Time has continued to reinforce the values that were instilled in Dee Long and I by Sir George and the late John Burgess, Dave Harries, Malcolm Atkin, and all of our clients, friends, and colleagues, during our years at AIR Studios on Oxford Street in London.

Best wishes of the season to all of my friends, family and associates! Cheers!

I was reminded of a time, far away, long ago…

A Christmas gift from Toronto Sound Studios to John Jones, from 1976.

Somewhere, lurking on the various pages of my site, are other Christmas messages – like this one from 2001 and another silly one from 2008 with your Christmas card and some lovely Coyote sounds from the Dell.

Although I didn’t make this list of Welsh expats celebrating around the world, I did find an undated photograph of yours truly singing and wearing Y Ddraig Goch t-shirt, many years ago!

Back in Los Angeles after a Memorial day weekend spent in Palm Springs California. Wonderful weather and a great family time, punctuated by Kim’s birthday!

The only casualty of the weekend was my left ear, clogged from driving with the window open and spending too much time in the swimming pool!

Here  are some photos.

1975 meets 1928 - the old Porsche 914 and the old El Mirador Hotel

Today the El Mirador Hotel is the Desert Regional Medical Center . Once it was a magnificent old hotel!

No mystery about California Palm trees or San Jacinto.

A young designer snaps John sunbathing by the pool and covers him up for the photo!

The Harley glasses provide the finishing touch to this artistic portrait of a pool hooligan by a very  young and creative mind.

The old section of Palm Springs along Main Street has always had a sense of humour to go along with it’s kistch!

All the best to Sir George on his 86th birthday!

Here are a couple of shots from inside Studio 5 at AIR Studios on Oxford Street in the 1980s.
