Mazarati...now that I would love to see! Damn!

GSharp, will you be leaving your ego at the door?


If you knew how much "ego" is required to not only stand on a lit stage in front of TWO people let alone thousands, and to be commanding and entertaining, as well as to do this totally sober and drug-free, you wouldn't ask that stupid assed question...

Doesn't take much "ego" to sit in a cubicle for eight hours, or deliver Dominoes...does it?

If I left my "ego at the door", it wouldn't be much reason to show up, would it?

See ya at the gig...you can thank me later...

In reply to the "lame alias"...
I was labled, "GSHARP" by Terry Casey and dug it...however, when motown was doing the liner notes, Maz's manager said I would have a greater chance of getting more work in writing and production if I used my real name.

Fast forward: Grammy. I toured with Jimmie Vaughan, and won a Grammy for writing on his last album, "Do You Get The Blues?"

GSHARP IS the name I am most noted for in the music performance world, and since it doesn't matter to me about any business affiliation to Prince, I haven't sought to totally associate myself to him professionally, since all of my musical successes were apart form him, his camp, and Minneapolis. (which is probably why our relationship is sound; I don't want anything from him...)

I am an accomplished businessman as well as musician, but It always has been and always be about freedom of choice; something that is rare in the Purple Kingdom...

Fair enough dude, my response was more out of pique towards the "rude" comment than any real thoughts about you. I didn't really mean that "lame" remark. I've heard nothing but good things about the Combo over the years, and I'm sure you put on a great show.

However, I think maybe you should tone down the selfpromtion a bit: That Grammy you "won"? You may have played on/written some of the material on that album, but your name isn't on that trophy, and I'd be shocked it's in your possession either. How would Jimmie feel about you taking credit for his win? And you're accomplished business is in some sort of get-rich-quick internet marketing scheme? HA!


If you had been able to stay up on a school night in 2001, you would have seen Jimmie AND ME on stage accepting the G's...and that self promotion is backed by years of hard work, which most "musicians" don't do or understand...If no one "self promoted" this show would fail...and because of this "self promotion", hundreds of people who never knew me before, will show up just to talk more shit about me on June 6th! everybody wins, right? I get paid, you get dazzled, and the promoter gets paid as well...win-win-win...btw...there's no such thing as get rich quick, just quicker than you...

Haha. You are a funny guy, I'll give you that.

I'm pretty sure I did watch the Grammys in 2001, and you might have been up there, but that doesn't invalidate my point. Your name isn't on that trophy.

Re the Dominoes comment, I think you'd know better.

A bit of humility wouldn't hurt you. And for that bit of advice, you can thank me later.

Not trying to crush your hopes, but I wouldn't expect him there at all. They said "very special guests" last year and he wasn't there. Nothing against Princey Poo but I didn't miss him, because it was a great performance!
B-Sharp stole the show. He sang lead most of the night and amazed me with his cover of 'The Beautiful Ones' and 'DMSR'. I probably have to be in FL, but will try to be there this year.
(Have fun Megan from D'Amico EP ! Hope to see you there- Xtian)

A note to the bands: please sell some live CD's, I love them- esp a CD of last year's show!


Trust me, I'm not expecting Prince to show up. We all know how that goes. lol But I heard it was a great performance, even without Prince being there. nod

I know you're not, but I know a lot of fans who show up just to see if Prince shows and aren't there for the bands. The show was great last year and hope you all make it this time. I've seen many of the past band members around Mpls over the years and it's great to see them together on one stage.

nod Agreed, a lot of fans will go to this, just hoping to get a glimpse of Prince. From what I hear, the show last year was excellent. It definitely is nice to see them all together again. woot!
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

This sounds good, but I'm a little suspcious of a couple of those folks listed as having worked with Prince: Donnie LaMarca? G Sharp ? When and where did that happen? I've never heard of either one of them.


This is GSHARP...Set your mind at ease...I toured with Prince as his opening act on the D&P Tour with Carmen Electra in MY band...That band included my best friend, Morris Hayes who came to Mpls. at my request to help me whip Mazarati into shape! (that's right, I was in that band too on the second album; I sang half of the songs) Morris and I also produced Margie Cox's single, "Standing At the Altar" along with Prince...Also had you been a REAL Prince fan, you would know that I'm one of the few people who doesn't need "clearance' to hang out with Prince! LOL
Also, out of all of the people on this reunion show, I'm one of maybe 3 who has won a Grammy...Not an AMA, not a Minneapolis Music Award, but a Grammy...With that said, come to the show, and prepare for me to show you why whenever Prince jams, he calls ME to the stage... I'm the Greatest...I'm Pretty...I don't have a mark on my face, I SHOOK UP THE WORLD!!! I MUST be the Greatest! I'm so good, I might take up collection in the middle of the show! wink


He's a great singer. I'm a friend of Paul Peterson's and before staying at his place last time I was in town we dropped into Bunkers where G was performing a brilliant version of ... if memory serves me correct Journey's Open Arms to the music (??) of Purple Rain, complete with all the Prince movies. It was great, very funny but extremely enjoyable.

I'd be careful ... Eric Leeds has a Grammy at his house for Kiss and he didn't play on it but was in the band. Make sure you are sure before mouthing off OK?

Who the heck was talking to you? I said I'd be surprised if he had it, not that he definitely didn't. One thing I am sure of, however, is that his referring to himself as Grammy winner is a massive stretch of the truth. I guess that's to be expected for someone who runs the sort of internet scam that he does, but I still think he should be called on it.

Call him on it somewhere else. This thread is meant to be respectful to the artists and in the spirit of fun.
