We got a big surprise in January. We were playing our rutine Saturday gig, when we see Prince walking through the door. He asked the guitar player if he could borrow his guitar and play. Then he proceeded to take a 24-bar solo, or so, and left.
Pretty sureal, and cool. He was so close to me that I thought of smacking him upside the head, but he had two big guards with him.
We had a similar visit by Mosdef during our set a few month ago, but he didn't jam with us.  |

"Holy crap, that's Prince, and he's ripping an awesome solo in my band"
