Sad to hear about Jessi from Those Darlins as well

Harry Harrison!! HHDYDTY!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Wed. 9/20/17 11:11pm JakeGould:

Sheila B is the one DJ I always recommend to friends and they always thank me for that. But let’s face it… She’s now Harry Harrison! Now this guy… He makes A.M. radios melt with that voice.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Wed. 9/20/17 11:12pm JakeGould:

I meant, “She’s NO Harry Harrison!” I hope she has not turned into Harry Harrison.
