I saw him on the 'Piano & A Microphone' tour six weeks before he died and it was unbelievable. He couldn't walk and wheeled himself out to the stage to the piano. Yet he played for close to two hours, seemingly making up the set list the whole way. It was magical. I was grateful to get to see him perform four times, all wildly different shows. I'm still, eight years after his death, unable to write about him, because it always feels so lacking in how much I want to say....one day I'll get there.
Incredible! And I almost didn’t write this piece because I thought it was going to be an insurmountable challenge. It almost was. I think it took me a month and a bit to get this piece where I wanted it. I’m hoping I did it some justice.
Definitely did it justice. It helps to have a single song to narrow the focus on. But if you know me at all, you know that doesn’t stop me from veering off wildly in all directions! Deep bows to the Purple Prince.

Yessir!
If anyone wants to see the real Prince Roger Nelson in action, I will for certain direct them to this film and album unlike any others.
It's the only place to start.
His Purple Majesty forever reigns.
