It would be remiss to remember his words without remembering his image. Pearl buttons, ruffled collar, and head-to-toe fair weather clouds. An impish grin, big brown eyes, and a medley of style and spirit, working like a magnet to draw you in.

Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before.
That’s when I saw her, ooh, I saw her.

A video popped up for me the other day. It was an event honoring George Harrison. Prince and Tom Petty were among many musicians performing George’s song, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. What a great performance by Prince.

Some of this is a re-post, more or less. You can’t help but remember Prince this time of year.
