I remember the early 90’s and ParK Place Cafe across from Perimeter Mall in North Atlanta. It was a piano bar and Tonee was the main attraction. Every night he packed the place and was responsible for soooo many good times. Tonee I’m so glad to see you blessed in this way. “The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire”!!!!! Thanks again Tonee!!!!!

[@Sharisia]

who’s they?!?!? i’m sorry this sent me 😭😭😭😭

[@sandoso2679]

I wish I can get 150,000 so I can buy a house

[@KO-cj9ci]

Do they pay taxes on that?

[@fredzag2452]

That's the first thing I thought. But there may be a gift rate. Instead of 30%, maybe 6%.

[@zioebog]

listen.. not to interrupt the story but.. all I see is an older gentleman with a compromised immune system playing in an Airport with no mask on.. during a worldwide pandemic that traveled by Airplane. America is addicted to story... and the story is more important to Americans than the truth.. than reality. If you care about that man, tell him to put an effing mask on and get out of the airport.
