Don hails from historic Culpeper, VA (a town named after one of the infamous absentee governors of the Virginia colonies, Lord Culpeper, who won the governorship from King George in a poler game....oh, and George Washington slept there, too!).  Don received his B.S. in commerce from the University of Virginia and an M. A. in counseling from Ball State University.  He spent 24 years in the Air Force as an electronic warefare officer (EWO) with flying tours as a B-52 EWO and backseater in the F-4C and F-4G Wild Weasel fighter aircraft, which included a Viet Nam combat tour during the Linebacker 2 operation in 1972.  Don retired as a lieutenant colonel and ran a carpet cleaning franchise for 8 years.  He now is in new product sales and motivational speaking.  By now you've noticed a decided lack of musical training in Don's background -- cause it's not there!  Pretty much got it the hard way on his own (well, we did have to teach him to blow into the little end of his horn...)  Don has played in a number of concert and jazz bands in Ft Walton Beach, FL, and here in San Antonio, TX.  He doubles on the didjeridoo and is a practicing Reiki Master and sound resonance therapist.  Guess he hasn't decided yet what he wants to do when he grows up --  we're just glad he keeps putting air through his horn! 

From parading around in her Grandma's kitchen to Meredith Wilson's "76 Trombones" at the age of 5 to playing joyful music for folks to dance and sing to, now, music has always been a very strong fiber in the tapestry of Jane's life. A wonderful life so far of marriage, momhood(2 sons who are busy now creating great music in their own lives), and helping many young, courageous wee-folks discover and reach their own stars(pediatric physical therapist for the last 27 years). She currently plays with several community and professional bands in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area, and is ALWAYS eager to jam with fellow music(especially traditional jazz)lovers in re-creation. And, she just loves to be playing with the Lamplighters, today.
