My parents for pas...sing on their DNA (happy Father's Day dad). Samuel Corbin Eddie Johnson Duvone Stewart for all your physical and moral support. It's been a great ride so far. BIG thanks to all the haters as Thomas Edison needed the NEGATIVE to make the bulb light and in order for a picture to be developed you need the NEGATIVE. Steelpan keeping up with technology.The tones sounds very authentic. We did a lot of experimental work with sampling it's paying of now.
