yea I've been to the website. I linked to it from my blog at DaLyricalMiracle. blogspot. com and I tried to download some things just to listen to but for some reason it wasn't working.
Hey jon. Just posted about you on my blog. Now I'm finally hearing Jon outside of the silly kids songs. I like it, has a lot of depth to it. Not like the kids songs aren't great! But its cool to take that step deeper into the artist as an individual. How are things though?
Jon!!! I am really felling everything here. I would actually like something like the race as well. Hit me up when you get a chance. See you wednesday regardless. Peace.
