So far our stay in Idaho has been a great blessing of both getting much needed rest, as well as making some new friends!

One of the first places we visited was McCall, Idaho. What a nice drive to get there.

On the way up we went by way of Cascade, another town worth visiting in the area, and spent a few days up in McCall. Continue reading “BIT 40”

Hello everyone,

We’ve been back home in Costa Rica for a while now, and have been very busy.

Showing off my D-6 to the guys.
Backing up Rick for a song.

Before we flew back to Costa Rica the first week of March, we met with some friends at a Cracker Barrel for lunch. While waiting for them to arrive, I took out my banjo and sat in one of the rockers and played. That turned out to be a great way to draw a crowd and meet some very nice people.  Continue reading “BIT-38”

This was my first time attending!  And like I said in my last BIT, it’s kind of like a dream come true to go as an Artist! Continue reading “BIT-37”

BIT 20 – April 23 2008

Here I am again on TV-45!

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.  The last few weeks have been very intense.  Unfortunately, two days after I wrote my last BIT, on April 6th a dear friend of mine, Buck Buchanan, passed away.  He was like my 2nd Dad… I’ll sure miss him.

The TV interview at “The Good Life TV 45” went well.  It turned out that It was the very first Spanish program that they had ever done!  The program went well and It was nice to be back there again. Continue reading “BIT-20”
