FROM THE
FANS!!! YOU WANTED TO KNOW SO HERE WE GO!!!
Part
One
ACE YOUNG!!!
What was your very first
car and job? *Kristin*
(laughs) “Well, my very first car was a
1985 300ZX – it was a Nissan. It was too
fast for me for a first car. I wrecked it one
month after I got it! I wrecked it in the snow.
It was a sports car and I spun out in the middle
of the road and another car slid right through
the snow and caught me in between the tires. That
was my first car! I moved onto my 2nd car pretty
quick!” (laughing).
“First job…I had a paper
route! I did it through high school. If I wasn’t
doing that, I was playing sports. My dad would
always make sure that I was doing something. My
parents both said, ‘If you’re going
to play a sport, put all your energy into it and
that way we’ll treat it like a job. We’ll
pay you an allowance so you can go out and have
fun on the weekend. But if you’re not going
to play a sport, then you have to go get a job.’”
The Highrollers have noticed
ACE has amazing teeth. Ace, did you have braces? *Ashley*
“I wore braces for six months.”
How old were you? *Mrs. Jones*
“I was a junior in high school
and the only reason why I even did it was because
I was impatient. I went to my best friend, Derek’s,
dad who was our dentist and I said, ‘Is
there anyway you can straighten these and do it
fairly quickly?’ He said, ‘Yeah…I
think we could probably get it done in a year.’
I said, ‘Is there anyway we can do it faster
than a year?’ (laughing) He said, ‘Well,
let’s put them on and see what happens!’
And within a month my teeth were already aligned.
I wore them for another five months just to make
sure the bite was good. So yes, for a whopping
six months I wore braces!”
What is your favorite color?
*Karen*
“Red! When I was growing up
it used to be blue because I was named after George
Brett, with my first name being Brett. He was
on the Kansas City Royals – their color
is blue – so I always went with the main
color, blue! And then I always liked camping so
I turned to green. As of late, it’s red.
I’m sticking with red and I think it’s
sticking with me!”
Hey
Ace! Not sure if you remember me, but I gave you
the beanie at Workplay!
Thanks for the hug! I will be forever on cloud
nine! *Laci*
If you could meet anyone,
past or present, who would it be and why? *Laci*
“Well there are two guys, actually.”
Laci asked for one, Ace! *Mrs. Jones*
(laughing)
(laughing) “There has to be two, Laci –
you’ll see why!
First person – I would have to say Frank
Sinatra. Just because of his career, his longevity,
and all the things he did as a showman on and
off the screen. I think it was an amazing thing
to see a guy who would go out on the town when
he wasn’t working and still be such a good
guy. He had the opportunity to hang out with all
of his fans. He’d spontaneously jump on
stage and do a song here and there…amazing.
Another person would be Mel Torme. Mel Torme is
someone a lot of people don’t know. Most
people as of now know him for the Mountain Dew
commercials that he did before he passed away.
The reason I’d like to meet him is because
he always had a career in music and he always
lived that love and that passion whether he was
huge or not. That’s a dream come true. It
doesn’t matter how much you gain materialistically,
it’s if you can make a living doing what
you love, have a family, enjoy everyone around,
and enjoy the community.”
What is your biggest fear? *Judy*
“That’s changed! When
I was little, my biggest fear was the dark. I
was so scared of the dark! My brothers and I would
run around and play video games in the late afternoon
– they were good times! But if I won at
a video game that would definitely not be good!
I couldn’t beat ‘em! (laughing!) They
would put me in the bathroom and shut the lights
and lock the door! (laughing) They’d tap
on it going, ‘Aaaaaaace.’ (laughing)
That’s what brothers are for! That dark
always got me because I loved scary movies, too.
And, every time I would turn off the lights, I
would think Michael Meyers or Freddy Krueger was
coming after me! I always thought they’d
get me through my shower drain! (laughing)
But now I’m really not afraid
of anything. I guess the biggest fear I have now
is lack of communication. Being so busy I really
want to make sure I am able to communicate with
my family, my friends, and with my fans. That’s
the biggest thing with everything going on. There’s
just so much time in a day. There’s so much
to do now. So, if you didn’t hear it from
me, I’m still trying to get you the information.
And, if you heard something that wasn’t
from me and you think it’s true, let me
respond first before you believe it.”
I
have never followed any singer’s career.
