Speaking of the salt...Mr. Reggie Smith adds such an amazing hint of phlava to but an awesome recipe!
Watching him in his own element while on-stage performing live is a one-of-a-kind treat. Let me be the
first to say that “Reggie Makes Love to the Saxophone.” I absolutely adore him and love to watch him
handle that darn saxophone. Ladies, watch out...this musician is coming to steal your hearts!!!
