    I lost my best bud today. My 4mo. old white german shepherd. He got run over and it broke my heart. He used to howl like a wolf when I played Justin's songs. Now I'll hear him howl in my mind whenever I play his songs. This one and Quoth the Raven helped me overcome the sorrow I am feeling tonight. Thank you very much Justin for the balm to my soul!🎸😎

      @Lv11 thank you. My "peace " comes from God Himself but Justins music is like a balm for what ails ya. He plays from the heart and his talent is from God who created music in the first place. What makes my dog Icebear's death so sad is, i saw the potential he had and he woulda been the best german shephard i ever had. He was so smart that he learned the commands in german and at only 4 mos. Everytime i hear justin play itll be a memorial to Icebear!

You are the only ones who specialize in it... with eagles, broken-down Chevrolet trucks, some cacti, intense heat, and a gun.Let me express my love for this culture and let's not forget the beans in the old wooden restaurants or when someone stands on the road and waves his hand at a Ford truck and then it doesn't stop for him 😂. I will never forget these moments... The truck passes by and he looks at it, blue as the sky, and that slightly cracked road... Oh, how wonderful, how amazing.
