Lane Davies singing

09/17/2004

We already had the chance to discover Lane Davies as a singer, however we ignored that he was planning to reiterate the expérience ! In 1989, Lane made himself being heard in many variety shows on the French television with his song All I Need. A little success we thought would never have any continuation.

And here is that during a chat with his fans on his official website, the actor announced to be in contact for a new album with... some Russian producers ! This album could be composed of Christmas songs, but nothing is confirmed for the moment yet.

Lane Davies and Nancy Lee Grahn forces attention on the web

09/01/2004

Two new sites arrived on the web these last weeks : Nancyfan.com : A Nancy Lee Grahn Website and Lane Davies Online. As their name indicate it, each of them is dedicated to one of the interpreters of one of the mythical couples of the show, Julia and Mason. The first one proposes many informations on Nancy Lee Grahn, rather based on her present topics, and proposes many clips to download. The second one, about Lane Davies, is more a site of videos. They both come to complete a nice series of sites already centred on these two actors. But are doing the fans of Robin Mattson, A Martinez or Todd McKee ?
