Something I Know Nothing About...

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 8 Mar 19

I thought that I would try something a little different this afternoon. I decided to listen to a genre of music that I know next to nothing about. I chose reggae. So, since I knew so little about it, I had no idea who I should go...
