\"PRINCE GAVE ME A CHANCE WHEN HE DIDN'T HAVE TO\"<\/em><\/h1>\n

JEFF MUNSON REMINISCES ON HIS TIME AT PAISLEY PARK<\/h3>\n

Interviewed by writer: Tony Kiene <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

While coming of age in Rockford, Illinois, Jeff Munson remembers how he and his best friend Dave Friedlander were the only two \u201cwhite boys\u201d at school that were into the funk, particularly the likes of Parliament-Funkadelic, Con Funk Shun, Roger and Zapp, and Earth, Wind & Fire among others. Then, as the 1970s gave way to a new decade, they discovered Prince.<\/p>\n

Aspiring musicians themselves, Jeff and Dave instantly knew that \u201cthis guy was going to be huge.\u201d \u201cTake a song like \u2018Uptown\u2019 or \u2018Controversy\u2019 or even \u201cLet\u2019s Work,\u201d observes Jeff, \u201cAdd in the fact that Prince was doing everything himself; the composing, the production, the instruments, the vocals, all of it. Nobody was that bad ass. Ever!\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduating high school, Dave pursued an engineering degree at Boston\u2019s renowned Berklee College of Music while Jeff entered college to study graphic design. Following his freshman year, Jeff was given an opportunity to start working in his chosen field, so he made the decision to drop out of school and work full-time. And when Dave returned from the east coast three years later with a degree in Music Production in hand, the two friends agreed to make the 335-mile trip north and relocate to Minneapolis. It was 1988 and they had no idea what lay in store for them. <\/p>\n

GOIN' UPTOWN: THAT'S WHERE WE WANT TO BE<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Jeff and Dave long suspected that someday they might live and work in Minneapolis. After all they thought, this was Prince\u2019s stomping ground. Where else would you rather be if you were a music fan? They even joked with one another and amongst friends that they were relocating to Minnesota to work for Prince. Jeff adds, \"Of course, we weren\u2019t serious. I mean, what were the odds of that?\"<\/p>\n

It just so happened that the first r\u00e9sum\u00e9 Dave sent out was to Paisley Park and before he knew it, he was Prince\u2019s newest assistant recording engineer. In the meantime, Jeff was busy trying to build a clientele as a graphic artist when fate intervened and smiled on him as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cLate one night I get a call from Dave who was in a marathon session at Paisley Park,\" recalls Jeff, \"And he asks me if I can bring him a gas station sandwich or something as he hadn\u2019t eaten for hours.\u201d Although he was a good 30 miles away at the apartment they shared in Brooklyn Park, Jeff didn\u2019t balk at the request. \u201cAre you kidding,\u201d he thought to himself, \u201cI actually get to walk into the lobby of Paisley Park. I win. It can\u2019t any better than this.\u201d <\/p>\n

Around the studio, Dave began to spread the word that his friend Jeff was a graphic artist. At the time, Richard Henriksen, better known as \u201cHawkeye,\u201d had little interest in continuing to produce the Paisley Park newsletter. So in rather short order, Jeff found himself interviewing with Paisley Park staff who inquired whether or not he was willing to fill that particular void as well as some additional tasks. He first met with John Dressel, who managed the recording facilities Paisley Park and then Harry Grossman, who was pretty much in charge of the entire building at the time.<\/p>\n

Harry offered Jeff his own rent-free office, which would allow him to continue freelance work as long as projects for Prince and Paisley Park took priority. Not that Jeff would have ever said \u201cno\u201d to the offer, he just never imagined such a \u201csweet deal.\"<\/p>\n

Among Jeff\u2019s responsibilities at Paisley Park was to cover the telephones when necessary, which often resulted in him conversing with Prince, albeit very briefly. Nevertheless, the point was made to Jeff that should he come across Prince in the building not to talk to him. After several weeks of this, Jeff felt awkward not saying anything and one day when passing Prince delivered a spritely \u201cHello,\u201d to which Prince replied, \"Hi.\" \"Mmm\u2026,\" Jeff thought, \"That wasn\u2019t such a big deal.\"<\/p>\n

Still, as he looks back, Jeff admits that in those first couple years Prince said very little to him. There were even occasions where Jeff would inquire at to exactly what Prince was looking for on an album cover or something else. \u201cMore often than not, he\u2019d just flash a quizzical look and walk off,\" leaving Jeff to figure it out on his own.<\/p>\n

