I have no coherent words to offer. Just posting this here in hopes that we can lighten the load on Clynt’s family. Please if you can donate. When I get a grip I’ll write something…….

Pen and Pad hits home because so many in the Playlist community have found their voice through writing, and the way this group approached this song creatively shows how powerful that really is. It has been fun finally sharing the music from the Playlist Challenge and we cannot wait to show you more. To every writer out there, we all have something to say, so keep going. ❤️🤍🖤 S/O to @kassaoverall @kaiditatham @sly5thave @djlucianosola @spydatekzilla
