Wow! I was a big Prince fan when Purple Rain released. That album was awesome. He kind of faded away from me over the years after that but still put out some hits. My Wife will be a little in shock. She is a HUGE Prince fan.

Just a couple of weeks ago I was watching a recent Prince concert on You Tube. His latest backing group is called ThirdEyeGirl. They've been playing with him for several years. Not only are these three gals wildly talented, they're gorgeous. The guitar player is from Canada. The bass player is from Denmark. The drummer, Hannah Welton-Ford, was born, raised, and began her training in............................Louisville, Ky. I suspect they're all devastated by the news. They all seemed to have tremendous chemistry with Prince.

They had her story on the local news here a few years ago.

Prince had another connection to Louisville: he once made a large secret donation to help keep the library's Western Branch open.
