TO CONTINUE MY SERIES OF INTERESTING PEOPLE: SIR TIM RICE

Appreciative of nature, he is a man with a dog first, and afterwards a talented wit and champion of music.  His abilities stretch far and wide. With an Academy Award, A Globe and many others this man is understated,very easy going and good company.
