Blindfolded and Horny
Clifton must live vicariously through the pleasure others get from going shopping for musical instruments. He always seems enthusiastically down for the pursuit of new and interesting and good sounding instruments. Hell, last year he drove Stefan all the way to Indiana to buy a Read More …
