[Perform-Talk] musical influences

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. I like prince's work the best when it was just him on guitar and
vocals or piano and vocals. It really showed the talent and command he
had both as a songwriter and a performer.

It will be interesting to see what happens as there is a ton of
material that was not released.

cameron.
