A VERY special thanks to Michael Blythe of The Vouge Theatre and my long time friend James Chen from Audio Images (pictured here) for inviting me out to the PRINCE NYE event and honoring my friend JellyBean Johnson of The Time...

James and I go way back from when I was a kid riding my bike to his store marveling at all the expensive gear. They were NEVER rude or disrespectful to me. A year later after I got my recording contract, he being one of the people along with his business partner Ron Timmons (R.I.P) helped me acquire and maintain equipment for the studio where I recorded my first.

They helped engineer Ritchie Corsello and myself maintain equipment we had while running the studio acquired from the guitarist of the band Journey. A forty year relationship based on humility and mutual respect.

Thanks to EVERYONE past and present who has ever been in my corner who ever helped me achieve my goals, I'll NEVER forget you. Let 2026 be the year of gratitude and paying it forward to help each other. Be safe and MUCH LOVE.

Still absolutely devastated over the loss of my good friend Gary Johnson..You all knew him as "Don't be So mean", JELLYBEAN JOHNSON, Producer, Songwriter Guitarists and MOST notably the ORIGINAL steady time keeping drummer of Morris Day and The Time. This is one of the SADDEST Saturdays that I've had in a long time....We will miss you my friend.

Whoever the curator of the Purple Rain house is PLEASE contact me. I will GIVE YOU this authentic Hohner Madcat with matching strap to replace that piece of crap you have hanging in there on the wall now....geez. At least get with his guitar tech Takumi when doing these things so it can be accurate. If you going to honor and pay tribute to my brother let's AT LEAST get it right PLEASE !! .....👍 by @john_wesley_payne
