SPEAKER_08 0:00

You're watching the Freak Apotamus Podcast with the Real Russell. All things RB, funk, soul, and prince. Let's get into it.

SPEAKER_02 0:10

Welcome to the Freak Apotamus Podcast. You ready for some RB funk? Soul and Prince? Let's go. Now, your host, the real Russell.

SPEAKER_10 2:18

Anyway, welcome to the Freakopotamus Podcast. Welcome back. We are the show where we bring you the voices that shape the sound of yesterday and also the voices that shape the sound of tomorrow. I am your host, the real Russell. Sorry, uh, about the technical difficulties starting off. Anyway, you get the gist. Uh we are back on this special 421-2026. Everybody in the Purple Circle knows what today is. Today is a special day. We're not gonna make it a Saturday. We're gonna make it a celebration day. Uh this marks the 10-year passing of our brother Prince's transition ten years ago as of today. And tonight we're gonna vibe out. I'm gonna open up the phone lines. Um, I'm gonna allow you guys to call in, tell your Prince stories, uh, share your Prince experiences. If you want to talk about where you were on that dreadful day ten years ago, that's fine too. Whatever you want to do. Um so that's what we're gonna do tonight. We're gonna play some music, we're gonna play some video, and we're just gonna relax, and we're gonna make this a celebration and uh not a mourning or sad event. We're just gonna keep it chill, and we're just gonna have some fun with it. And uh lots going on around the country, Minneapolis on today. Um I know they're doing uh candlelight visual out at Paisley Park at some point tonight, um, if they haven't done it already. Uh I think they've been kind of doing some things all day long and they're gonna continue to do things throughout the night as well. Um, those of you who are in Minneapolis who are partaking, I would love to hear your feedback on what exactly is going on, what what events you went to, what what transpired today on this special day. I know that uh yesterday we had uh this event uh over at the Dakota in Minneapolis. It was a show put on by uh the Revelation Michael Bland and the band. Um that took place last night, and special guest Liv Warfield showed up, turned it out over at the Dakota. So hopefully you guys in uh Minneapolis had a chance to go check that out. Um let's see what else happened. Let me throw this uh graphic back up here real quick. Anyway, uh yesterday, those of you in Minneapolis, uh, did anybody get a chance to go over to Paisley Park? I know Londell McMillan was there, and he was gonna answer questions um from the public as far as what's going on with the estate, what what we can expect. I know that I had um one person that I follow over on the on TikTok. Uh she lives in Minneapolis and she was gonna go check it out. And a lot of people were asking her in the comments um to ask about the release of um piano on a microphone, video, audio. And her reply was basically it's coming. Now I don't know what that means, I don't know if that was an answer that was given by Londell, but those were her words. So hopefully she will follow up in the next day or so to let us know exactly what that meant. Um I would love to hear feedback from folks that went to Paisley yesterday around three o'clock to to hear what Londell had to say. So those of you who are joining tonight who were able to attend that that um impromptu event, I would love to hear from you. Uh let's see what else. What's going on? Did anybody get a chance to listen to Tavis Smiley's special today? Yeah. I know he was supposed to do a three-hour special uh on his uh show today. If you downloaded the app, I forgot the name of the app. Let me look real quick. Anyway, you may be able to go back and listen. I tried to listen today, but I didn't see the three-hour special with Prince. He did have Maite on his show. I did listen to that. That was really interesting. Uh let's see, it's the um KBLA app talk 1580. If you download that app and you should be able to pull up Tavis Smiley's show. He talked to Maite today. Uh it wasn't yesterday. Actually, he talked to Maite yesterday. He was supposed to do the uh three-hour Prince event today. And apparently he was gonna dig in his vaults, and I don't know if he's gonna play um verbiage from the times that Prince was actually on his show or whether he had something in the vault that we haven't heard before. But basically it was supposed to be three hours of Prince in his own words. So um I'm gonna go back and see if I can pull that up. Thanks, guys, for those of you who are joining in tonight. Um, what else is happening? Uh I know that at 12 midnight tonight, they are supposed to have another candlelight visual down at the Riley Creek Bridge, aka the Graffiti Bridge. I know that um Brother Christopher from Funkatovia is supposed to be down at Riley Creek Bridge tonight, 12 midnight, doing the candlelight visual. And I'm sure he's in Minneapolis doing tons of other things. I um I asked him if he would um be kind enough to take some time out and stop by and and say hello to the people, but I don't think he received my message. He's probably that busy. So we shall see, but we may actually have some special guests dropping by tonight. Um I reached out to a couple of folks to see if they would be interested in joining, so we shall see. I'm not gonna mention any names, but we may have some special guests stop by tonight to say hello and what's up. Um, let's see. Before we go any further, did anybody get a chance to check this out? It's a new song that the uh the estate put out yesterday called With This Tear Slow Jam by your boy Prince. Uh this song was actually recorded in 1991. Uh it was later given to Celine Dion for one of her albums. I checked it out yesterday. Really nice, smooth, mellowed out song. If you're into Prince Slow Jams, this one is for you. Um as I said, it was recorded in 1991 and they released the Prince's version on yesterday. Uh what else do we have going on? Uh we got the Love for One Another event taking place tonight. Uh headed up by Maite Garcia. Uh Shelby's gonna be there performing along with the Minneapolis All-Star Funk Band featuring St. Paul. And I've got some free event footage right here to share with you. And this is actually uh St. Paul talking about it, and also he's talking about the 10th anniversary of Prince's passing and the time that he spent with Prince. Here we go. Let's check out Mr. St.

SPEAKER_00 10:46

Paul. Prince hired me to replace Jimmy Jam in Morse. St. Paul Peterson here. Prince hired me to replace Jimmy Jam in Morse Day in the Time back in 1983. Today marks the 10-year anniversary of his passing, and I'm here in Hollywood, and uh we're gonna be playing a millennial concert and a fundraiser for Live for Love, Slam Slam benefits today with the Minneapolis Funk All Circle Special Guests. Where were you when you found out Prince? I was running a music college in Minneapolis, and uh I was about to teach a class, and a friend that came up to me and said, We gotta check out the news and saw what happened and obviously was devastated and confused and started to call my tastely park friends, and uh we planned a gathering, just getting together to commiserate, I guess, is what we did. And uh I'll never forget it. Uh what a crushing blow. You know, even though I was with him for only a short period of time in my life, uh, he had an incredible impact on me. And uh, you know, we miss him, and we're gonna honor him today. Rest in peace.

SPEAKER_10 12:20

Anyway, yeah, that's Mr. St. Paul talking about his time with Prince and um uh let me make myself a little bit larger. Here we go. Anyway, um let me make a correction real quick. Earlier, I say this is for the love for one another charity I'm putting on that event tonight. It's actually Live for Love. My bad. I got too confused. I always get the too confused for some reason. But anyway, uh that was St. Paul. Um, and I want to throw up a free event clip from uh Shelby J. You'll recognize some more people in the video. Let's check that out.

unknown 16:00

Uh oh.

