John Barnes...RIP
It was a shock when I learned of this this morning. I had done business with John on a few things and he was always a pleasure to do business with. Always freindly and his passing will leave a big hole in the Denver audio market.

Gruv Glide

Could this be the next Frank Sinatra?
The kid shows some promise, he has a good tonality to his voice. He needs to develop more emotion and hopefully as he ages he doesn't lose what he has now. As we age our voice changes and he may just be in a short window of the best he has to offe...
