Re: Tour Start Tonight enjoy at Sunny Lincoln.

Re: Dark Matters - Second Thoughts

Well I'm still listening to it. Every week when I walk my dogs. I walk the dogs 7 times a week. 'nuff saudy. Breathe is still my favourite. Love JJ"s reflective lyrics on Lines and Down. Baz has come into his own on this album. Superb vocal delivery. And his songs are the best imho. Love the a...