SPEAKER_04 16:01

I love you.

unknown 16:08

I gotta go.

SPEAKER_10 16:11

All right, that was Miss Shelby J, Maite Garcia, and the Minneapolis funk all-stars doing their thing tonight out in Hollywood for the Live for Love uh charity event. Which is still going strong. This is this is a charity that uh Maite and Prince uh started back in the uh mid to late 90s, and it's still going strong. Love for one another, exactly. Thanks guys for joining tonight. We're just vibing out on this special 421-2026 10th anniversary of our brother Prince's uh transition, home going. That's what I like to call it. We're not gonna uh we're not gonna be sad tonight, we're gonna celebrate, we're gonna try to keep it as upbeat as possible. And let's see, I think I've covered pretty much all of the purple news for today. If anybody has anything else uh that they know of that is going on in Minneapolis, throughout the country, throughout the world, please jump down in the comments and let us know I might have missed something. Um I touched on some of the events that were happening yesterday as well as today. Um he ascended to the next level. Exactly right. Exactly right. As we all will one day. Um, let's see. As I mentioned earlier, we may have some special guests stopping in. Um hopefully um that will happen. I know that um a lot of the other uh purple podcasts, uh Prince related podcasts, they're probably doing lives uh as well tonight, along with myself. So um we sorry about that. We shall see. We're just gonna play it by ear tonight. Um let's just kick it off with some music. Um, as I mentioned, it's gonna be a call-in show tonight. So, those of you who are joining who want to call in and share your Prince story, share your Prince experiences, talk about any concerts or after shows that you might have gone to over the years. If you want to talk about where you were on that dreadful day, that is also fine. But I'm just gonna kick it off with some music, and the phone lines are open, and let's throw that number up there for you real quick. And that will be right there at the bottom. And if you can't see it, if it's too small, there it is again. It's 803-400-8812. Those guys who want to call in, perfectly fine. We're gonna kick it out with some music and just vibe out. This is a deep cut unreleased track called Dream. If anybody has a second to just let me know if the audio and the music is coming through, that would be wonderful because sometimes going into these live streams without a net, just blinded, you don't know what's happening on any other side. I didn't do any test before the show. I don't know what's happening on your side. Audio is good, thank you so much. I'm trying to to to figure out what the name is there. Is that um let me get a closer look? Is that Tle? Tle 1999 on the YouTube side. Tlee will or tly. It's kinda hard to pronounce a T and an L together. Tlee. Tle T close. Family, I call I'll call you that. How about that? Purple family.

SPEAKER_09 20:59

Will. Alright.

unknown 21:02

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_06 21:08

The past is slow.

SPEAKER_10 21:14

Has anybody heard this track dream before? Very smooth. I don't know why I started out uh with a slow song tonight, but uh it's all prints, it's all good.

SPEAKER_03 21:28

Try to keep it upbeating.

SPEAKER_10 21:52

The floor is yours as we vibe out and celebrate. Thank you, Miss Julie. Nice and smooth. Nice and breezy. Let's see if we got anybody hanging out in the green room. As I mentioned. Nice way to ease in into the purple groove. People groove, purple groove. We may have some special guests stopping by tonight. I don't see anybody hanging out in the green room quite yet. We shall see what happens. I know everybody has a busy schedule today, especially people up in Minneapolis.

SPEAKER_09 23:04

I don't see anything else in my notes.

SPEAKER_10 23:30

So that's coming up soon, so be sure to hang out for that. Maybe you've seen some already, maybe you haven't. I've got it to share to make this show a little different, a little more special tonight. Do you, Miss Julie says, do you like the new song that came out? Uh Tears. Yeah, I just talked about that earlier. Um, this song right there. That one is called Um With These Tears. Yeah, they released that yesterday. I like it. It's nice and smooth, just like the one we just heard. Um, the history behind it, it was recorded in 1991. 1991, we all know that during that time, that era, uh, we had the Diamonds and Frows album. And that song was later uh given to Celine Dion for one of her songs. But yesterday they released Prince's version. It's very, very nice, very smooth. Um I'm so glad that Prince was able to mature as a person, his music reflects his evolution. Absolutely. If you look back at a lot of his earlier stuff, it's totally different than his later stuff. Like as uh the years went by, he evolved and matured, and so did his music. And so we got to see him grow as a person and mature as well as his music. As a person and artist, he don't get stuck. His evolution is really amazing. Yeah. I mean, if you look back at his body of work, his history of music, um, his style, it was constantly evolving into something different. I just had a conversation with a guy today, and he's not really a print scholar, he knows uh some of the mainstream stuff that most people know, like purple rain and things like that. And he didn't realize there was a musicology album. And so he went back and listened to the musicology album, and he was like, This is nothing like purple rain. I was like, None of the albums are alike, each album was different. Um, I hear somebody down in the green room. Let's see who it is. Oh my gosh, everybody, welcome to the stage. Miss Tanya D. Harris.

SPEAKER_07 26:33

Hello, everybody.

SPEAKER_08 26:47

Hello, purple people.

SPEAKER_10 26:50

All right, yeah, we're just hanging out here. Earlier, I went over some purple news and things that are going on across the country in Minneapolis and uh playing some music and playing some videos and just having a good time trying to make this a celebration and and not anything sad.

SPEAKER_08 27:05

Right, I hear you. Like yesterday I was kind of like sad because it's like uh looking at everybody's pictures and the stories and everything, but then today I was like, you know, I'm gonna just play this music and dance. I went and get my got my hair done and uh was just trying to have a you know good day.

SPEAKER_08 28:12

Yeah. So how's everybody doing?

SPEAKER_10 28:18

Everybody seems to be doing good. I've got um quite a few people that are joining in tonight, and I see a lot of people down in the chat um saying different things. I'm gonna have to scroll back and catch some of the stuff that I missed, but um yeah, we've just been hanging out. Um, I'm hoping that um some more guests will stop by as well. I reached out to some folks, but you know, yeah, um, most of the folks that I talked to also have podcasts, so they're probably going live tonight as well.

SPEAKER_08 28:47

Right, exactly. And then most of the um, you know, the people that played with Prince, um, they have shows tonight, and they had shows last night. So are they are they doing other stuff like overseas? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 29:03

Yeah, I totally forgot that um Shelby was taking part of the live for Live for Love charity event tonight.

SPEAKER_08 29:10

Exactly, yeah. And that's uh uh Shelby, Maite, um St. Paul and the funk all stars.

SPEAKER_10 29:18

Yeah, I showed a clip, a pre-event clip from those guys earlier, and they were having a good time warming up.

