{{{Episode 203 of Ernest Experience Radio Show will be airing a brand new interview w/ keyboardist for The Time, Monte Moir. Monte Moir has been a singer, songwriter and producer since the early ’80s, where he began his career as part of a local band called Flyte Tyme.}}} Flyte Tyme later became the core of the innovative R&B group, The Time, which helped define the ‘Minneapolis Sound’ of the ’80s, and under the early direction of Prince, ended up becoming one of the most innovative and often-imitated R&B bands of the ’80s. Rolling Stone magazine once called The Time “the funkiest band in America,” and in 1983 the group was nominated for an American Music Award.

Monte was one of the original members of The Time, along with Morris Day, Jellybean Johnson, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson and Jimmy Jam. The band has toured on and off through the years in the U.S. as well as Europe and Japan. In 1995 The Time took to the road again and have been welcomed back by a wide and loyal audience. Monte has written and produced many songs for various artists, including Janet Jackson and Gladys Knight, and recently completed his first solo CD, This Side of Paradise. And yes, the fellas are back! Morris, Jerome, Jellybean and Monte have been touring on and off for the past couple of years all around the world. They also have some new additions to the band, Freeze on bass, Tori on guitar, and Chance on keyboards. Monte's plans include assembling a band and touring in support of the new CD as well as writing and recording a second CD.

In the interview, Monte answers questions like what happened to the Corporate World CD? Just how much input did Prince have on all the Time albums? Why did he leave The Time when rehearsals for Purple Rain had already started? What does he think of Prince's "The Rainbow Children"? Have there been tracks recorded for a new The Time album? Will there be a new The Time CD soon?.....plus a lot more.

The interview will also showcase 4 new tracks from the Monte's new CD This Side Of Paradise, including "On My Way Home", "For Want and Desire", "I'm The One Who Loves You", the title track, plus possibly more.

Coool!
I'm glad Monte had his site redesigned! Looks waaay better.

And I'm digging the Lovesexy letters for Dr. Fink's banner on your site!

And the questions, THOSE are the questions that should to be asked!

Imagine all the stories Monte, Dr. Fink, Jerome, Morris, Jellybean have...

Thanks!

One thing I've been fortunate to have is a good dialogue w/ Matt Fink. He's such a normal guy (as is Monte), and he's just as funny as quirky as you might suspect from his one liner in Purple Rain. I consider it a priviledge to be able to just call Fink up and chat w/ him (which I do about twice a week or so). And yes he's told a few stories about just about anything, without me even prodding him. But at the same time, we could take an hour and not even mention Prince once. But unfortunately the stories I know about will stay with me. Just know that the Revolution people and most others are pretty cool people overall.

Thanks for listening and be sure to check the Monte interview.
