Carol Connors and Dawn Secord Painting: "CC's Music *NLyrics" Two time Oscar nominated songwriter, Carol Connors, is pictured with a painting of herself and her two Abyssinian cats (MUSIC *NLYRICS) along with artist, Dawn Secord. Dawn painted "CC" and her two beautiful Abyssinian boys. The painting was unveiled during a Bow Wow Party at the five star Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills which was hosted by Linda and March Schwartz for their precious pooch, Shanghai, to celebrate his first barkday. Carol performed her new song, "Unconditional Love, Unconditionally", which is the theme song of PetSMART CHARITIES and was conceived as a tribute to her beloved Abyssinian, M the Wonder Cat. |
