawn Eden; it was published March 23, 1990. The interview began before Del's performance and continued afterwards. I was as young as I sound -- twenty. All rights to this interview are reserved to Dawn Eden Goldstein and to Del Shannon's estate. To contact Dawn, write dawneden -at- gmail.com (replace -at- with @). Thanks to Michael Mazzarella for digitizing the cassette interview.