SPEAKER_08 29:24

Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, that's yeah.

SPEAKER_10 29:28

I reached out to her earlier not knowing that she was gonna be busy, but she did tell me at one point she was definitely gonna come on the show.

SPEAKER_08 29:35

So okay, cool, cool, great as soon as she becomes unbusy. Yeah, yeah. Summertime they get a little bit more busier, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 29:46

She's always busy, which is a good thing. She's still working and still out there doing it, man.

SPEAKER_08 29:51

And exactly, yeah. And I talked to Cassand Cassandra, and I was like, When you know, um, you want to come on like podcasts and just talk about what you're doing, especially because she's gonna be at Paisley Park. And she was like, Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do that. I just my studio's not ready. I think she's I guess fixing everything in a studio at her.

SPEAKER_10 30:14

Oh, I would love to have her on, man. She's a very nice person, very talented person. Yeah, much, she's been around for a while, and most people don't even know her body, but yeah, she's done a lot.

SPEAKER_08 30:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 30:29

As well as play with Prince, but yeah.

SPEAKER_08 30:31

Um let what's what else is going on? Um, I know Shelby has shows that are coming up um in May, but this is like overseas. She has a show in Copenhagen at um the Epicurus, which is like a night, it's like um, it's like I guess a nightclub with you have like a bar and then and uh the bar and the stage is downstairs, and then upstairs is the restaurant. So she's gonna be there for pretty much the whole month of May. And then um in June, is it June? No, no, no, July, July 2nd, around like 4th of July weekend, she's gonna be with Candy and Amsterdam. Uh-huh. Yeah, so they're gonna be doing that, and then Maite is doing something for Live for Love for the kids around Memorial Day weekend, and then I think it's the 29th, May 29th, and then she's also doing like a dance class where you know the fans come and you can dance with Maite, and that's in May.

SPEAKER_10 31:44

Awesome. Didn't you get a chance to dance with Maite as well?

SPEAKER_08 31:47

Yes, I did. I love dancing with Maite.

SPEAKER_10 31:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 31:52

Uh-huh. So um I'm trying to think. Oh, yeah, and then you of course in June is um uh celebration.

SPEAKER_03 32:02

Right.

SPEAKER_08 32:03

Uh-huh. So you have a lot of people going to that, and then MPG. Ooh, but they're not MPG anymore. What is it? Um the sound. Wait, the sound of Minneapolis. All stars. I gotta look at it again.

SPEAKER_10 32:21

Yeah, lots of legalities going on.

SPEAKER_08 32:23

Yeah, it's yeah, it's um they're gonna be in Minneapolis at like a I think it's an outdoor concert, it's free. Um, that's June 20th.

SPEAKER_10 32:35

Wow.

SPEAKER_08 32:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 32:36

Wow, it's a it's it's amazing all this name change stuff is still going on 10 years later, you know?

SPEAKER_08 32:43

But I I still really don't understand that one because I see that there's other people out there doing prince music. Like um, I forget the bands, but you see them on social media. They have a band and they're out there singing prince um music and they're imitating Prince, and nothing is happening. Right. I did I don't get it. I don't get it.

SPEAKER_10 33:09

Yeah, there are a lot of uh tribute bands out there using prince-related words for their you know, names for their band, like purple rain, where they're spelling rain a different way, right? And other things, you know. Okay, but they're getting away with it, you know. Yeah, yeah. Right now they are anyway. Who knows what's happening?

SPEAKER_08 33:31

That's true right now. I I guess because NPG was actually NPG with Prince, so like you said, there's no there's no letter change or whatever. Okay, I get okay, I get that.

SPEAKER_10 33:42

Yeah, yeah, let's take a read some of the comments that are coming in. I'm I'm backing up a little bit here. Julie Brendan, I don't know if you know Julie Brendan, probably do. Hey, uh I I think that I think at the moment he became comfortable with being himself and not having to answer to anyone, that's the era I love, especially the song Breakdown and the section as of when she comes. Yes, yes, yes. I like that. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 34:13

I love that song. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 34:15

Yeah, we were talking earlier about his evolution and the way he matured throughout the years as well as his music.

SPEAKER_08 34:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 34:23

If you listen to a lot of his earlier stuff, it's totally different than you know, his his latter stuff.

SPEAKER_08 34:29

Exactly, exactly. Yeah. It's like he just got even more better and better.

SPEAKER_10 34:35

Better, better.

SPEAKER_08 34:36

Yes.

SPEAKER_10 34:38

Michelle Brown. Michelle Brown, thanks for joining, Michelle. Don't think I've spoken to you tonight, but uh says she was on her way to work and was crying when she got there. I assume this is on this day 10 years ago when that happened.

SPEAKER_08 34:54

Oh, that yeah.

SPEAKER_10 34:57

Yeah, we all have stories.

SPEAKER_08 34:59

Yes, it's yeah, it's kind of like you know, when those big tragic things happen, like I know where I was for 9-11. You know what I mean? Because I was with the airline. I knew I knew where I was with Prince, and I was just so glad I had just completed like all my trips, and I had flew in on the 20th back home. So I was like on my days off, and then the 21st, he passed. I was like, I was just glad I was home because if I was in the air, I'd have been a mess. I'd have probably been like, I gotta call out. I gotta call out.

SPEAKER_10 35:32

Yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah, I was actually at work that day. I was on my lunch break taking a jog, and uh my phone started blowing up, and people were calling me, like, are you okay? Are you okay? Because they knew they knew how big of a fan I was. So it was like family. I'm just checking on you, make sure you're okay. I'm like, what are you talking about? So they were telling me what was going on, and um I was in disbelief like everybody else until I um I turned to TMZ. That's where I first saw the news.

SPEAKER_08 36:05

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when same thing, people were calling me because they know we were we're big Prince fans and like, are you okay?

SPEAKER_03 36:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:13

Um, but I kept like, you know, in CNN and all the news, they weren't really saying it was prints yet. So I was like, oh, it's just somebody that works there, something happened, and you know, because it's Paisley Park, they're making it like this big thing, but it's you know, it's just a worker or something happened. Yeah, when it actually said it, I was like, oh my goodness, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 36:35

Yeah, I was thinking a worker or a staff member or something like that before I actually saw it on TMZ, and I was like, that's impossible. He was a health nut. How could that be so? Exactly. If it happened, then what exactly happened? Because he was definitely a health freak, right? Not freak, health nut, and uh he uh so active, he was doing piano in a microphone and riding his bicycle around Paced Devices, like there's no way, right? Yeah, yeah, so full of life.

SPEAKER_08 37:06

I know, just so sad, so sad, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 37:10

Yeah, let's see. We've got um T Will again. Yes, we are blessed to be aware enough to be going along for the ride. I'm so glad I had ears to hear uh his genius, exactly. Good comments, man. Um T Will says, Welcome, welcome to Tanya. Hi for those of you who don't know who Tanya D. Harris is, just follow her on social media. You shall see. She's a big promoter of anything purple.

