What's up with this "Prince Rogers Trio" thing?

I read the story on Dr FB about Bria coming back to MPLS but what really got me was that there's some entertainment courtesy of The Prince Rogers Trio? I wonder what that's all about? Read below.

http://www.drfunkenberry.com

We got this purple news on our lap and we are going to share! The note reads:

2 WHOMEVER IT MAY CONCERN…ELIGIBLE BACHELORS IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA WILL HAVE 2 MOVE 2 MINNESOTA IF THEY HAVE THEIR EYE ON MISS VALENTE…SHE HAS MOVED BACK 2 THE PLACE OF HER BIRTH 4 GOOD. HER FAMILY IS OVERJOYED AND PLANNING A BIG HOMECOMING PARTY 4 THE END OF AUGUST.ENTERTAINMENT WILL B PROVIDED BY THE PRINCE ROGERS TRIO. THIS WASN’T HER 1ST CHOICE BUT IT WAS ALL SHE COULD AFFORD IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES.

Wow. Even proteges are feeling the heat in this economy. And a performance by the Prince Rogers Trio? Well you know that MPLS sound can’t be beat…..!-Dr.FB

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

The Prince Rogers Trio was the name of Prince's fathers band (he was named after the band)... he probably just reclaimed it

But why did he reclaim this name? To me, I'm thinking that there may be another "New Power Trio" thing going on here.

OK, so assuming this came from Prince (or Morris)...

Prince either wants it known that he and Bria R not together, or he's messing with folks.

The line about The Prince Rogers Trio not being her first choice could be read several ways, but it sounds like humour. It's just that Prince has a very clever way with what I call half jokes... Humour based on something actual.

That's such a cute advertisement and nice pics. Anyway, who cares that he's using that name, lol as long as it's with qualified musicians backing him up. Does sound like a jazz trio though. Leave it to Prince, always changing up and keeping things mysterious.

Who do you think the two musicians will be performing with him? Rhonda and John Blackwell? I wonder if Bria will be singing and the trio will back her up or like some of you state, a possible wedding ceremony this weekend.

End of August, meaning this weekend obviously. Hope you have your Prince funds saved up in case he invites some fans. Good luck though! dancing jig

I agree. I think he is trying to throw folks off. I heard that he is now living in Minne and has bought property.

I heard the same except the part about property. Cool stuff either way.

I think so too. Like some here said, maybe a possible wedding or engagement celebration. That report leaves enough room for speculation.

Maybe it will be 3 different sets of the same musicians they used, like they did in LA, for those shows?

I was thinking they were referring to Minneapolis as not being her first choice, but of course you're correct. That's funny lol
Ya know, the note does sound slightly bitchy. "Hey fellas, Bria is in town so get ready for some work out! And since she ain't getting paid anymo' she'll have to do with the Trio. evillol "

Or yeah, it's more like "Hey get ready to drool after a new babe in town, but you ain't getting lucky 'cause she's mine and she ain't goin' nowhere!"

Or... yeah I should probably log off lol
