Well now, I decided to add some Prince music that I feel fits well in the Jazz genre. His music was superb no matter what he was playing. The song selected is from the Album "Piano and a Microphone." It's a little bluesy, but listen closely to how he plays the melody and chords. I played the album for several days so I could get into what he presented. I've have other Prince music, but this was done in his house in 1983 and not released until after his death. He opened the door to his soul so we could take it in. I told you earlier that I listen to other music and if it's good, well I'm going to play it.

OK, did you dig it? Were you right there with him? Just think what a driving bass and simple drumming could add to that piece. Prince dominates with his whole being. It's just friggin awesome. Somehow I suspect that his female admirers would have been into the song as well. In the event it didn't get your motor running go to the doctor and make sure you're not dead. I can say things like because I'm at the age where there is no need to hold back any longer. You still with me?