You have a special something going on and it’s
incredible. Your limits have no ending and I am
glad to be a part of a legend! If you ever get
weary, just look at the path you’ve walked
and the steps waiting ahead! *Keya*
What do you think of Broadway? *Kristi*
“The first show I ever saw
was Phantom of the Opera. I saw it with my parents
and my brother, Ryan. I really remember it. It
stuck out because my family never did that. We
had five boys all going to school and growing
up together. We were lucky if we went to see Terminator
II together! Going to see Phantom really stuck
in my mind – I was 12. When we went there
I wasn’t too excited, but the moment it
started I was blown away. I was so wrapped into
it that my parents couldn’t even get my
attention until it was over. It really just grabbed
me. After that I had a respect for all styles
of music – even opera – because my
parents studied opera while I was growing up.
So, I love everything from musical theatre to
opera to the guy playing sax on the street corner!”
What city have you liked
the best so far since you started touring? *Janet*
“That’s hard because
we’re not done. Favorite so far for me…I’ve
enjoyed every place but I was blown away with
St. Louis. I was really blown away with Birmingham
– that was awesome – we got to see
the night life there a little bit – and
I went out in Rochester, NY, and…NYC!”
Does it concern you about
being in the public eye now? *Molly*
“Not at all! I think the
biggest fear that most people have is all their
information being out in the public eye. And whether
it’s good, bad, stupid or kooky, I think
it’s a big fear – it’s an insecurity.
How am I going to be accepted? Am I going to be
accepted?
With a show like this, anything
that could possibly be found out, will come out.
If it’s not yours, it could be one of your
family members or one of your friend’s and
it’s going to be released to the public.
It’s a relief for me because I don’t
have anything on my shoulder. I don’t have
a fear of something coming out. I can just be
Ace. When you have something in your family, good
or bad, come out…I think you have to talk
about it – no matter what it is. And, if
anything comes out that I haven’t said,
I’m prepared to give the answer to the fans
- whether it’s good, bad or ugly. I think
you owe that to your fan base. Accept it, talk
about it, and you can move on.”
Ace, what are your favorite
foods/snacks and candies? *Jaclyn*
“My favorite food is lasagna!
I love lasagna! Snacks – my fans found out
that I love Hot Tamales. I’ve been receiving
tons of Hot Tamales! And I appreciate that, fans!
And everybody in the crew and everybody on tour
is eating them!”
There go the beautiful
teeth, Ace! *Mrs. Jones*
(laughing) “Yeah!” “And as far
as snacks go…I also enjoy Pringles!”
Pringles!!!??? *Mrs. Jones*
“Yeah! But I’m a health
freak, too! I love taking a green pepper and just
cutting it up!”
Whoooaaa! You better be
careful what you say right now Ace because you
know your fans will be sending you cases of green
peppers! *Mrs. Jones*
(laughing) “I love Power
Bars! I love oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, and
wild berry!”
Hear that fans? Power Bars! *Mrs. Jones*
I
want to say from all of us Highrollers that we
are concerned the he’s looking a bit thin
these days. We know he was just sick as well and
we want to remind him to get as much rest as he
can and for goodness sakes…eat! We all will
send you good, healthy food if it will help! *Jaclyn*
Where do most of your lyrics
come from? Are they mostly from life experiences? *Andressa*
(One of our Brazilian Highrollers!)
“Yeah…my lyrics just
come from my heart. Ever since I was little, every
CD I bought my dad would ask, ‘Why are you
listening to this?’ I’d put my hand
to my chest and I’d say, ‘Cause I
feel it.’ And that was from Jackie Wilson’s
Greatest Hits, The Jackson 5, Eagles, Journey,
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to Steve Miller
Band…it just got me right in the heart.
So every time I write, I write from an emotional
place. You can write when you’re happy,
sad, or just going through a normal day. But the
biggest thing is that I want to have fun. And,
I want to celebrate WITH my fans this whole opportunity
that they’ve given me. So, everything I’m
writing now…I want to take my fans for a
ride and the next album is really going to take
you for a ride! It’s going to say things
about me that they don’t know! It’s
going to share some sides of me that they haven’t
seen yet. I know that’s hard to believe
because they know so much already, but there are
some things from birth to now that I really want
to share and talk about. I want to show my mom
and dad that I appreciate them. I’m putting
that all in my music. Everything that I write
is real to me. It’s either a viewpoint that
I have or an experience that I’ve been through.
