I seriously doubt he will be 'allowed' to do this, but if so:

Who came up with the bassline for "Chelsea Rogers"? Yourself? Prince? Larry? What songs did you actually play on the Planet Earth album? Thanks!!

When Prince gets pissed at Cora during rehearsals or even a show, do you feel like going over and smacking him down?smile Kidding.

Seriously, pls share some memories of that Saturday Night Live performance. It's regarded very very highly around here.

Can you name three bass players that inspire you? Why those three?

When you have those shows and you feel so "On" (in a most remarkable way), what factors existed to make it such an amazing performance?

What is the most important thing you've learned with your time with Prince. Both Professionally/(Musical) and Personally.

God Bless!

Man I've been talking dude up here since he 1st got w/P. I had a chance to meet him on the tour w/Tamar. Real cool brotha.He's already answered my ?'s so here's a few that others may want to hear about.

Josh how do you think you fit into the legacy of Prince bass players?

Has your role changed much since the tour w/Tamar? More or less?

What has been most musically challenging since playing with Prince?

As a musician yourself, how would u rate Prince?

Does Prince give u guys the freedom 2 wear anything u want? Everyone that plays with him is always dressed so stylish?

Prince has always had the best of musicians surrounding him, so when you’re not working 4 him, are u on stand-by since he is a spur-of-the moment type of guy who will show up playing when u least expect him?

If you got a chance on your days off between shows in the UK to go visit places, where was the best place in or out of London you went?
