Purple rain in a blizzard

You know you're hardcore when all this snow still can't cool your jones for the blues or BBQ. So after seeing Molly Ringwald in "Sweet Charit"y (it's about hookers, you know) me and the better half braved the precipitating precipitation and headed�to �the Dinosaur for some grub 'n' grind. Too Tall and the Howlin Mercy Blues band supplied the beat in which to eat. Too Tall positively dwarfed his Strat but still made it sound as big as he is. I got to sit in on a coupla shuffles after they dug into the Prince library....four white dudes playing "Purple Rain" in a blizzard. And the dish ran away with the spoon...

I guess nobody ever told me Purple Rain wasn't a blues tune. Love to do the obscure thang once in a while... gives people something to talk about - love it or hate it. And I new we were in for some serious DeBlase blues action when he sat down, struggled with a "slippery" guitar then asked "How do I put some hair on this." It was already a 50-watt marshall cranked. Whoa boy... only at the Dino.
