When my wife Karla and I turned 50 a few years ago, we celebrated with a huge birthday party.

This seemingly insignificant gathering started a trend in our family...
The next year, my sister Mary (I call her Sis), turned 50 and relatives and friends from all over the US attended her birthday party in Missouri...
This pattern has continued for several years now and has recently passed its baton to the 4th child in the Lefty and Ida Mae Seyer family.
Jane has been planning her 50th birthday party for a couple years now...
It was held at the Oran Missouri Knights of Columbus hall located just across Highway 77 from my parents house.

Music Production
Some have asked what I use for a vocal pre amp. I use a 1950's vintage RCA BC-2b which has been modified by me with a different front end and outputs. It still uses the 12AY7 tube, but the critical feature of the pre amp is the transformers. You MUST use the...
