It varies, but thank you to the countless people who have shared their gifts and encouragement with me when I had it to give and when I had nothing but my "thank you." You know who you are. That's why I choose you again and again. My "MANAGER" who keeps me grounded, helps me maintain the integrity and righteous consciousness of the music and the ministry...Donna Allen... I don't have the words.
