Whatever Happened to Matt Blisten, AKA "Atlanta Bliss"?

Does anyone know? He was a great trumpeter and added to the horn sound in the late 80's. What's he been up to??? You would think that, being such a close friend of Eric's, he'd be still working on music. He'd make a great addition to fDeluxe too!

Hehehe...soon they'll be an announcement he got married or works for another musician just like what happened with Bria after people asked what happened!

Is he not part of the current line up for Montreux? They have about 22 players...some of whom used to work for P in the past such as The Hornheadz...

Still doesn't answer the question, does it? And we're still wondering.....

Maybe St.Paul should add him to the sax of Eric Leeds on the next fDeluxe line-up (what happened to Jerome anyway???) and the group could have their own "mini Hornhedz" section.

Maybe it's worth asking Fdeluxe or Wendy and Lisa....they may know.

According to Eric Leeds Atlanta wanted to focus on his family and resume a "normal" life so he quit Prince's band and the music industry at the same time. Regarding his later professional activities, some have said here that he is now a music teacher but IDK what their source is, it would make sense, though.

I soooooo wish Dye Got The Answers 2 ur ?'s would interview him!!! biggrin
