But 44RPM with Drew (my personal favourite former Duncan guy) is a heck of an exciting move. It eases the pain. :wink: ---

Once you’ve known about something for months, it’s hard to remember that it’s “news” ha ha. But Hank messaged me and said that apparently the lack of formal announcement was causing some confusion, so I agreed to post something “official” on YoYoNews for him. Because he’s my dude. ---

It’s no problem, and I understand that. The repetition in my post is a reference to a rap song. Sometimes the things I hear everyday influence the syntax of my posts. 🙂 Ever since 44rpm posted a photo of the Rhythm, I had suspicions. I wasn’t told for sure until after LVO. ---