It’s something that I make sure when I write
it, you can take it however you need that song.
And you can experience it and it can help you
through whatever you need to go through for your
experiences. I have this song called “Life
Goes On”...the lyrics of the song speak
as if I’m speaking directly to my loved
one. The chorus is talking about experiences I’ve
been through and experiences that I haven’t
been through yet.
When there are no late night
walks or midnight talks, life goes on. When there
are no more sleepless nights, life goes on…
and I’m talking about the things you look
forward to later in life but then when it comes
back to the next verse, I’m talking about
the now and I’m just expressing what I appreciate
and what I hope for. And that is to make my mark
on the world and do some positive things and have
my fans behind me 100%. We’re an army and
I get to be a spokesperson for the army. There
are a lot of things that need to be changed. I
want to express that. I want to show it with good
quality music, with a live band, and with a jam
session that will be different every night because
it’s going to be personal.”
Have you ever thought of
your journey from beginning to end when you’re
alone? *Brittany*
“I’ve had an image
in my head ever since I was 9 years old. It’s
a stadium full of people - my stage being in the
middle of the stadium and I was watching myself
older come through the middle of the stage, on
a part of the stage that’s spinning in a
360 degree circle slowly - over and over and over
and going higher and higher and higher - into
the sky. It’s slowly spinning and all I
was doing was holding a pose. That was the introduction
to the show. I have had that in my head. I’m
there for everyone to see.”
Do you still see this image? *Mrs. Jones*
“Yes, I still see it. It
was weird because I had a dream about it when
I was about 10 years old and I told my parents
about it. And they said, ‘Well it’s
a good thing because you’re doing music
now. You’re doing sports and music so you
never know what’s going to happen.’
The funny thing is I was 10 or 11 years old and
I’m picturing myself as a man and it’s
just crazy…my features were close to what
they are now, but it’s amazing to actually
close my eyes and picture it. I have a lot of
déjà vu’s. I’ve been
seeing a lot of this journey my whole life and
now it’s all coming into play.”
Hey
Ace….I just wanted to say thank you for
being my inspiration. You’ve really
touched my life and it’s my dream to meet
you someday. I hope you always
remember that an 11-year-old girl loves you. You’ll
always be my hero. *Brittany*
Has your family impacted
your musical career? *Ashley*
“Everyday. I am so blown
away with how my family has responded to all this
change and how supportive they are. It’s
one thing to say ‘Yeah, yeah…Ace is
doing great.’ But I have the proudest family
in the world! I have four brothers that walk around
and are spreading kind words about me everyday.
Whenever someone talks to them they say, ‘Well
I can’t wait till he gets his music out
to you because it’s sounds amazing.’
And then on top of that I have a mom and dad that
walk around with a pen with my picture on it.
And if anybody recognizes the pen, my dad will
give it to them. They say, ‘Here, why don’t
you take it…I have a lot of these.’
They say, ‘Keep your ear to the ground and
make sure you’re paying attention because
he’s going to be doing a lot of big things
soon!’”
When did you start taking
your music seriously and what advice do you have
for kids who want to pursue a career in music? *Brandon*
“That’s a good question,
Brandon! I took music seriously in a fun way ever
since I was 11 - just like I treated a sport.
Like football…you have to practice so you
know the plays. I treated music the same way.
You gotta learn the songs so you know the words
front and back because when you get up in front
of all your friends, that’s the first thing
that wants to leave you – those words. And
there’s nothing worse than being stuck on
a stage with a song playing and having nothing
to say. (laughing) I taught voice lessons for
2 1⁄2 years and I was teaching kids and
parents. The first thing I would say is, ‘Pick
a couple of artists that you love and learn one
song from each of those artists. Learn it well
and if you really love music, it will become part
of you. You will create your own style.’
Treat music like everything else you enjoy like
throwing a football or like going to a movie.
Incorporate it in your day-to-day. If it’s
meant to be, it will definitely take over. It
has to be fun!"
Ace, when will we get to
see you play the piano? *Beth*
“The moment I start this
tour of my own and start this music of my own
– you’re going to see me play the
piano…a lot!”
Have you decided what your
first single will be and when it will be released?
Thank you Ace, you rock! *Claudia*
(Fans…MANY of you had this
same question. Unfortunately, we have to sit tight
for this news just a little longer. When the tour
is over, we will start to hear more! At this time,
Ace cannot talk about what’s coming up.
