912: Diana Zimmerman - The Enchantress

Diana Zimmerman is an enchanting woman in every sense of the word: personality, charm, abilities, looks, intelligence, skill, and so much more. She has led a life of magic like few other women. And she is being recognized for her achievements by being inducted to the Los Angeles Times Global Magicians Hall of Fame on July 9th, 2025. Married at 19 to Dick Zimmerman, magician and creative genius, she performed around the world on television and stage with her one-woman performance. She traveled with a giant gramophone then later switched to a thumb tie and pick pocketing. She developed and still works with the Magic Castle Junior Program (which just celebrated their 50th year) and is the author of several books of fantasy. But she also authored the definitive collector’s edition of the Siegfried and Roy book.

Diana has so many stories that she shares with us this week including her early days working with her then-husband, Dick Zimmerman, then how Cary Grant encouraged her to form the junior program at the Magic Castle, and many stories about the late Siegfried and Roy. She was a close confidant to the illusionists and shares some “behind the scenes” stories from Little Bavaria to “the Incident” that ended their Las Vegas run.

Matthew O'Neill - Ancestors Wheel (Indie Rock)

🕑 1 min / Text: Adrian Release Date: 27/09/24   Another talented American act is Matthew O'Neill – his latest album “Ancestors Wheel” just popped up on my radar. You know, when it comes to indie rock, I'm very picky, but trust me, as a huge fan of experimental guitar music, I can tell you that the overall vibe of the 13 tracks is definitely unique. They feature washed-out riffs, virtuoso solos, amazing flanger, phaser, and chorus effects, as well as captivating instrumental parts. I also really enjoyed the psychedelic vocal textures and the meaningful songwriting the album has to offer. So trippy, so groovy, so good! Give it a listen! You can find out more about Matthew O'Neill on Spotify and Instagram: Stream: https://open.spotify.com/track/1F21bTAp5K1idJv6LMqQ3a Follow: https://www.instagram.com/matthewoneillmusic ✔️ Available on our Indie Playlist on Spotify.
