Phil Ajjarapu - Sing Along Until You Feel Better A friend of mine who was the bass player on Liquid Soul's best album (One-Two Punch) and is now a choir teacher in Austin. He had a near-fatal motorcycle accident a couple of years ago that woke him up to the fact that he really wanted to get his OWN music out.
