[Dynagroove] try something different: Terrence Parker Thursday

[Amy Ricketts]

I know Terrence quite well and one thing I know for sure is that in
contrast to what you said, he would NEVER try to "force his new found love
for Christianity on the rest of us."

I wish that more people could just hear the music and appreciate it
without trying to judge HIM, because trust me, he's not judging you.

Words to ponder,
Amy
