Part 2 continues to draw on Michael Dean’s treasure trove of  Podcasts, including his interview of Levi Seacer Jr and Eric Leeds.  We also use Christian Schauf’s The Life Uncharted Podcast and his conversation with the great drummer, Michael Bland. Additionally, we used the good works of our friends from the other side of the world- Peach and Black Podcast‘s fantastic interview of keyboardist Morris Hayes.  Prince’s awesome talent was equaled only by his superhuman work ethic. This installment covers this in some detail with Levi, Eric Leeds and Michael recounting those days preparing for tours.  Prince’s virtuosity as a multi-instrumentalist is also discussed with an assortment of examples showcasing his brilliance. Did he make mistakes? Was he really that good at basketball? What was happening during those Flesh sessions? Tune in…it is all covered.  Enjoy!
