Usually these are the first two words spoken in reference to a dream, goal, or change. What if there was a way to get the voice of the streets to manifest in what is truly the definition of sexy. There are so many possibilities with the phrase “what if?” What if, John Mayer grew up on the “other side of the railroad tracks?” How would his music sound and feel?
