In 1988-89 I spent two weeks recording at Paisley Park. We shared the big studio, we had it during the day and Prince used it at night. Since they were also shooting Graffiti Bridge in the back soundstage, the place was full of extras and, of course, Prince. We were given very specific instructions not to approach Mr. Prince, sort of a ‘speak only when spoken to’ thing.
This was hammered into my head so thoroughly that when I bumped into P in the vestibule by the kitchen area I was a mumbling idiot when he tried to make small talk.
Pleasant guy, short, deep voice, hangs scarves all over the studio.
