Houston Smith MR. Burnett, in talking with one of the KCYJ students over facebook, wee might be having some new recruits for the "12:30" combo. Taylor hasn't said exactly whether he'll be bringing people in, or not but he said he'll ask aroud at his school. He also said that he'd come in over the next few saturdays, and sit in on th...e drums. This might be a positive move forward. Let's hope for the best!!
