Dar, that Emotions joint almost made the cut. I forget what I dropped it for. This joint fit on an 80 minute CD though… burn for your friends!

Yeah, Thomas, I was waiting for someone to notice that.

@Deez – Are you making fun of Tevin Campbell? lol I know it may seem out of place, but his version of O Holy Night is my fav.
