I’d been following Diana on Instagram for awhile.  She’s not only busy working a full time job, but she also creates stunning coffee paintings, curates a YouTube channel ‘diggininthecr8‘ where she talks about records, and blogs for Vinyl of the Day. I thought she’d be a great addition to the Women in Vinyl blog because we all…
