Please excuse me guys don’t laugh, reading from what is above I must say I’m lost: may I ask, what at all is SOCA? I feel like the song – HOLD MY HAND, I’M A STRANGER IN PARADISE. Now I don’t quite know if its Paradise but I do like soft Music, dose that mean I’m lost? so boys, whatever your SOCA is, enjoy it but don’t forget to – PRAISE THE LORD – and be Blessed.
