Happy Friday Drivers!
Welcome to this week’s Drive!
Wanted to start out by giving a shout out to everyone affected by this past Saturday’s storm my heart goes out to everyone affected and I hope things are getting back to normal.
On today's show we'll be diving deep into some jazz-funk-afro-caribbean grooves taking the tempo up as we go and attempting to climax before the two hours are up.
Thank you all for taking the time and hope you enjoy the ride!
