linton is a legend , will live on for ever , if you dont know him go look him up ...
Incomparable!! What a legendary! Such a unique personality this man is, I truly love his style of music
Yes, just come out there and dig right in deep to the heart and the roots and the blood dear Linton.
i luv his voice
Well, his flow and accent are humorous ,and the fact that he says "Scooby Dooby Doo" at some point :D
