CSB...when I was working at Camelot Music at Baybrook mall, back when music stores were a thing, Stevie B came into our store one day. Cool guy. Down to earth. Very unassuming. Freestyle is my wife's category. Hard pass.
hard pass? You don’t bump music with bass in the whip? What is your musical genre of choice ? Something with ukulele in it?
You went and brought TImmy T into it. I was going to, anyway. Timmy is a hero and a proud old EV driver now : My GOD, he even breaks up fights!
