"Friends on the Beach" You just never know who you'll run into on the beach! There I was, minding my own business walking on the beach in Jamaica and who did I run into? Yep - from left to right you will find Bobby Lyle, (Me), Marion Meadows, Althea Renee (hiding in the leaves behind me), Chieli Minucci who was obviously overcome by all the excitement and sun, and Bobby's beautiful lady, Beth. [Photo by Ronnie Gazdak.]

To all Althea Renee fans - and those of you who will very soon be Althea Renee fans.... the reason I was on that beach was to do some photos of Althea. It's probably the same reason I had such a big audience, but Althea was quite a sport about it all. Stay tuned for a new release featuring the awesome talent and incredible beauty of Miss Althea Renee.

Bettie Grace has been doing some traveling lately ~ which the wind in her hair in this photo (by Chieli Minucci) reveals. But, she's back in L.A. and will be at some great jazz shows coming up in February & March. Please come say hi and check out some new artwork that she'll have on display!
