I'm sorry, Welcome to South Beach Sessions joined by an old friend.

0:19.2

I need to rephrase that.

0:20.4

A young friend who I've known for a long time, Joy Taylor, watched her assent from Miami

0:26.6

and I don't think I've ever told her this before. You can catch her on a show called Speak on