SPEAKER_03 37:47

Yes, big promoter, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 37:50

She's helped me a lot, she's promoted my stuff a lot and everybody else's stuff as well. Really grateful. Yeah, Julie Brandon and Susanna. Uh Will. I'm just going through. Elise Feriello. I can never pronounce that name correctly.

SPEAKER_08 38:11

I know when I met her, I was like, oh goodness, I don't know how to say that name. So I was just like, hey, we're just having fun here.

SPEAKER_10 38:18

Yeah. Yeah, apparently um she's there with the with the uh Live for Love event tonight. Yes, play some B size. Play some B size. Yeah, you know what? I gotta be careful, even if they're B size, if they were released B size, I gotta be careful that I don't get slapped by the YouTube cops. Because if I play something that's been officially released, then I might get dinged for it, and this video may never be aired. You know, I gotta be careful. So I what I try to do is play unreleased stuff or live versions of stuff or like really short clips, but I gotta be really careful about copyright. Exactly. Yeah, they will shut you down. They will, they will shut me down. Um, I've seen some people get shut down.

SPEAKER_08 39:14

Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 39:16

Let's see. Is this Riri2768 from YouTube? She says, Yeah, I'm going to the Purple Rain show tonight. Not sure how they are able to do it. Yeah, I was talking earlier about the tribute band. And they go by the name Purple Rain, but rain is spelled R-E-I-G-N instead of R-A-I-N. Right. And they've been doing that for years. I saw them quite a few times. I know they had a residency out in uh Las Vegas at um I want to say it was Planet Hollywood? I think it was Planet Hollywood, yeah. Michelle Douglas.

SPEAKER_09 39:59

Hey Michelle.

SPEAKER_03 40:02

SPEAKER_10 40:15

If I had to guess, I would say yes. She is definitely a huge part of the Purple family, and she partakes in a lot of the events. I've been watching. Planet Hollywood. Yeah, Planet. Yeah, they're still a Planet Hollywood. Wow, they've been there for years because I saw them. I saw Purple Rain of Planet Planet Hollywood, like God. I want to say 10 years ago or more. Yeah. When Prince was alive, they were doing a show.

SPEAKER_06 40:44

Wow, okay.

SPEAKER_10 40:53

David Letterman show. Um I saw him at Harris Cherokee Casino once. I've seen them quite a few times. They're really good.

SPEAKER_08 41:04

And that's an and that their whole show is Prince Song. So I was like, well, how are they doing it?

SPEAKER_10 41:10

Yeah. Yeah, they have like a Prince impersonator and the whole band thing, like the revolution. And then they also have a band that impersonates Morris Day in the Time. Oh, we lost time here for a second.

unknown 41:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 41:29

Are you back?

SPEAKER_08 41:31

Yeah. I don't see you. Can you see me or hear me?

SPEAKER_10 41:35

I can hear you, but I can't see you. I've got like a black black screen for you.

SPEAKER_08 41:39

Yeah, I have a black screen for you too.

SPEAKER_10 41:42

Really?

SPEAKER_08 41:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 41:44

Maybe try going out and coming back in and see if that helps.

SPEAKER_08 41:47

Okay. Okay. Alright, I'll do that. Okay, bye.

SPEAKER_10 41:50

Okay. Anyway, the one and only Tanya D. Harris. She should be back in just a second. Yeah. As I was explaining, that tribute band does Prince. They also do Morris Day in the Time, and they also do uh Vanity Six, um aka Apollonia Six as well. Anyway, I'm not gonna play any music right now. Wait for uh Tanya to come back and see if we can uh pick up where we left off. And I think she is back. She's back audio kind of choppy. Can you hear me?

SPEAKER_08 42:44

Yes, chop choppy, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 42:47

Okay.

unknown 42:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 42:48

But I can hear you.

SPEAKER_10 42:50

Yeah. Yeah, I was just talking about uh the tribute band, uh Purple Rain. They all they do Prince and then do Morris Day in the Time, and they also have a group that does Vanity Six as well.

SPEAKER_08 43:01

Exactly. So the triple threat. We'll see what happened if they get shut down or not.

SPEAKER_09 43:08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 43:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 43:14

All right. Anyone else hanging out in the green memory? Double check and make sure. So, yep. Anything else going on with you, Purple Wise?

SPEAKER_08 43:23

Um uh let's see. I'm gonna, well, for celebration, I'm not going for the whole celebration. I'm just gonna wait till I think it comes out tomorrow, the individual concerts. I'm just probably doing a concert or two, something like that. Yeah, it's pricey. It's pricey.

SPEAKER_10 43:42

It is pricey, and I'm still on the fence. I don't think I'm gonna do the actual celebration events um at Paisley. I think I'm gonna be in Minneapolis as I tell everybody else to do. Be in Minneapolis and just be there amongst the people, you know.

SPEAKER_08 44:00

Exactly. That's what I always do.

SPEAKER_10 44:03

Yeah, do all of the other events like the block party.

SPEAKER_08 44:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 44:07

And yeah, all of the shows that are going on across town.

SPEAKER_08 44:10

Right, exactly. That's what I'm gonna do. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 44:13

Yeah. Hopefully, uh hopefully uh First Avenue would do something.

SPEAKER_08 44:18

Yeah, because I didn't see that they were doing something, unless the concerts well, usually the concerts are at Paisley Park. Or at first I mean last year they were at first. Well the the last time I went, it was at some of the concerts were at First Avenue, some at Paisley. It just depends, I guess. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 44:37

And they have a few things going on at places like um like Dakota and Bunkers and some of those places.

SPEAKER_08 44:46

Yeah, I really want to see bunkers. I've never been to Bunkers. I got it. Okay, we gotta go.

SPEAKER_10 44:53

Yeah, I was when I was in Minneapolis, I I was trying to cram everything into just a few days, and I never made it to Bunkers or the Dakota or any of those places.

SPEAKER_08 45:04

Okay, yeah. I the Dakota I've been to for Shelby. I like it because you can get you can eat, you know, have your little dinner and watch the show.

SPEAKER_10 45:13

Right.

SPEAKER_08 45:14

So it's nice, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 45:16

Yeah, so that's my plan just to be there, man, amongst the the purple people. And you know, you can actually have conversations about Prince without anybody thinking you're weird.

SPEAKER_08 45:28

Right, right. Exactly, exactly.

SPEAKER_10 45:30

You know, because your average person, you can't have a meaningful Prince conversation with them.

SPEAKER_08 45:35

Right. They're like, okay, all right, let's talk about a caller here, let's see. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 45:56

Uh let me see if I can get you on. One second. Um can you can you hear, Tanya? Can you hear the voice coming through?