We must be patient!
*Mrs. Jones*)
We’re so excited
about your upcoming album, Ace. How soon after
it drops can we expect a solo tour? *Libby*
“I am definitely going to
get you something before the year is over. That’s
a promise.”
I
want to tell ACE “thank you” for Detroit.
That was the most amACEing night ever! My daughter,
Aspen, and I enjoyed every minute of the day.
Also wanted to thank ACE for giving me the best
friends ever – Highrollers are the best!
ACE…Love you for being you! You’re
the BEST! Love, Crystal & Aspen
Where do you see yourself
in five years? *Margaret*
“I hope to see you in your
hometown with a live band and full venue! We’ll
have a blast!”
What is your greatest strength? *Beth*
“I believe your strength
comes from your core. And my core is my family,
my friends and my belief system. They’ve
helped me incorporate it in myself just growing
up with them. I think my greatest strengths come
from being around a lot of people. I’m really
good with a lot of people. I’m more comfortable
in a big group of people than I am just walking
around in my hotel room alone. That’s my
comfort – that’s my home. I think
that you see that when I’m on stage. I’m
really comfortable.”
What is your weakness? *Maryann*
Time. There is never enough.
I
just want to thank Ace for being so nice when
I met him here in Grand Rapids. I know he was
in a hurry that night because security was telling
him that it’s time for them to go, but he
still did all my requests. He signed my ticket,
took a picture and he even gave me a real tight
hug! What a darling! I will never, ever forget
that night for the rest of my life!
*Gina*
I’ve seen you perform
live and you seem to go into a “zone”
during some of your performances. Do you have
any tricks for doing this? Also, do you meditate
before a show? *Beth*
“When I go into a performance,
I really focus on the songs and the songs take
me for a ride. There’s a magical moment
that you have with a crowd…there’s
a moment that you look out and everybody’s
quiet. And everybody’s locked in and looking
right at you. You almost feel like you have a
stain on your shirt and everybody’s looking
at it – like a little kid. That’s
the moment that you know everybody’s with
you. And that’s the moment that I search
for when I start a show. When I come out and I’m
performing with Mandisa, I’m looking at
everybody saying my ‘Hellos.’ I’m
looking for that moment. When I have that moment,
I really zone in on what’s being said through
the song. And, I try and take you for a good long
ride. I’ll take you from happy to almost
seductive to aggressive and it’s hard to
go through all these emotions within ten minutes.
But if I zone in on what’s being said, you
go with me. So yes…I definitely go into
a zone, but it’s not a zone of blur –
it’s more a zone of clarity. I can see everybody’s
face – I can see them all the way to the
top and all the way to the back. When those lights
flicker, I see every single person in that arena.
I look at you. And it catches a lot of people
off guard. I really look at you! I really interact
with you! And if you say something, I’m
going to give you something back! I’m going
to give you a wink or a wave or if there’s
no music, I’m going to respond. When a song
ends I’ll hear a girl yell, ‘I love
you!’ and while she’s saying it I’ll
hear where she is and I’ll look back at
her and I’ll say it right back! And it will
catch her so off guard! She’s trying to
say it and be part of the crowd, but I’ll
look at her and say, ‘I love you, too!’
It’s awesome! So yes…I definitely
go into a zone of WE’RE ALL TOGETHER.
If I could go out into the crowd and give everybody
a high five during an up-tempo song, I would!
If they gave me that much time, I’d run
though and say hello to each and every person.”
Although
Ace doesn’t know it, he helped me through
a very difficult time. On the morning of July
15th my grandmother died. I had a ticket to the
Idol concert that night and I debated staying
home, but I knew if I did I’d end up crying
and depressed all night. So, I went. Ace has this
amazing light that shines from inside…even
if he’s just smiling…there’s
something very special about him. I knew if anything
could help me get through the night, it would
be seeing him perform.
I was able to snag a 2nd row center seat. At one
point during the show, I blew Ace a kiss. He looked
RIGHT AT ME, smiled, and waved. I will never forget
that moment as long as I live. It’s hard
to explain how such a small thing can mean so
much to a person, but when Ace smiles at you,
it’s like the sun shining on your face early
in the morning. There’s something so beautiful
and almost magical about it..."
