Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Well these two YouTubers, called TwinsthenewTrend, got a surprise when they had their first time hearing Phil Collinsā āIn the Air Tonightā. Watch and wait for the drums!
I wish I could go back in time and hear these great tracks for the first time too.

NEW YORK STORIES
Sal Salomon is a man who has been to prison; spent a year in a homeless shelter; had 3 brothers, his father and mother die in a 7 month period; but can still find āvibrations of happinessā ā especially when he sings.
Sal is a child of 1970s Hellās Kitchen. He was brought up in an era where the Westies still had a significant hold on the area, and as he puts it: āyou got to know the Irish mob pretty well and I wound up getting in trouble at an early age.ā The big trouble came when he was 19.

THE BOYS ARE BACKā¦
