Merry Christmas to you pal. I passed by the Orange Lantern tonight, and i remember when we played there--i miss you, and think of you often-- Rest In Peace! Tony Senatore
I remember first knowing Lance as a kid, watching SPACE GHOST with my dad. and i always loved the music,and lance was a huge part of that..to think years later when my dad met someone whos name was Lance Carter..and to us he was
THE Lance Carter,im proud to say i got to know this person, and found him to be kind spirited and down to earth, basicly a great guy..
im truely glad to have known such a genuine, talented, nice man.
all of us whos life he effected will never forget him
and his music will stand as memorial for all time so noone will..
Lance was as jovial and good hearted a person as there ever could be. I, and all The Trakes have missed him in the past year or so, and now we will mis him more than ever.
Lance, make sure to teach Bonham a thing or two when you're up there, good buddy. The next time I'm laying it down, I'll think of you.