Though for every moment Jeff might have felt a little bit insecure, there were others that reminded him of exactly where he was at and what a privilege that was. Perhaps Jeff\u2019s favorite moment from those early days was, while on front desk duty, getting to see Prince take Vanity on a tour of Paisley Park, where she was visiting for the very first time. \u201cNow that was cool.\"<\/p>\n

SO, DO YOU WANT TO STAY AND HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?<\/h2>\n

By early 1990, Jeff was working quite a bit with then President of Paisley Park Enterprises, Gilbert Davison. One day, Gilbert asked Jeff to drive some art samples out to Prince, who was on a sound stage in New Hope where they were filming some of the interior club scenes for Graffiti Bridge.<\/p>\n

Jeff walks in and shows Prince the samples he brought. As Prince flips through them, he quips \u201cThat\u2019s cool. So is this. Keep all these,\u201d and so on. Assuming that his duty is complete, Jeff readies to leave when Prince, in his famous monotone delivery says, \u201cSo, do you want to stay and help us make a movie.\u201d \u201cUh, yeah,\u201d answers Jeff. Prince then tells him to go see the folks in the art department and just like that, Jeff was on the set of Graffiti Bridge.<\/p>\n

Among Jeff\u2019s daily responsibilities on Graffiti Bridge was to \"dress the set.\" Yet it didn't take long for before his role was increased. Prince was impressed by the unique handwriting on the track lists prepared for the film\u2019s soundtrack, which frequently changed. And as he discovered that this was Jeff's handiwork, Prince assigned him a new mission; painting song lyrics on the white brick wall which would be showcased several times in the movie.<\/p>\n

While a tremendous honor to Jeff, such a meticulous duty did come with some added stress. It was a tight shooting schedule and for each song, Jeff basically had one shot to get it right. If he made a mistake, the wall would have to be repainted and filming would be delayed for quite some time. Not to mention the fact that Prince was often observing the proceedings himself. \"Imagine its 30 minutes before the scene is to be shot and here I am painting the lyrics to 'Elephants and Flowers,'\" explains Jeff, \"Then there\u2019s Prince standing behind me just quietly waiting and watching. Talk about pressure.\" Fortunately, Jeff passed each test.<\/p>\n

The hours only got longer during this time as Jeff was on set every day from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm before heading back to Paisley Park to tackle other projects until two or three the next morning. He didn\u2019t mind though. In fact, it made him feel as if he\u2019d really become part of the team; that Prince truly trusted him. And, it wouldn\u2019t be long before Prince started asking Jeff for things directly as opposed to using an intermediary.<\/p>\n

A NEW DEPARTMENT<\/h2>\n

Eventually, Prince established the first official art department at Paisley Park, which was staffed by Jeff and fellow artist Chuck Hermes. \u201cBy this time,\u201d observes Jeff, \u201cPrince was pretty hands on with everything that was going on design-wise. For him, having an in-house art department was like having a new toy.\u201d And unlike the first couple years of his tenure, when this led to Jeff spending a lot of one-on-one time with Prince in either his office or Prince\u2019s. To Jeff, this was great, but certainly not without its challenges.<\/p>\n

Some of Jeff\u2019s most unforgettable (and exasperating) memories revolve around some of Prince\u2019s more rigid expectations. For example, when it was time to print his 1994 book of poetry and lyrics, Neo Manifesto, Prince wanted to see the finished product that instant. Jeff told Prince, \u201cIt takes a couple of days or so to print 10,000 books. The ink has to dry. Then they have to be trimmed and bound.\u201d Still, in spite of his plea, Jeff realized that answer was never going to be good enough.<\/p>\n

Another time, Jeff presented a poster design to Prince, who really dug it and said, \"I want 100,000 of these by tomorrow.\" When Jeff relayed that such a request was simply impossible, Prince replied, \"Okay, get me one by tomorrow.\" Logistically, a single poster was a tall enough order itself. Nonetheless, Jeff knew he had to figure out a way to get it done. So after finding someone with the exactly the right kind of printer, Jeff literally spent the entire night pulling it all together before jetting back to Paisley Park that morning.<\/p>\n

Having now gone several hours without sleep or food, Jeff was simply relived to get there ahead of Prince. When Prince did arrive shortly thereafter, Jeff gave him his poster and Prince said, \u201cSee. That wasn\u2019t so hard.\u201d Jeff, unable to mutter much of a response, thought to himself, \u201cIf he only knew.\u201d <\/p>\n

