Sounds like Josiah has the same vision as JR has. And has got the MA vision and how we as Dist feel that we have control of our lives. We can dream and make the dreams come true.
Look forward in getting to see Gramfest and all the great artist. And I already know that the Second look band in great with Dennis Franks.
