If it aint Funky aint nobody gonna move to the music or be moved by the the music.; ▶ Reply to This

You may not believe this, out of all the bands I never got a chance to check out for myself was Mandrill. Back in the day I'd heard a few cuts here and there - I don't know, I guess I got sidetracked.; ▶ Reply to This