*Jaclyn*
Ace…I
was wondering which artist you would love to sing
a duet with. *Brittany*
“I’d really
love to do something with Harry Connick, Jr. I
took my grandparents to see him perform at the
Hollywood Bowl this past year - it was a gift
for my grandma’s birthday. He’s just
so charismatic. When we left the show, my grandma
said, ‘What did you think of the show?’
I said, ‘I felt like we were in a pub. It
felt like there were only about 100 people there
and he was talking directly to each and every
one of us.’ She said, ‘I felt the
exact same thing.’ For him to do that in
such a big venue…that’s what you strive
for as an artist – to get your message across
to every single person in that place. Harry Connick,
Jr. definitely does that.”
I wanted to
know what Ace’s favorite song of all time
is and why. *Joy*
“My favorite
song of all time would have to be Aerosmith’s,
“Dream On!” I love it. And I perform
it. I don’t do it during the show though.
It’s a song that I used to play before a
big football game or before a state championship
game just to bring the team together – it’s
almost like “Eye of the Tiger”…you
know? Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for
the laughter, sing for the tears, sing with me
if it’s just for today, maybe tomorrow the
good Lord will take you away. Just live today
like it’s your last and live with a smile
because nobody wants to go out on a bad day. Just
respect everybody because we’re all together
and this is not easy. Life is not easy. But it’s
a lot easier when you have a lot of people behind
you."
In Greensboro,
NC I made Ace a tee shirt that is red and has
butterflies on it with the words, “You give
me butterflies.” I was wondering if he received
it. *Charlene*
“I got it. Thank
you, Charlene. I loved the time that you put in
on it. It’s awesome. It’s a red shirt
and it has butterflies flying across it. You can
tell that she made it and she put her time in
on it. I got it and I put it with my favorite
pile of gifts. I sent it to my mom and dad’s
house. It’s in a safe place where I can
treasure it.”
I
also want to tell him he is the best and I can’t
wait to see him on tour!
Love ya, Ace!
*Charlene*
At the end
of a show, what is the one thing that you, as
a musician, want people to take away from your
performance or understand about you? *Christy*
“What I want
them to walk away with and feel is that true compassion
I have for them. I want them to understand that
I’m not just going out and singing a song
to just sing a song. I’m going out to sing
a song to enjoy the moment and enjoy that moment
WITH those people that are there. I’m the
type that does not just send money to a charity
to dig a trench for a village to have water. I’m
not that guy. I’m the guy that’s going
to go out and get on a plane and I’m going
to have a shovel in my hand. And I’m going
to go out and I’m going to dig it with them.
If I can help financially, yes…I would do
that as well. But I want to be part of it. I want
to get my hands dirty. I’ve done a lot of
construction work. I used to drive a blade flattening
the ground for new houses. I really want them
to know that I’m part of them. I respect
their life. I respect their 9 to 5. And when they
leave, the only thing that I want them to be thinking
about is that they had a great time with me. But
I don’t want that to be the highlight of
their night. I want them to leave with their arm
around their loved one. I just want my performances
to be a great part of the day so their highlight
is a family moment or a moment chosen with their
friend when they leave. I want people to leave
united with something that they all shared with
me. I want everybody to be united with the people
they came with.”
You have four
brothers who have helped raise you and have turned
you into the man you are today. What have you
learned individually from each brother, and which
of the four has affected you/inspired you the
most? And how? *Kate*
“Whoooo –
you got me all choked up just thinking about that
one! Let’s start with Ryan. He’s four
years older than me. But he always let me be part
of his day. He always incorporated me into his
friends and into his daily life. And he also protected
me. He kept me at arms length from everything
so I could decide what I wanted to do when I saw
the after effect – I learned. Ryan was the
first person in my life that from birth to now
helped me with anything and everything. He helped
me grow up. I always wanted to be older. I always
wanted to grow up and be a grown-up. When he broke
his back at the age of 20, I came home everyday
at lunch and I would sit next to his bed. He was
in the bed for a year. He had to learn how to
walk again. He was dunking a basketball and he
had to learn how to walk again at 6’7”
tall. Once he got better, we just started hitting
children’s hospitals two or three times
a week. I was so happy to have him and we would
just go sing anything and everything that those
kids wanted to hear. And, it became a routine
and it became something that we really valued.
And to this day, we go. Even on this tour, I’ve
popped in on a couple different children’s
hospitals before the show just to say ‘hello.’
