Living with the Wildlife
Our house is a very open house, very basic but comfy in this jungle climate. The ceiling is open all the way to the roof tiles and the windows (no screens) and doors are generally open creating a very, well, open atmosphere. We’ve had visitors of all sorts. Wildlife; frogs, butterflies, geckos, skinks, and several…
Paris, Trip to the Louvre
Can you imagine? We lived in France for over 5 years visiting Paris many times and never went to the Louvre. I know that’s ridiculous but we were always living on the edge financially. So, now that we are on our “Lance & Donna Europe 2018 Friends Tour” we thought we probably ought to take…

One Night in Birmingham
In the late 70’s I got a job with S.I.R. (Studio Instrument Rentals) in Nashville. My main job was to cart drums that we stored for some of the best drummers in Nashville to their studio gigs ahead of time and set them up. I had to learn exactly how these drummers liked their setup…
