Tina Graham at Prince concerts -please explain

Hey people,

Sure, we all know -and have either hated or loved- Larry's tricks on stage with Prince. But
I keep reading about his wife Tina on the org.

Yet, I never really understand what people talk about when the subject comes to her. She
seems to do something called "Towell waving" at the concerts.

What the hell is that? And how is it executed? Somehow, I don't think it's like Mayté doin
those weird rope twirling thingies during the Gold era [see Dolphin video].

Does she also sing backing vocals or is she just a stage extra?

To cut it short: what is this woman's role in the grand scheme and why is she annyoing???

And is there a picture of her somewhere in the org Gallery?

I've attended some concerts where I think she might have
been present but I don't know what she looks like...

she's kind of wraith-like, and she basically just comes out and waves a towel around while larry's playing. it's kind of scary. i think she's going to summon zuul one day.

she would come up during Larry's part of the show for just a little while, and wave her towel like he was on fire. usually when he was givin' a kick ass solo.

i can say ass, can't i ? wink

there's a pic of them (and their daughter) in the booklet of GCS2000.

So does she like, come out and just stand there with a towell in case Larry gets sweaty?
Or does she swing the towell around to the beat of the music? Is it a big roll or does she
hold both ends??

confuse
