I was allowed to play DJ at a local bar last night--they have a regular Tuesday night slot for music fans who are not professional DJs--and I got the approval to play four solid hours of Prince in honor of his birthday. (I know he didn't celebrate birthdays later in life, but I can!) Of course that still wasn't long enough to fit in all my favorites, but I got to play a lot of them, and it was a blast. The crowd dug it, too.

OMG!! I wish I was there for 4 solid hours of Prince music!!

I think Prince's passing will always feel surreal to me. I'm grateful that you were born, in order to share all of your talents with the world!! Switched back to my DMSR ringtone today!!!

Four Solid Hours of Prince. Where was this at?

It was a bar here in Kansas City called Ollie's Local. It's a casual neighborhood bar, not a dance club, which meant I was free to hit different styles. It wasn't a huge crowd (Tuesday night and all), but some friends came out and I got compliments from several people I didn't know. I could have gone for a few more hours! It pains me to think of some of the songs I didn't manage to get to.

Spirits come and spirits go
Some stick around for the after show
Don't have to say I miss you (don't have to say I miss you)
Cause I think you already know
If you ever lose someone
Dear to you
Never say the words their gone
They'll come back, yeah
They'll come back, yeah yeah
They'll come back
Tears go here

OMG that performance of Something In The Water is a sheer musicgasm.

Happy Prince Day!

Happy Prince Day indeed! We love you!

I have been thinking about him all day. I am trying not to cry, because I know that he wouldn't want us to be sad. Prince's music has bought a lot of comfort to me. 2016 was a difficult year for me, not only did lose Prince, I also lost my Dad due to cancer. My father died a week before Christmas. He was a big Prince fan and so was my late mother.

Wore a vintage prince t-shirt today, and a stranger said "nice shirt" and I said "today is his birthday" and they said "I love him too" and we had a moment of prince electricity on his birthday, on a beautiful day in the Deep South. Thank you prince, even now you keep on giving... [Edited 6/7/17 16:26pm]

How sweet! Thanks for sharing--that's so beautiful!!

When I walked into the main office at work today, "Wednesday, June 7" was written on the whiteboard in purple dry erase marker. I made a point to announce to everyone in the office how wonderful it was that today's date was written in purple because today is Prince's birthday. (I have become very adept at incorporating Prince into my conversations.)

.

Prince's "Starfish and Coffee" has been the transition song in my classroom all week. I wore my symbol necklace today and a purple shirt. I enjoyed listening to Prince today while driving to and from work, as well as when I was working in my classroom after the school day ended. The radio station 105.3 WDAS here in Philly played a whole bunch of Prince (possibly only Prince) during the 5:00 pm hour. I was about to throw a fit because I heard no Prince music on 105.3 during the 4:00 pm hour.

.

And of course, I posted something Prince-related on Facebook and instagram.

I am SO THANKFUL that I was literally BORN AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME

I understand he stopped celebrating his birthday years ago. for whatever reason.

that's cool.

I am VERY HAPPY to celebrate his birthday for him..

I am betting I'm not the only 1 celebrating today.

FINALLY, I was able to post on, 2016', tonight.........sentiments too difficult before.

Watched Purple Rain movie tonight, after many years. So fitting.......as the movie approached the song 'Purple Rain'......the rain started and progressively poured into the song (I'm in Sydney, Australia) .......many purple tears flowed. After a year, it has finally taken me the time to acknowledge Prince and part of what he means to me.

We will get there.....some day.

Thanks, Cloveringold85.

Also celebrated the 'born day', by listening to some albums of his, while cleaning house!

I posted a pic you might like, on the last page of 'Prince - In Memorium June 7, 1958-April 21'.
