Local Musicians: Jessica Rose Powell with The Mystic Voices
Shout out to The Mystic Voices singing this original song with me. They've been doing FB live sound spa shows on Mondays at 6PM so be sure to watch. How I wish I could see you girls in person along with so many others. When we recorded this song only a few months ago we had no clue everything would go upside down in the near future. I'm really glad we got to work on a project like this before all of the craziness started. I cherish playing music with artists like you two and it's breaking my heart not playing music with others any more. We need music now more than ever. I'm incredibly grateful for music to sooth our souls through such rough times.

He brands the chemical as MMS, “miracle mineral solution”, and claims fraudulently that it can cure 99% of all illnesses including cancer, malaria, HIV/Aids as well as autism. HERE
