@pianoman: your "Purple Rain" theory is interesting, but a stretch too far, for me. I'll listen again, but the song has never struck me as having a particular Roxy influence.

"" I'd be interested to learn if Prince and Bryan exchanged pleasantries last night.

J'OB, can you confirm or deny?""


As much ad I would have loved to have been there, I wasn't.

J.O'B.

I didn't think for a moment that you were present. Just thought you may have heard something via BFHQ.

Haven't heard anything at all.

J.O'B.

If the AFKAP actually spent time recording a track at BF's studio, I would be amazed if BF wasn't present for at least some portion of the session. After all, if Prince comes to your studio you make it a point to (at the very least) extend him a warm welcome. But given TAFKAP's proclivity for privacy maybe not....

TAFKAP could be a little more imaginative and dig a bit deeper into the BF/Roxy catalog that MTT. I would enjoy hearing a version of Stronger Through the Years with TAFKAP whipping out a Purple Rain style guitar solo. If you've never seen his take on While My Guitar Gently Weeps it is definitely worth a listen (he handles the outro...)

According to a guy on the Prince forum, who was at the gig, Bryan left after only half an hour:

Perhaps Monsieur Windswept's theory about our hero needing to finish his homework holds water after all.
