https://dsound.audio/#!/@lefthouse/20180311t234330831z-goodt-day
I thought I heard that one on the radio before! Everything going for it ... I guess you said it though, no huge marketing budget was the only thing it didn't have going for it.
sometimes thats what it comes down to, now a days its always refreshing to see someone make a name for themselves on their own with the glorious tools of the interweb and blockchain.
Thanks for the listen as always @onemedia
That's the way to go these days for sure!
Ayyyyy @lefthouse is backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
Heck yeah excited to listen.
Yessir! Thank you
@chiefmappster ... sorry to go OCD on you my dear friend, but just spotted a typo which could cause confusion ... under the ' The prize pool is as follows' paragraph, "Round #4 of Season Two ... " should be "Round #5 of Season Two " (or am I the one getting ahead of myself ? ... if so then the top paragraphs needs to revert to round 4, and I need to correct my entry ... )

Ayyyyyy thank you my friend for letting me know correcting it now.
