His purple-ness is also a ridiculously good guitar player in more styles than you can shake a stick at.

I saw him on the Tavis Smiley show one time and his live performance on that show as a smooth jazz acoustic guitar player.

I found it - gotta love YouTube: http://youtu.be/nf7yRFk-ZfE?t=11m4s

This is one guy I would love to hang with some time and just pick his brain and just jam - room full of synths, guitars and a killer drummer. Maybe get some of the Minneapolis scene funk folks in for dinner, etc.

It would be crazy fun!

I really wish he wouldn't have gone where he went in the 80's, while it made him success during that time frame, I also think it turned off so many people that the general public does not consider him to be a real musician. He's one of the most creative on the planet, IMO, and one of the best 'music director' front men that exist.

Anyway, back on topic - have fun Danny!
