Mr. Taylor has done an amazing job with the Boom these past few years during his second time around! So since it's his second time around, he deserves to do whatever he wants to do. It appears he still may be connected to the Boom so that's a good thing. Job well done Mr. Dowell Taylor whatever you decide you have my support!! Outstanding leadership!! Go Sonic Boom and Go Dowell Taylor!!!!! Whoever is next just needs to keep up Mr. Taylor's outstanding work with the band and keep us moving in the right direction on this well-oiled Sonic Boom Machine!!! Luv the Boom!!!!
I totally agree, whoever it is will have some very big shoes to fill!!! However, as long as Mr. Taylor is involved I am confident the Boom will be placed in very good hands!!!

Jackson State still hasn't released a press release concerning Taylor. Guess I will wait and see what happens.
