Hi Y’all. I’ve been noting to myself that yesterday was Prince’s birthday.
On a whim, I searched ‘Prince’s birthday’ and followed a lead to the old org where there’s some chit chat re a so-far-unknown version of Free, just released.
I haven’t listened yet.
How’s Celebration going? . . . I think it ended today.

Thanks, @Dalia, for the suggestion. I came across this.
Title: Interview: The Family [Funkatopia (on YouTube) 6.2.2025]
Blurb: “An exclusive Monday night Funkatopia Live event. Mr. Christopher and NPG drummer Michael Bland welcome the legendary band The Family. We sit down with St. Paul Peterson, Susannah Melvoin, Eric Leeds, Jellybean Johnson, and Jerome Benton to discuss the band reunion, the Celebration performance, upcoming projects and the future for The Family.”
Looks to be interesting. I’ll get around to it.

Funkatopia said that Pepe Willie passed away a few days ago. RIP . I’d post a dove from the emojis but my phone continues its wily ways . . . Maybe it has to do with iCloud storage limitations. I don’t know! One of these days I might clear up some space! Anyway.
I always like listening to the 94 East Sessions, which Pepe Willie organized, I think. Mr. Christopher talks about him at around minute 7, in the video.
This past week, starting Wednesday, he played the entire (released) catalog of Prince’s music, what he usually plays at Thanksgiving. It takes 4 days of continuous play!
