NELSON

I woke up this morning with a thought of how I can help PD aka Prince Dracula out, When I say out I mean on the music tip.You see PD is my son he is a Rapper,he has a talent and he is working it with the help of the Internet and me. He is a very goodlooking man he resembles his POP alot and me,which is only natural.I was also thinging why did I tear up that phone number by that I mean.... Well it all seem so strange and like a dream,Cause at the time in my life I was moving around alot to do my thang which was singing,I use to perform at different occasions it was fun and it payed well.And I did or see many performers.What I did not expect was PD to be a performer to and also his father to be a entertainer.I think the difference between the two is the shows are longer, cause all the shows I ever did last maybe 1 or2 hours payed by the hour so I had to change that so I would get payed by the set or per song.And that phone number that I disposed of and for the life of me I cannot remember that numberbut,the words said call me up sometime.And I'm calling but I'm using the Internet.Here is what happen and where I got that phone number from.One day I was doing my usual like finding a place to floss my singing talent on this day I was at Crown Center in the hotel lobby in Kansas City,Missouri sitting at a table rehearing my song and studying the words and how I was going to do these songs and which one to do. And I got distracted by the noise in the lobby of the hotel. I turned to see what was going on and I saw people everywhere walking back and forth around the lobby I looked at where the noise came from the most which was the front desk,I saw a man who just happen to be standing at the front desk and it seem that he was looking at me, to me it seem.Then I turn my head and I saw Jim Brown so I got up and took my composition book with me he stop I guess he saw me the same time as I was coming to him  when I got up to him I ask for his autograph, I really like a groupy asking for autographs he said ,Sure and he did while I was holding the composition book he finished and I said thank you sir, he said thank you and you have a good life I said ok and smiled he smiled back and went and got on the elevator.I went back to the table to finish studying my songs and what I was going to sing and how I was going to sing it the songs where Take Five and Misty.Hey I really was happy to have that autograph I was thinking I can't wait to get back to the house to let my mother see it she sure did like him she always said that he was a big black man and how goodlooking he was. Well he sure is a big man and wow! it was like I was standing next to a giant I mean phyically not mentally he was hugh compared to me,I promise you I had to ben my neck back to see his face he had to ben down to give me his autograph and he had a travel case for his suits over his shoulder I thought He was a very nice person.I was happy also to make contact with him. Well while I was sitting at the table I looked at the front desk,  you know how you can feel like some one is watching you well that is how I felt and this time when I looked at the front desk there he was still up there and he just happen to be standing under this over the head light and then I saw it was Prince the singer someone I really care for his music I like the way he looked just did not compute  with me. And anyway  I started to read my notes again you see there was this bar in the Crown Center called Signboard Bar and every week or day I really can't remember the days but I knew it happen there cause I went there sometimes and you could get a job there singing if you won the contest and I was in the line up for that day or night, as long as you brought in customers  to make money for the bar you could sing there and they did jazz plus sometime there would be scouts in there looking for new talent so I had to have my shit correct I think I was dam good with what I was doing so I was in that notebook my thang was singing is singing. And to this day  I am still in that mind. So I am not a stage mom, ha! where did that come from? You know what sometimes I go some place like in my mind and shit just pour out through my fingers and now I don't have to have writers cramp cause on this keyboard it is like this is what I needed to open up more and again.Focus!Now in Kansas City I was one of the Chaka Khan impersonators and that perticular day I was dressed in my CK outfit big hair,lipstick,shoal tied across my shoulder and breast plenty of bangles and rings some boots and I was looking good and pretty so I was told often.Thank you God! Plus I looked like CK from a distance now I like Stevie Nicks alot to and her style of dress also so I would be in a mixture of CK,SN TB Chaka's sister Taka I sang like Chaka & Taka and dressed a mixture of Chaka & Stevie and I'm a black woman. It was fun I loved it all of it the people, the limos, the places all here in KCMO back in the day!My mind was in a uproar and I was nervous but that was good for me people told me that I performed better in that state of mind cause that made me attack my performance more my stomach would always be doing flip flops for the first few minutes on stage then after that it's on.But I was really nervous so I took a sip of wine that was on the table where I was studying and rehearsing my songs I was in that notebook  and I was visualizing how I would do. My manager told me that I will do great just be nervous  yes I did have a manager his name was Murice and another that found my shows to do, But I was just doing my own thang for myself that day.Then all of  a sudden someone tap me on my right shoulder I turn to see who it was no one was there so I turned back around to my note pad I was stardle by the man that was at the front desk It was Prince The Singer I said hi I was studdering when I ask aren't you Prince  he said yes while nodding his head yes while sitting down  I just sat ther cause again it felt strange me sitting at the table  with Prince The Singer and I did not like him that well and I did not know him But he was cool I guess so he said you eat I said but I'm just drinking this wine and studing my notes for these songs he started sliding my notebook over to him and glanced at it.Then he said lets eat so he order food  I forgot what he order but it started with some shrimp cocktail and more of the white wine I was drinking he just kept looking at me like he really wanted me now so I looked back at him pick out a shrimp dip it in the cocktail and ate it then sip from my glass  then he said let's go I said huh  I can't go I'm next he said come on then Isaid The Signboard Bar  I sing He said let's go  so we went to the elevator the one that ride you up and you see the city when it got back down he got a hold of my hand and went to the other elevator  I looked at my notebook as we went pass fast I reach for it but he just didn't say anything and he was in a hurry to get where ever we where going once on the elevator he did not say anything again just looked at me like he love me elevator stop we got out still holding my hand  went to this door open it, but it sound like aparty in that room so he closed the door he pushed the elevator button
