Look who's reading Positively Naperville!
Jim Sonefeld,
Ray Kinney's friend
and favorite member of
Hootie and the Blowfish,
is Naperville's own Rockstar!
"Jim told me a story about a project he has been working on and asked me to pass
this along," said Kinney. "After watching the video, I downloaded the song...needless to say, I am very proud to call him my friend and happy to see him use his talents to
help others...Let's see what we can do to
get this to go viral! Please forward!"
