Since it seems we r telling how long we have been a fan, let me add too.

I cant remeber a time in my life that I wasnt a Prince fan. I grew up just outside of Detriot. I remeber from the time I was a little girl, just in elementary school, listening to a DJ called MoJo almost everynight. (I was a funky kid....that grew to b a funky woman) Ya see, MoJo loved Prince and his music and played it all the time. I heard tunes from the first few albums thanks to that great DJ. Tunes from "Prince" & "For u". Then later "Controversy" & "Dirty Mind." I was eat up with the music way back then, way before purple rain! I think I was about 12 yrs old when purple rain came out. Didnt see my first show until I was in high school..."Lovesexy". By then I was very well aquainted with the artist!! Thru the yrs I have never strayed from the man, the music, the messeges. I call myself a lifetime fan. He is always the ultimate to me, my fav. However, I dont collect bootlegs and dont have a huge musical library, (even tho it is fairly large). Prince was truly been a large part of my entire life, from childhood listening to MoJo..."when ur reaching the end of ur rope, dont fall off, tie a knott.....the mother ship has landed....."


So, thats the short of my story.....
