Krystal - haven't heard from you for a while. But I haven't forgotten about your request. Ready for another Prince fact mc nugget?

According to Robin, "The Kid" to Prince represented the more spiritual side of himself. He created another character that represented the other more worldly nasty side of himself. Who do you think this character is?

artpal! I LOVE the music to the Teacher too! I love funk style of music it is my favorite gene of music! I really liked the keyboards too! I mean I REALLY liked it! Did you come up with that sound on the keyboards? Nothing against Carmen Electra or anything but I REALLY wished Prince would have focused on you girls instead. I mean you guys were very talented! And I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I think Robin while not the most talented rapper would have made a fab frontwoman for the Dames with her sex appeal and strength! You should REALLY consider reforming the Dames! You are a very talented group of women!

P.S. I'm curious when you said the Prince was ragging on you girls for your music, looks, ect. What kind of things did he say?

Hi Krystal! Long time no see! This is a fun thread- will .Org note you!

Sure Krystal, there are more stories to come.

But first a musical break. Check out the next tune "The Teacher." Yes, this is the one Prince liked a lot. It's just the instrumental version (Robin was saving her voice for the gig) but she did mention our names at the end (except Alisa the singer). This is the song that backed a rap Prince wrote. I'll tell you a detailed story later.

I only wish our computer speakers could handle the bass tones better cuz I can't seem to hear Joanie's bass. That's too bad cuz she started this song. I would recommend you download this song and play it in your stereo or anything that can handle bass tones.

I'm finding everyone's feedback to be extremely valuable, so please do me a favor and let me know what you think. Especially you non-musicians; sometimes we musicians live in our own world and don't know what's up anymore (including Prince). Thanks!

Me, Joanie, and Kimberly at rehearsal. This is the only photo I have in the Paisley sound stage. We were later moved to rehearse in an outside facility.

Would that be a) Morris Day b) Bob George or c)'Gemini'?
*lol*
Hiya Artpal- haven't been round in while, but was pleased to be able to hear some Dames on Garage Band. You could reform as just The Uptown Dames.... (?)
Do you guys at least live in somewhat of a proximity to each other?

Hey ScarletteP, I was wondering where you were too!

The answer is Morris Day. Prince feels he has two sides - the spiritual one and the worldly/bad boy one. Do do see that conflict myself. He does acknowledge the bad boy in himself and his spiritual side is trying to fight that.

I heard a rumor that due to his recent Jehovah Witness beliefs, he has made up with a lot of the people he pissed off in the past.

Morris is actually a very shy guy, according to Robin. I guess he's a good actor.


As far as the Dames are concerned, we live in MN, DC, Philly, Tennessee... and I have searched unsuccessfully for other lost Dames and I don't know where else they are. To get them together, I'd have to pay to search for them and fly em in to play together. I have a little more money these days than I did 14 years ago and there is the internet. Still thinkin about this.

And oh - Scarlette - I posted "New Little Girl" for you at http://www.garageband.com...aSkZlW1Y2w

You will see that it is WAY different from the Dames music. People seem to either really love it or really hate it. This garageband thing is really interesting.

You know what is funny? I always suspected Prince was more Morris Day that Morris Day was! artpal you are a fan's wet dream!

p.s.- I love the lyrics & arrangement for 'Woman's Touch'. I'm not in love with Robin's rapping (too many words for her natural timing/annuciation/delivery), but kudos to her for trying to make it work (Also, I do realize it's a demo- plain & simple it was darn cool to hear!). I wish somebody would do something with WT. Who wrote the lyrics & who wrote the music?

co-sign on both

Nope. Nope. Nope.

It's someone much more famous. So famous, even nerds like me would know her.

Kim Basinger?