SPEAKER_08 46:17

No, I can't.

SPEAKER_10 46:19

Say hello. What about now, Tanya?

SPEAKER_08 46:25

I can't hear it. I can't hear anything.

SPEAKER_10 46:28

I knew I was gonna have to get the technical difficulties.

SPEAKER_08 46:33

I got the my mic is on. I'm just checking all the bottoms.

SPEAKER_10 46:41

Oh, I think Yeah, I can hear you. I'm just dealing with some technic technical difficulties right now, but uh don't don't go.

SPEAKER_09 46:48

Don't go.

SPEAKER_08 46:49

Oh, what did I do? Um okay, let me get out of here. I hit something. Uh oh. Hello.

SPEAKER_09 47:01

Are you gone again?

SPEAKER_08 47:02

Um, I'm trying to get oh, I don't know what I hit.

SPEAKER_10 47:13

All right, go ahead, call her.

SPEAKER_07 47:25

I just want to call you. I just wanted to call you for the birthday memory, right? Like all of the family is going on today.

SPEAKER_10 47:39

All right, I'm I'm doing this the old school way. I've got I have to do this before because I've had technical technical difficulties in the past, but I've got the actual phone up to the microphone, so hopefully everybody can hear.

SPEAKER_07 47:51

Okay, no problem.

SPEAKER_10 47:52

Anyway, can I get your name again? Where are you calling from?

SPEAKER_07 47:56

Yes, this is Angie, and I'm calling from Illinois.

SPEAKER_10 48:01

Well, thanks for calling, Angie. Uh anything you want to share with us tonight?

SPEAKER_07 48:06

Um yes, I was just calling in as I was saying uh saying how to tiny as well. Uh mentioned we had hung out last year at the gold party. Um so that was a great time. And looking forward to the celebration this year, and I agree it's a bit pricey uh this year, um, but still want to be in the purple mecca.

SPEAKER_10 48:32

Absolutely. Was that the event that the purple genealogy put on last year, Minneapolis?

SPEAKER_07 48:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was nice.

SPEAKER_10 48:41

Yeah, yeah. Tanya was my uh correspondent last year, and she took some video footage of me live as it was happening. That was awesome last year.

SPEAKER_07 48:49

I remember that. I remember that. Uh Tanya and I so you did that and dancing uh with several people uh there. I mean it was a great yeah.

SPEAKER_10 49:05

I was wondering if they were gonna do that again this year because it was really nice.

SPEAKER_07 49:09

I believe last year was the final one. I could be wrong, but you would have to know she's gonna think last year was the final one, or maybe because this is going to be the 10-year celebration, and we you know, our expectations is that this one is gonna be spectacular, um, and making sure that everyone would be able to attend it. So uh that may be the reason.

SPEAKER_10 49:37

Gotcha. Yeah, it was really nice yesterday. Last year I remember seeing Martin Kimber and um Damon and uh gosh. The mayor was there.

SPEAKER_07 49:48

The mayor, yes. Uh the party was great over there as well. So I had a great time.

SPEAKER_10 49:57

And the merch, the merch was awesome.

SPEAKER_07 50:00

Yeah. Definitely. So make sure you bring your coins when you come. That's the truth. So you make the vacation.

SPEAKER_10 50:09

Yeah, are you planning to go to celebration again this year or I am, I am.

SPEAKER_07 50:14

I've I've done on the track, off the tracks, uh one-day concert. Um, but it was just fun, just being there in Minneapolis with everyone.

SPEAKER_10 50:25

Okay, yeah, I'm anxious to see uh what they're gonna do with the one they're supposed to make an announcement tomorrow about the uh single-day event tickets.

SPEAKER_07 50:34

Right.

SPEAKER_10 50:35

And see how they split that up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 50:38

Okay. I haven't seen anything. I heard you um mention it earlier uh about First Avenue, but I really haven't seen any being closer to the concert being at First Avenue, so I don't know what's going on with that.

SPEAKER_10 50:54

Yeah, I mean, I was thinking this being the 10-year anniversary that there would be so much going on.

SPEAKER_08 51:00

Right, right.

SPEAKER_10 51:02

But we still don't know. We're what three months away.

SPEAKER_08 51:04

Yeah, they said there's still more to come. Never know what could happen.

SPEAKER_10 51:10

Never know. Well, thank you so much for calling. I really appreciate it. Thanks for joining in.

SPEAKER_07 51:16

Okay, thank you. I'll continue to listen.

SPEAKER_10 51:18

Yeah, thank you. Have a good night. I don't know what happened with my with my audio. This has happened before. I thought I had all this stuff worked out, but you know, sometimes you gotta go old school, right?

SPEAKER_08 51:34

But yeah, when you did that, I could hear her. I don't know if she heard me, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 51:39

Yeah, yeah, that's true. She probably didn't hear you, maybe she did.

SPEAKER_08 51:44

Okay, yeah, but like like they said, Paisley Park said there's more to come, so more to come.

SPEAKER_10 51:52

Yeah, I want to know what more to come means exactly.

SPEAKER_03 51:55

Yes, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 52:00

I am all plugged in. Bluetooth is good. I don't get it.

SPEAKER_08 52:05

Oh it's just technology sometime.

SPEAKER_10 52:08

That's the joy of going live, and you never know what's gonna happen. We're gonna make it work though.

SPEAKER_08 52:15

Yep. Yeah. So I think um they had what and um at Paisley today, they had the something day and then something night. Yeah, they're doing that today. Yeah, today, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 52:32

Didn't they? They had a candlelight visual earlier, right? Or they're gonna do it tonight.

SPEAKER_08 52:36

I think the candlelight is tonight, but then they have something in the day, like a remembrance or something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 52:43

Yeah. Yeah, I saw where uh Mr. Christopher from Funkatope was gonna do the candlelight visual tonight down at the bridge.

SPEAKER_08 52:50

Right, okay, okay, cool.

SPEAKER_10 52:53

And uh I think um Alfonso Starr is also in town.

SPEAKER_08 52:58

Oh, okay. I didn't oh I thought yeah, I didn't know he was coming for this. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 53:03

Yeah, I don't know if he's doing anything or or DJing or anything like that. I think he was just down at the bridge doing a live uh on Facebook.

SPEAKER_03 53:12

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_10 53:13

And he was talking about um his uh set coming up in June, June 7th. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 53:22

And I think that's at the green room, and the green room is cool. I saw uh St. Paul and the funk all stars there. It's really cool.

SPEAKER_10 53:29

Okay. The green room. Um I think Martin Kimber is doing something there again.

SPEAKER_08 53:36

Exactly, yeah, yeah. It's gonna be exciting.

SPEAKER_10 53:41

Yeah, those of you who don't know Martin Kimber is, I've talked about him on the show before. Hopefully, I can get him on the show someday. But he is a former member of Color Me Bad, and he does um French shows and he does George Michael shows. Really great voice. Good guy.

