If Music Could Talk

Happy birthday, Stef. We've sparred quite a bit, but you're always willing to give me time, which I genuinely appreciate. And not to forget, we're both very passionate about the clash and I I admire your work helping spread the next wave of remasters/improved sources/etc. I hope you have/had a pleas...
