Video: “Never Mind the Strangers” at Maceal’s
In our second video we are playing my favourite Rapalje song at my house

And we want to sing this song for you because it’s my personal favourite. It’s kind of the glue that held or binds us together for the past 21 years:
It takes two to get together. It takes time to make it last. Never mind the strangers
