Hawaii

Sister Lori and Husband Pete have returned from their stay in Japan. I met them in Oahu, Hawaii to welcome them back and to take a short vacation myself.
Although air travel has become such a hassle these days we did have a few lovely days at Lanakia beach.







The Lanakia rowing teams trained every afternoon and did sprints which were great fun to watch.
We also got a chance to go out and paddle with a local who had a canoe, did a couple of short hikes and mostly chilled.

In the JAM ROOM

Danielle Howle recently asked me to play percussion on a movie soundtrack she is producing for "The Four Children of Tander Welsh" a film by Ashlon Langley.



In a couple of short sessions at The Jam Room with Jay engineering we layed down I think 6 tracks of jembe and dun dun rhythms.


I had a great time playing and look forward to hearing the final product.


Danielle is also working with me on a couple of other projects. I'm hoping to use some of her music in my 701 Whaley doc and she will be producing a song about washing hands for my DHEC/ETV client.
LOVE THAT GIRL! SHE ROCKS!

The Beach, The Beach, The Beautiful Beach

Ahhhh, the beach....

Melissa & I have been going to Folly for many years and she was there for most of the week.

I love the beach. Especially Folly Beach. "The Edge of America"


Rented a house for a week in June and several folks came to visit.
Deb came down along with the teenage guys.











































Love that view!



Mel, Kellane, Emily & I went on a kayak tour in the marsh and saw lots of wildlife.



Karen and Tom made it for a night and we visited our now favorite place 11 Center Street for dinner.
(We ate there 3 nights while there) The first night we walked in and they were playing Steely Dan and Kellane said "This is your kind of place mom!".


Yes, Indeed.
