squirrelgrease said: So here's a pic with Prince on keys, Andre on bass and the same trap set. The MN Historical Society says that it's Morris on drums and date the photo to 1977 (were they not Champagne by 1977?). If you blow up the image you can see the electrical tape "G" for "Grand" on the left tom (drummer's right), plus the drummer is a lefty as in the eBay photos. It's known that MNHS has many factual/date errors on their website and if Morris was left handed, it must be him in the eBay shots.
Could this shot be from the gig they were practicing for?

Photographer: Charles Chamblis (1927-1991) Photograph Collection ca. 1977 Location no. Collection I.368.127 what a great find, Squirrelgrease.  Prince 4Ever.  | |
