hi.

Today I hope to make my point in (a lousy)

3 hours & 12 minutes...if you can spare the time [:-)

Be sure to get the whole thing,

'cause you know:

if it ain't got that swing...

it don't mean a thing [:-)

Be safe, be well, & be all the good you can be...

Hope this mix can jazz you folks up a bit,
