      Whoa...Reading your comment.. literally..sent a chill down my spine..That feeling is wonderful and fleeting and can only happen once with that person. The next great feeling is when you share and witness the birth of a child that you and that person created together.

    All Tiny Desk Concerts sound amazing, but Ro James' Tiny Desk Concert sounds better than the albums studio version--especially 'You already knew that"
    If he could stop smoking weed and preserve his voice, he will have some staying power and be able to perform live well into his 60's like POP/Rock icons Bruce, Elton John and Billy Joel...