SPEAKER_06 54:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 54:04

Um what else do we have? I think that's all I've got. I'm just gonna hang out here a few, and uh, if you've if you gotta go, you can go.

SPEAKER_08 54:18

I'm good. I'm all yeah. I just because of the times change, I was like, wait, it's eight. So I was all mixed up. But I got my hair done, I made it in, so I'm good. I'm gonna get I'm gonna just be right back. I'm gonna get some water.

SPEAKER_09 54:32

Okay, sure. No problem.

SPEAKER_08 54:34

I got the water. Okay, I'm back.

SPEAKER_06 54:38

All right, okay.

SPEAKER_10 54:57

I think I might have solved my own problem.

SPEAKER_06 54:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 55:03

I think because I had the uh source for my music open as the call came in, it interfered with the audio from the phone call. So if I would have had that music source closed, right? You solve your own problem a little too late. So we're just vibing out to some more Prince music. Can you hear this music coming through our case? This is an alternate version of a thousand hugs and kisses. So have we ever talked about any Prince concerts that you might have gone gone to in your lifetime?

SPEAKER_08 55:59

Um remember, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_10 56:05

How many how many concerts have you been to?

SPEAKER_08 56:08

Um probably okay. I saw Purple the when Purple Rain that the concert was out. I saw that twice. Right. That's a funny story. And then I saw um was that coming to America, and I was in at Madison Square Garden. Yeah, welcome to America. And he had uh Misty Copeland, and I was like, because you know, as a dancer, I was like, oh my gosh, who is this woman? You know, and she's so graceful and doing her little dancing with him. And I saw that twice.

unknown 56:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 56:44

And then when he was with Third Eye Girl, he was going to like these little venues, like intimate venues. And I was living in Phoenix at the time, and um he came to one of the little venues out here in Phoenix, and what is the name of it? Uh it'll come to me. Uh I can see it, but anyway, he went to that and I was like everybody was standing, but I was like the second row standing. Yeah, and I feel like like Prince, you see me. And yeah, so that was the third eye girl, and that that band was good.

SPEAKER_09 57:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 57:22

So those were the times I saw him.

SPEAKER_10 57:26

Okay, nice. Yeah, um during the um the third eye girl tour was probably 2013, 2014, something like that.

SPEAKER_08 57:37

Exactly I saw him 2013 because I remember um I just was like April 2013.

SPEAKER_09 57:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 57:47

Yes, because I I was getting my car in the next month, and I was looking at cars because I had kind of been, I said I'm gonna stay in Arizona, and I was like, okay, I'm gonna get a car and all that. And I remember I was looking at cars, and the concert was in April, and I had got my car the next month, May. Okay, nice in 2013. Okay, yeah, that was that was the last time I saw him. Wow.

SPEAKER_10 58:17

Yeah, you saw him more recently than I did. My last Prince concert that I saw was the Welcome to America Tour, and I uh that was in uh 2011, I believe it was.

SPEAKER_08 58:36

Okay, and then he because Madison Square Garden loved him over there, so he added some more shows and it went into 2011. And I was like, Oh, should I stay and go to some more shows? I was like, I can't, I gotta save money. Yeah, I didn't, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 58:51

You know what's funny about that Welcome to America tour? We had no idea that there was an album called Welcome to America.

SPEAKER_08 59:01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_10 59:02

All we knew was the tour, and I'm like, what? Why why is he calling this tour the Welcome to America tour?

SPEAKER_08 59:08

But there wasn't he's probably at some point trying to promote that album that never got released, so exactly because even I think in some shows at the beginning, he did like a song from the album with the with the girls. I I forgot, and he was like, where he's kind of talking and like where you can do this and they something, something in America. I know that's on the album, I forget the song. Yeah, he did that at the concert, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 59:42

And that was a fantastic album. You know, you have to wonder why he didn't release that album, and I'm sure there are tons of other albums that didn't get released, but that was an awesome album. And when I listened to it, yeah, I still listen to it to this day, and wow, why didn't it get released?

SPEAKER_08 59:58

Oh no, that that is good. And there's a song where he sounds like Curtis Mayfield. Yeah, I forget the name of that. So I was like, why? So I don't like Curtis Mayfield. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:09

Definitely influenced by Curtis Mayfield on that album and um Parliament, Funkadelli, George Clinton, and Shelby is all over that album.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:19

Yes, yeah. So yeah, that was a good album.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:25

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:27

That was a good concert, and and that I think in that concert is when you went to LA and he was trying to save the forum. So he did all those concerts at the forum, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:36

Right.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:37

Yeah, that that was that was a good concert, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:41

Oh yeah, that was yeah, that was my last time seeing him. And um I was telling a story a couple nights ago when I was doing a show about uh celebration. Or no, it wasn't celebration, was it? Yeah, I can't remember. There's too many shows. Anyway, I was telling the story of when he came to Atlanta for the final concert. And I debated and debated and debated and debated, and Atlanta's only like four hours from me driving. And uh I said, no, he's probably gonna take this tour all over the country, he's probably gonna come closer like Charlotte. So I'm I'm not gonna go. But if I would have known that would have been his last, I would have been there for sure.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:26

Exactly, exactly. Yeah, that's yeah. I I remember um Funkatopia did kind of did something on the show.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:37

Right.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:38

He had the last show, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:39

Yeah, Mr. Chris Reed, he told about the entire he he went both nights, the first and the second night, and he covered the show from start to finish, man. And when I heard that, I was like, I yeah, I realize now that I should have gone.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:55

Yeah, yes, yeah, that's why like now when I don't go to something, I'm like, oh I get what is that they say, FOMO Fear of Missing Out. I'm like, I should go, you never know.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:10

Yeah, yeah. My first show, and I've told this story on the show many times, was the 1999 tour.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:20

I was back, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:22

I was just a little kid. I was like 14. And um, I'm not gonna go into the whole story about Morris Day walking down the street. If you want to, guys, if you want to see that hear that story, go back to some of my previous episodes. I talk about that in detail, but anyway, that was my first experience. And uh let's see, 1999 three. I seen her about 10 times total, and then I saw him for the 1999. I saw him for the Love Sexy Tour.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:55

Oh, he did. Wow.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:57

And Charlotte, 88, and then gosh, I gotta think about it now. Um uh the jam of the year tour. I I've seen him that whole entire tour was so long, it lasted a couple years. I think I saw the jam in the year tour at least five or six times. Um I kind of chased them around the country. I chased them up and down the east coast at one point. Ah trying to catch all the shows.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:27

Yeah, yeah. It's fun doing that.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:30

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:30

And then they kind of get to know you, and they're like, oh, I saw you at the last show.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:34

Yeah. Yeah. I went to a couple of the after shows from the Jam of the Year tour. Um, I told the story of going to an after show in Atlanta where the Nation of Islam rushed them in, and they were pretty much stampeding over people and people going nuts, girls screaming and crying, and he only stayed in the club for like five minutes and left.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:59

Yeah, got crazy.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:01

Got crazy. And you know, I can I I can't understand what he must have felt like to have so many people staring at him the entire night. And that was only one night. Imagine what that's like on a on a regular basis, you know.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:19

Exactly.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:19

It's a lot, yeah. As shy as he was, I can imagine what that felt like.

unknown 1:04:25

Right, right.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:27

Oh, how did you feel about the new song that came out yesterday?

