BIT 12 – July 17, 2007

Hello all,

Not much happening here since my last BIT… We’ve been pretty busy with visitors from the States so I’ve not had the time for practice or for doing gigs lately.  Also my mom got pretty sick here, and between trying to take care of her, until the doctor could stabilize her so my dad and I could send her back stateside to recover and get the care she needs with some great friends of ours.  She’s doing much better now, Thank God!

Dad had a guy from Texas come down on a mission trip for 3 weeks.  So dad was pretty busy getting Chris around and I was taking care of my mom.  While Chris was here we also met Continue reading “BIT-12”

Bit 11 – MAY 25, 2007

Greetings from Panama! Since my last post my parents and I had a nice visit to Costa Rica for about a week.  I got to meet a guy, Gary, who was the drummer for the Turtles!  Remember their hit…”Happy Together”?

Of course, he said that hit happened 3 years after he had left the group… bad timing! 🙂  It was still pretty cool to meet him.  It was also nice to see so many of our friends again.  It was a really nice visit.

When we returned, I did a Continue reading “BIT-11”

BIT 9 – February 14, 2007

Well hello again… I hope you’ve all been having as good a time as I’ve had!

I did an opening concert on Dec. 29th in the now being remodelled Boquete Community Theatre in Boquete.  The Boquete Community Players (BCP) leased the space and plan to renovate it and build a stage, etc. so that the community of Boquete can have theatrical, musical and cultural productions and events in an appropriate atmosphere.  The work on this project is really coming along!

I also had the opportunity to play for a group of dignitaries at the Inauguration of the 35th Coffee & Flower Festival in Continue reading “BIT-9”

Buddy's 1st guitar build

Well, sorry for the delay.  To say I’ve been busy lately would not cover it, plus our computer decided it wanted to crash, so that didn’t help any!  The good news is I’ve got plenty to fill you in on!

Also, we moved to Alto Boquete, Panama, but let me back up a little and fill you in…

My guitar was still in progress before our move… I got a little creative, and Continue reading “BIT-8”
