Damon! So glad you’re doing great and seeing you healthy and staying positive.
What kid related projects are you involved with?
Do you still dance, you were great, super creative and really funny! Loved your dance routines and ideas!
Do you still dance with Kirk and Tony for fun?
Did The Game Boyz ever contribute with musical ideas?
What was the extent of your roles in Prince’s band when you were visibly with him from 90-93?
Madhouse! 13! Rock this mutha! Loved you’re dancing in that, was Prince already thinking in ‘87 of using you guys on perhaps the Lovesexy or future shows/bands?
I thought the Nude tour was incredible, you guys did some incredibly creative dancing and really took Prince and the hole show into another direction. What was great about the Nude was that there were no other distractions per se. It was a show focused on Prince of course AND The Game Boyz.
Great memories, and thank you for contributing to this great Prince website! ANd thanks for answering these questions if you can!
