I was teaching when Prince died.
I had junior in homeroom and lunch. Several of the boys were in guitar class, and they liked to play videos at lunch.

After Prince died, they learned. They'd all heard purple Rain, but had no idea who sang it, but appreciated learning more. Then, they wanted to discuss guitar gods.

Oh, you think so and so is the man?

Here....

Wore purple every day that week.

Thanks for the video!!