And if it weren’t for Ryan, I wouldn’t
be as secure as I am now. I wouldn’t be
as grown up as I am now. He helped me go out to
CA four years ago. He put his life aside and moved
out to CA with me so he could help me pay the
bills, I could knock on doors and work with other
producers. So, if it weren’t for Ryan, I
wouldn’t be here.”
Ace,
you’re an amazing guy and super talented
and while that is impressive, it’s your
selfless heart that touches people the most. Your
dedication to the Denver Children’s Hospital
and when you met that little girl, Mackenzie,
after that concert recently. That was heart wrenching
and beautiful. I am so impressed with your genuine
spirit. That’s why your fans love you so
much!
*Jen*
“Marc –
Marc is one of those guys that you look at him
and you see his heart. He’s one of those
guys that if you told him you didn’t like
his tee-shirt, he’d feel like he disappointed
you. He’s also a very gifted athlete. Marc
went to an all boys high school and as a sophomore
in high school, he was the starting quarterback.
He was being recruited by the University of Miami.
One day he was throwing a football with John Elway
and he was seeing how far he could throw the ball.
He threw the ball about 75 yards and when it landed,
he looked down at his arm and it was limp. He
couldn’t feel it. He tore his rotator cuff.
Everything that he was working for ended for him
right there. He’s still a great athlete.
He tried to get it back but it was never the same.
All of his opportunities went away. It was that
time when he picked up music. He was always singing.
He sang “More Than Words” with one
of his good friends in a talent show. It sounded
amazing. He blew everybody away and that was the
first time since football he felt that appreciation
- he felt that rush again. He started pursuing
music. At the age of 18 he was working with a
producer and putting together music. It was because
of Marc that at age 9, I pulled on my dad’s
coattail and said, ‘Dad, I think I can do
that. I think I can sing.’ I was already
playing baseball, basketball, soccer and track!
He said, ‘Well, why don’t you go learn
a song and come back and sing it for me and we’ll
see if you’re any good.’ He thought
I’d just forget about it with all the stuff
I was doing. Within a week, I had the whole family
together and I sang Michael Jackson’s, “ABC.”
And my dad jaw’s dropped! (laughing) He
said, ‘Damn, Ace. Do you have anything else
you want to say?’ And I said, ‘Yep!’
And I sang “Ben.” My dad said, ‘Well,
we’ll get you with that producer and it’ll
just be another thing that you do.’ And
because of Marc, I started singing.”
“Duff! Duff,
Duff, Duff. Duff is 10 years older than me. Ever
since I was little, Duff was an amazing artist.
He could paint and he could do free hand like
no one I’ve ever been around in my whole
life. He was the type of guy that growing up would
take apart the phone just to see it and he would
put it back together. And it would work! (laughing)
He has always, to me, been one of the smartest
guys in the world. Just because he understands
how things are put together. They have a base
and they have a support and they have a top. He
is so supportive of me. He’s said, ‘Ace
is going to do some crazy stuff with music some
day.’ He always believed in me. He always
supported me and even through all of this Idol
experience he would say, ‘Man, I can’t
wait for you to get your own music out.’
Coming from a guy that understands the base and
the structure and the roof to everything…that
means a lot. That means he respects the base that
I put on my music career. He respects the walls
that I built and now it’s time to put the
roof on top.”
And then it’s
time to blow the roof off!!! *Mrs. Jones*
(laughing) “Time
to blow the whole house up!”
“Josh…my
oldest brother. He’s 12 years older than
me. Josh is the most gifted athlete I’ve
ever met in my life. When he was a teenager he
was sponsored for slalom and down hill skiing.
He was ranked 17 in the nation. He was an amazing
skier. And, he was fearless. He still is. He could
throw a football 60 yards - perfect – it
was amazing. If he threw the football now, it
would hurt to catch it because it comes so fast.
And I’m a wide receiver saying that! He
is so gifted in every sport and he’s so
caring. The one thing that I really want him to
know is that he is appreciated.”
You’re
a man with an agenda, Ace! *Mrs. Jones*
“I am! All men
are stubborn, right!?! (laughing) I will make
it happen!”
Ace
Young has brought so many people from so many
different walks of life together. I’m forever
grateful for his kindness and true spirit. He
makes this unsure world seem hopeful again. Just
keep smilin’ Ace – it brightens any
bad day! Thanks, Ace.
