Handbell Traveler

The life and times of Danny Lyons. This is mainly so my family can keep up with me and see pictures as I put them up.

Bells "in hand"


Here's Danny right after the bells arrived.

Alexander -- alias Sasha -- and I had a great rehearsal tonight. Things are still a little rough around the edges but it's going to come together OK.







And here's part of a poster on the board at the music school and something that we don't get to see very often. I really wanted them to have posters about me and handbells posted all over town, but, alas, it is not to be. I think I'll get Dorian to make up a poster for me to bring home. For that matter, I could just do it myself after I get home. Who would know if the Serbian was correct or not? Hmmm. Something to ponder.
