Sounds great! Keep up the good work.I thought I responded earlier, Derrick and I both enjoyed it. You asked great questions too! ROC took me WAYYY back! I have to agree that a lot of creativity has been lost with sampling and looping music. We grew up as orators but that seems to be lost on this generation. Good job to both of you!