SPEAKER_10 1:04:32

Um, the tear yeah, yeah, yeah, we're talking about that one earlier. Um with this tear. Yeah, yeah, the slow song. It was released in '91 and later given to Celine Dion. And they released his version on yesterday.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:54

Yeah, I like it. I see people are using it every time I hear I'm like, oh yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:01

Oh, yeah. So hopefully that's a good sign of things to come from the estate.

SPEAKER_08 1:05:06

Exactly. Exactly. Hopefully.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:10

Yeah, I was talking earlier on. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_08 1:05:13

Oh, I was gonna say, and I know that Londell said he wanted to talk to people yesterday, but I didn't hear any more about it.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:20

Yeah, I didn't hear any more about it either. I know that happened yesterday, and he invited the public to come out and ask questions and stuff. Yeah, and I haven't heard anything. I did see one lady that I follow on uh TikTok that was going to go. She lives in Minneapolis, and she wanted to go and ask about the uh piano and a microphone tour being released on audio and video. And her response was it's coming, but I don't know what that means. I don't know if that was an answer for him or not.

SPEAKER_08 1:05:53

Okay. So we just have to wait and see.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:00

It being ten years later.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:04

This would be the perfect time to do it.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:06

Exactly, exactly.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:08

And we've all been to pay well, those of you who have been to Paisley saw it up on the big screen in the um what is that, the um stage area, the concert area where they show all the footage up on the big screen. They showed the footage from piano on the microphone, and it was pristine quality.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:31

I think I saw a little bit of that today from something. Somebody was there and I saw that. I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:43

Yeah, yeah. When I was there back in 2019 or 20 2020, I think it was. Uh the soundstage area was showing it showed about maybe 10 or 15 seconds ago. She's gone again. Oh yeah. Anyway, I'm hoping that they uh it being 10 years later, they will finally release that on DVD.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:10

Exactly. Yeah. So you're gonna try to go down in June, but just to be amongst the people and see the shows.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:23

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. Um probably not I want to check and see what they announce uh tomorrow. Tomorrow, exactly about the single-day event tickets and see how they've got that split up and what the prices are. So if there's one particular thing that I'm interested in, I may partake in that partake in that depending on the price.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:47

Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:49

But if not, my plan is to at least be in Minneapolis with the family.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:54

Exactly. I got you.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:55

All right, um under one big giant purple bubble, and we have so much in common.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:05

Yeah, I I want to see who is Miguel performing by himself, or is he performing with any of the purple the prince bands or anything? So I want to see what Miguel is doing, and yeah, I would like to see that.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:22

Yeah, I'm curious about that as well. I know that he uh he's definitely big time influenced by Prince.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:29

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:30

You can hear it, you can see it.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:31

You know, yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:35

SPEAKER_10 1:17:52

I did, I did.

unknown 1:18:00

I know, I know.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:01

Anybody that had the chance to do so.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:04

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:07

The greatest entertainer that ever walked the earth, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:10

Mm-hmm. And everyone that played with him is good. Cause like when I saw Sheila E, or if I see St. Paul and his band or MPG and their band, I'm like, wow, these guys are good. They are really good.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:28

Oh yeah.

unknown 1:18:33

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:34

Yeah, I remember um in 04 when the musicology tour started. Prince had his uh MPG Music Club. Um, and if you had a membership, you got front row tickets.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:50

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_10 1:18:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:52

Wow. See, I missed all of that.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:55

SPEAKER_08 1:19:11

Oh wow, that is nice, that is really nice.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:16

It was nice and it was loud, it was very loud. We were right by uh one of the big speakers in speakers, yeah. Let's see, Christopher, thanks for joining, Christopher Curry. Appreciate you joining in. Playing all my YouTube jams, anything rare. Oh yeah. We're doing the rare stuff tonight, brother. Trying to stay under the radar of the YouTube cops. Alright, what is this one called here? Uncle Sam. This is Uncle Sam. Um try not to play it too loud so that it it doesn't drown out our conversation, but I'm trying to at least get it high enough where people can actually hear. It's a nice little vibe to have running in the background. Oh man. 10 years doesn't seem like 10 years has passed.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:35

I know, I know. But yeah, like I said, I was I was like a little emotional yesterday, like, oh gosh, I it I remembered this time and what happened and everything. And then you know, everyone was coming on and saying, like, oh, he wouldn't want you to be sad and all that. So I was like, okay, yes, let me play his music, let me do go out and have a good day. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:21:00

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:05

Yeah, I made sure that um I represented well today with my my Prince Bling here.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:12

Yeah, I have on my little lavender and my purple lights. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:20

Not many people said anything because, like I said, you don't meet die hard Prince fans every day, so people just kind of look like nice shirt, you know.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:31

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:32

But uh really they don't understand the meaning behind it. So I had to basically explain today. Some people said something about it, like, oh, you're a prince fan. I like your shirt. Well, thank you. Yeah, I'm a prince fan. You know what today is, right? 10th anniversary.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:53

Okay, yeah, I see your name there, but uh I see nothing but a black screen.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:05

It's one of those other technical difficulties that happen from time to time.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:10

Yeah, see, now I can hear you really clear, whereas before it was like scratchy. Okay, but now that you're clear, you say you can't see me. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, one thing I like about Prince 2 is um the guitar solos.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:35

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:36

Oh, I just get you. Like when I listen to the live concerts and he does his solo. I I even put it on my Instagram. She's always in my hair, and he did like a different version of it, and that guitar solo, I was like, Woo!

SPEAKER_10 1:23:51

Yeah, he's so great. Oh, yeah, he's such an underrated guitar player, man. I don't think he really ever got the accolades that he should have gotten as a guitar player, but he's definitely up there among the greatest.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:05

Exactly. If not the greatest, right, right.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:12

I mean, so versatile, he could play anything.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:15

Yes, yes, you know, you name it, he could play it right, yeah. RB, um, rock, rock, gospel, um alternative, yeah, everything, country, because he did the song for Kenny Rogers, yeah. That was country. Yeah, yeah. Uh that's right. Yeah.

unknown 1:24:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:47

I like when um the bands go on social media and they post about the day, like St. Paul came on and talked about his, you know, Prince and the uh with the day he found out Prince passed, and then Shelby and My Tay were on with um Susanna. Yeah. I like when they come on.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:10

Oh yeah. Yeah, I love to see what everybody else is doing out there. I try to um stay abreast of what Shelby's doing, what um Morris Hayes is doing, um, all of those guys, St. Paul. I mean they're staying busy, is what I like. Yeah, they never stop, you know.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:31

I know, yeah. Even um, what's the other one? Uh, what's her name? Bass player. Is it Brhonda? Bronda.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:58

Oh, yes. I I kind of learned of her later on.

