Julius Brockington - Sophisticated Funk

"As the music spectrum revolves around the world, colors brighten. Turning and circling, warmth increases as the communications increase. Sesitivity and attraction to the human ear is important to those who have a genuine appreciation for music. The organ is one instrument which is used to emcompass you - the everyday people. Sit back, relax with a glass of wine, and hear what is meant by "Sophisticated Funk"."
-Dede Dabney
