New!! Are
you a Giver? Courtney is! ( Here's Courtney
who
flew into California from Manhattan to help Bill n Becky at their
Namm booth in January 2008!) Also, she is volunteering at Mt
Sinai Hospital in New York City working with sick children who
have cancer. Courtney told me about a program where the children
can chart their treatment by making beaded necklaces and bracelets.
Each bead stands for a particular part of their program to help
cure their cancer. Courtney was informed that the main benefactor
is a woman whose child she lost to cancer, but she saw how much
pleasure this activity gave to her child while undergoing treatment
at Mt. Sinai. Instead of becoming bitter about her terrible loss,
this woman makes sure that other children, who are suffering with
cancer and fighting it the best they can, will appreciate the same
joy and sense of accomplishment her child gained from this simple
activity. This nameless, faceless woman is my hero -- and so is
Courtney! (Wouldn't it be nice if we could bring the curing effect
of music to these children... I'm open to suggestions from you folks
living in NYC!)

Duke Danger
Meet our good friend Duke. He's the one who can take credit that
he started this whole Bill n' Becky thing -- Duke brought Bill to
me in Marietta, Georgia. I guess you could say he was our matchmaker.
Bill and Duke met years earlier through a mutual friend - the incredible
Jerry Lee Lewis! Not only is Duke a great guy, he's a mighty fine
musician too. Just this year in 2007, he received numerous Grammy
Award nominations for "If It Ain't One Thing It's Another",
and there's a sound clip posted on his website too. Duke is currently
living in the Netherlands and is married to the lovely Karna. When
you contact Duke, be sure to let him know that Bill n' Becky said
"Howdy" from the USA!
Warwick
&
Framus
Here are two websites that are a must-see! The history between
Bill and Framus is well-established. Fred Wilfer, who started Framus
in the late 40's, was a great influence to Bill. Their friendship
extends today with Fred's son, Hans Peter Wilfer, who successfully
runs both Warwick and Framus.