SPEAKER_10 1:26:02

Yeah, yeah. But I know she's I reached out to her recently about coming on the show, but I didn't get a solid response. But she was uh she was she was with Prince during the Jam of the Year tour. Yeah, Rhonda was on on bass.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:20

Yeah, I I even feel like when you listen to her talk, it's like she got bass in her voice. She's like, and you know, and I just it's like a little bass in her voice, yeah. It's so cool.

SPEAKER_10 1:26:32

Yeah, Rhonda is cool.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:34

Oh, I reached out to um Renato Nato. Yes, I sent an email to like tell him to come on the show, but he he didn't I didn't hear back yet, but I did reach out to him. Okay, okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:50

SPEAKER_08 1:27:18

Oh I haven't heard this one either.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:22

Yeah, this is um what did I do? Yeah, this is a live performance.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:30

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:32

It's from an after show uh back in the I want to say late eighties. Real real bluesy.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:50

Yeah, what did I do?

SPEAKER_08 1:27:52

Okay. You got that real deep cut. I haven't heard of these.

unknown 1:27:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:00

I had to go digging deep today to make this uh special.

SPEAKER_08 1:28:06

Yeah, yeah, gotcha.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:14

And at the same time staying protected and safe away from operating.

SPEAKER_08 1:28:22

Exactly. So crazy. I know. I I think that's what happened to fucking Topia um on his the Facebook.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:34

On Facebook, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:28:36

Yeah, he had to make another Facebook page. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:39

Yeah, I know that that really bothered him because he had so many followers on exactly, exactly.

SPEAKER_08 1:28:49

That would kill me too. I'll be like, ugh.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:52

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:28:53

I don't I don't know exactly what happened, but it wasn't good whenever I know because I've I've you know they I've been shut down like maybe on Instagram like a day. Yeah and I I didn't even know what I did, like it was one something, it wasn't even music, I didn't even know what I did, and then the next time was music was um Olivia Dean. I think I did something okay. So it's been a day, but you know, weeks and then months, hard.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:27

Yeah, you know, um speaking of those situations, my original TikTok account was hacked by someone, and I could not get it back, and no matter how hard I tried, I had a lot of followers over on my TikTok account for this podcast, and you know, I had to jump through hoops to gain access to it, uh and it still didn't work, and there's no way of contacting TikTok to get your account unlocked or whatever. So they locked it up, and I had to create a whole new one. Just like oh yeah, slowly rebuilding that.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:10

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:11

That's just another platform. Um YouTube is is still growing, which I'm thankful for. You know, after doing this for a few years, it's finally going where I want it to go. So I can continue to um put out what people want to see and hear and they like it, then hopefully my following will grow. Okay. It's all about sharing and keeping the legacy alive. You know, a lot of people think that I do shows about prints only, but it's it's mainly about prints, yes, but uh also I do like uh tributes to other artists, RB artists, funk artists from back in the day, new and old school.

SPEAKER_08 1:31:02

Okay, yeah, so yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I saw that you had um I forgot who on. I was like, oh, okay, look at that. Okay, yeah. And then you had Robin on, I think. Robin was on, yeah. Yeah, uh-huh.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:22

Yeah, Robin was on. That was my birthday show. She came on for my birthday.

SPEAKER_08 1:31:26

SPEAKER_10 1:31:47

Yeah, Christopher Curry, those after shows are amazing. I've never I I've been to some after parties, but the after parties that I went to, Prince never performed, but um, the ones that I've listened to, they are awesome. In fact, some of the after shows were even better than the concerts.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:06

That's what I heard too.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:08

Yeah, you never knew what he was gonna do.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:10

Right.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:11

It wasn't scripted, there was no set list or nothing. He would just call something out and they would play it.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:18

Exactly. Exactly.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:26

And then I've heard stories about after shows happening and like at the wee hours of the morning, like he'd do a full two, three-hour concert and then show up for an after show at like one or two or three in the morning and play till the sun came up.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:41

Exactly. I was on yeah, I was on Instagram when they did um it was Ruth, his manager, and DJ Rashida. Yeah, and they were talking about 3121 and the after parties and all that. I was like, wow, that sounds great.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:19

Yes, yeah, because it's true. When you love something like that, and then you you're making it and creating it, and you want it right, you will stay up until it's right, you know, because you love doing it.

SPEAKER_10 1:33:34

Oh, yeah. I've I've heard stories from his bandmates, you know, talking about him being down at Paisley Park in the studio at like two or three in the morning, and they'd be at home sleeping, and he'd call them up and say, Hey, I need you down at the studio.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:49

Yeah, that's crazy. Wow. So yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:33:57

SPEAKER_08 1:39:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:39:16

I know I had um gosh, I'm drawing a blank as far as far as her name.

SPEAKER_08 1:39:25

Um yeah, the girl, I I she was last year. I I knew her, I forgot her name. But she was helping me, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:39:33

Yeah, she was out in the rain doing live correspondence for me.

SPEAKER_08 1:39:37

Yeah, I saw that.

SPEAKER_10 1:39:38

Yeah. Yeah, that should be a whole lot of fun. Anxiously awaiting to see over the next few months um what the plans are for other places throughout Minneapolis. Hopefully uh the block party is not all we're gonna get, you know.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:25

Right, right. Yeah. Did well have you ever seen when they did like Prince is on the screen and then the band is playing? I kind of like that a lot.

SPEAKER_10 1:40:37

Oh, oh, I missed that, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:39

That's oh, that's so good.

SPEAKER_10 1:40:42

Yeah, they did that a few years ago at the Target Center, I believe.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:45

Yeah, I wish they'd do that again because I I didn't get to see that at the big arena, but I got to see it when it was um MPG and Maite dance, and so Prince was in the back, and I forget what tour that was, but it was when he did Thunder All Through the Night. Okay, okay, and she was dancing and it was MPG, and he was like in the back, and then they're playing along, and then she was dancing. It was so good, it was so good, like an actual concert. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:19

I can imagine, man. I I wanted to be there for that one, but yeah, and you know, ticket prices were a lot cheaper then, so looking at yeah, it was like we were coming out of COVID, yeah, and it was a little cheaper, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:41:35

Yeah.
