Congratulations Mr Slayton
Congratulations Mr Slayton. A well deserved honor for all of the investments you have made in so many people over the years. I absolutely enjoyed my time in ” The Showband of the South ” Job well done.
Congratulations Mr. Slayton! I’d give anything to know a quarter of what you know about music. For awhile, music classes were the only reason I went to school, lol. What an inspiration those classes were.
