mfuqua23 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 WOW! WOW WOW. Jeff Townes is a genius. This could be just the words every unsigned, lost hope artist could be told. This has created such a clearer picture that I've been tryna see for months. The unfortunate thing tho, is not everybody is gonna get to read this that needs it. I guess the ball is bounced your way when it's your time to handle it, and make a play. (bball talk :smart: :2thumbs:) I've got an even bigger respect for Jeff after reading this. Every bit of this has been a help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Tiger Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Oh, that was the day Jeff let me use his computer- you should see what I told Jill Scott to do. JP, that was a good read. God Blessa! Edited December 15, 2006 by Silver Tiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
