It's not even funny any more. Why do you make the whole org work to view your links, that are probably quite interesting? What makes you so special that everyone else has to work around your stubborn refusal to to typee 11 more characters? It's quicker to do that than it is for someone to highlight your text and copy/paste. Can't you just type the tags and help all of your fellow org members?
Put the first bit before the link, the next bit after and everyone can click your links. You could easily be my favourite orger with all the news you post, I'm sure it's great. Please help everyone out. |

Thanks for sharing. I got to it just fine.
I could listen to Susan Rogers talk about Prince all day and twice on Sundays. So fortunate to have her as our fly on the wall - however belatedly. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. |

No post--I just had never successfully gotten a link to post correctly on here over the years, and decided to try one more time. It worked this time, even though I don't think I did anything differently. Ah well--I guess if I ever need to post a link I can get it to work now.

[Edited 10/19/22 15:13pm] Would seem like an obvious choice since Peggy's tenure covered the albums most people wanna talk about anyway. Somehow, Susan has become the defacto technical voice despite folks like Peggy and Scotty and even Jesse Johnson who also knew Prince's recording techniques and quirks. |

They did. There are hours of Peggy talking about her time at Sunset Sound at YouTube.
See, there's this thing called "search" where you type what you're looking for and they find it for you. Neat, huh?

[Edited 10/20/22 6:45am] Fair point but it does still seem like Susan is de facto choice. I think people really only got to see Peggy talk during and since the 1999 SDE promo. |

Easy. Susan was Prince's direct employee, working for him not only at warehouses, home studios and on the road but did so for almost five years. She was at his beck and call at all times, which she didn't seem to mind, but did give up a lot of her own life to support him.
Peggy was an employee of Sunset Sound and while she seems to be his choice when available, was nowhere near full-time with him. And only in the studio. In one of the Sunset Sound interviews, she pretty much brushes him off. He'd come in, recorded in a leather jacket on her birthday, and then gave her the jacket as a gift. "I gave it away, I didn't care", she said.
Does anyone else get the idea that they dislike each other or maybe were a bit jealous? Remember, Prince was very seductive.
Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

Peggy engineered sessions at the Warehouse as well. Considering she was the primary engineer for 1999 and most of PR and ATWIAD and damn near all the associated acts of that period, I'd say she's pretty close to full time. Not everyone is positively enamored with Prince's shtick. |

I've watched those Peggy interviews and I still stand by what I said, Susan seems to be the engineer everyone talks about. |

I watched Peggy's interview. She was quite explicit. She only every worked for Prince at Sunset Sound. She never stepped foot in Minnesota. I'm not sure where you got the idea that she worked at the Warehouse as well.

Peggy: "Prince had trouble communicating."
vs
Susan: "He didn't like small talk because it interrupted that flow of ideas, that Niagra Falls of ideas that was coming through his brain."
Who else noticed that Peggy and Susan would say the same things but just differently.
