Hi, Murphy. I'm new in town. How are you doing?

I clicked on each song you had recommended and got access to every one of them. I loved them all. Thanks!!

They did bring back a lot of memories, even though a couple of them were way before my time, possibly. and some of them were just huge hits during 80'/90'.

Your outfit in the pic is flashy because of the two Chinese characters, which mean POLICE printed on the water-proof, oil-proof, most importantly, bullet-proof vest. I could possibly use one in a shootout, in my next life. Hahaha!!

You have my repect as a policeman.




a. before my time: before I was born.

b. outfit: A set of clothing, often with accessories, for a specialized purpose

c. could use: need
