Rebecca Hope...Jazzin With Zebra Libra

YING - YANG Zebrarings

Hearing is believing.
Seeing is understanding.
Supreme Love.
Time is relative and a dimension in the warehouse of Jazz.
Hip-PI-ti-Hop.
1 + 1 = 3
mainTAIN, reTAIN, perTAINING to, ConTAINing, TAIN.
Time Watts for no one
Rewind the Remind
Molecular Dee-lightenment
Atomic Dee-lightenment
I've Got it Good...and That Ain't Bad
Let's Do It
Whew!!
Fortification of Love Supreme, the love supreme
The Price You Gotta Pay To Be FREE
Duality-Cooking in the kitchen and on stage
You've NOT changed
I CAN Get Started
Now IsN'T the Time
The Supreme Love
Be-Angeled
Do Explain
