    bonjour tu es le premier chez qui je reviens m'immerger dans la soul et le groove . d'ailleurs à ce propos je trouve le concept de cette plate-forme très intéressante pour tout te dire .
    Mes ennuis de santé ne sont pas encore (loin de là) derrière moi , je profite juste d'un moment de grâce pour montrer que je ne vous oublie pas , il faut juste encore un peu de temps beaucoup de patience et de courage
