Thank you. The first volume covers 1983-84 and the 220+ sessions during that period. Doing the final formatting tweaks this week and then the publisher has it and starts gearing up for the release in November.

Again, thank you for your support on this. If this does well, I will be creating more volumes. I've already started drafting up the 1985-86 sessions for book 2.

You're welcome! I'm looking forward to this book

What is your point/ Right now she is holding on to stuff. She knew Prince for almost 40 years, was a band mate, a musical director and a talent scout for him for years. Why is it okay for ex-wives who not been on the scence for 20 years to write a book and discuss personal stuff but not Sheila E. Who was discussing her relationship with him long before he passed and has been nothing but respectful considering how she got treated.

She is a musician making an actual living by working something that cannot be said about other people.

I wouldn't expect Sheila to delve deeper into their relationship than she already has with another book. I would really be interested in hearing from:

Jill

Andre

Morris

Alan Leeds

Jerome

Don't rule Sheila out. If she can make a buck, she will.

DAVE: It has been reported that you put aside a more traditional (dance) album in order to bring this project to life. And, in the year leading up to this album, you released a touchingly beautiful single that you wrote in tribute to Prince entitled, “Girl Meets Boy”. Not fitting the ideal context of a record like this, do you think it may one day find a permanent home on another album of yours?

SHEILA: The dance record will come out in the near future, although somewhat different than originally planned. However, the song “Girl Meets Boy” is part of another album set that I don’t know if or when I will release. It was written as a memoir of sorts to a person whom I loved deeply and lost too soon. I’m not sure if those memoirs will remain between just him and I, or if it’s something meant for everyone. Right now I feel as if those songs are sacred to us, something I have left that’s just ours. Maybe one day I’ll be ready to let go and release the full album. Until then, I’ll just hold on a little longer.
