hi jason. how are you ?last nigth performance was the best.i have a suggestion.collide by howie day should be a perfect song for you.thanks and god bless and goodluck.
Jason, think about doing something by Jack Johnson. His style and songs would suit you well!!
I thought Jason did a fantastic job with this song – even though every time I hear it I now think of photographer’s websites. It seems every photographer I know has this as the song playing during their slide show!!
The day belongs to you, dear Jason. Don’t be afraid – with your usual self-confidence & dynamism, you are in the best position to have head start in the competition tonight. Your nature will be in control of your actions. Lastly, you can rest assured that this period in time will be a favorable one for you. What more could you ask for? God bless you, Jason.