Undoubtedly the most common phrase that Prince ever uttered to Jeff was, \u201cIs it ready yet?\u201d Most of the time Jeff wasn\u2019t necessarily sure what Prince might be referring to as there were a multitude of \u201cit\u2019s\u201d taking place at any given time. So, Prince would often revise his query to, \u201cIs anything ready yet?\u201d <\/p>\n

Although such experiences could be mentally and physically taxing, Jeff still thinks of them all quite fondly. \u201cSome of our exchanges were so funny,\u201d laughs Jeff, \u201cI wish I had transcripts.\u201d Jeff also happened to be one of those individuals whose buttons Prince liked to push, in a comical way. And from time to time, Jeff pushed back. \u201cI think he liked it when you stood up for yourself. Plus, he real enjoyed the friendly banter.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Sunday morning, Jeff and Prince met in Jeff\u2019s office to discuss some design ideas for an album cover. Other than the receptionist and possibly an engineer sleeping somewhere, they would be the only the two souls in the building. As Prince walked in (dressed to the nines), Jeff, wearing jeans as usual thought he\u2019d be clever and quipped, \u201cI hope you didn\u2019t get all dressed up for me.\u201d Prince instantly shot back, \u201cWho are you to judge.\u201d When Jeff remarked that not everyone has a custom wardrobe department at their beck and call, Prince, in his signature Jamie Starr impression, snapped \u201cWell maybe you should!\u201d To which Jeff couldn\u2019t help but laugh. <\/p>\n

HANGIN\u2019 OUT<\/h2>\n

Now that Prince had a fully-fledged art department at his disposal, his new image and design ideas came fast and in bunches. In 1994, during what would become his last six months working for Prince, Jeff believes he probably did at least three year\u2019s worth of work. \u201cThat was a critical time for Prince,\u201d explains Jeff. \u201dThere was the name change and the beginnings of the battle against Warner Bros. He was starting to position himself to where he could do everything he wanted in-house.\u201d<\/p>\n

This period was so prolific that Jeff was required to get his hands in just about everything that was going on, including: cd singles and album covers; book designs; the Interactive CD-ROM; a myriad of marketing and collateral materials; and art and logo work for long-play European video releases \u201cThe Sacrifice of Victor,\u201d \u201cThe Undertaker,\u201d and \u201cThe Beautiful Experience.\u201d He even contributed to the design a couple of instruments, most notably Prince\u2019s iconic one-eyed bass. Even though a lot of it was a blur, there are still many things that stand out in his mind. <\/p>\n

For instance, Jeff had always been a huge fan of Prince\u2019s side project Madhouse. a jazz fusion outfit that released its first album 8 on Paisley Park Records in 1987 and whose original line-up consisted of Levi Seacer, Jr., Eric Leeds, Matt Fink, and Dale Alexander. So, when Prince sought to revisit the idea for a third Madhouse record titled 24, naturally Jeff was tapped to design the cd cover and booklet.<\/p>\n

For this rendition of Madhouse, the players included current NPG members Michael Bland and Sonny Thompson as well as Levi and Eric. While awaiting his design, Prince, Michael, Sonny, and Levi all gathered in Jeff\u2019s office. \u201cIt was like a dream come true. Here I was hanging out with Madhouse,\u201d Jeff ponders, \u201cPrince was telling stories, at the same time he\u2019s rummaging through my cd\u2019s, essentially deejaying during the proceedings. Everyone was having a ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

At some point, Jeff gets around to showing Prince his idea for the album cover and asks, \u201cDo you like this?\u201d Prince, in turn asks Jeff \u201cWhat do you think? When Jeff confirms that he indeed likes the work he\u2019s done, Prince, with a straight face says, \u201cWe can\u2019t listen to you Jeff, because you had antbacks and crackerjacks for breakfast!\u201d <\/p>\n

Still bemused to this day, Jeff reflects on how everyone instantly doubled over in laughter. \u201cAntbacks? What is that,\u201d he wondered. Ultimately Jeff figured that he came up with it because it rhymed. \u201cThat was Prince. Only he could get away with something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

REFLECTION<\/h2>\n

Sometimes Jeff finds it hard to believe that he actually is a member of the PRN family, noting it\u2019s a \u201cfinite group now.\u201d He cherishes the friendships and memories of all of his co-workers, yet there is one that always seemed to make him smile no matter the circumstances. That person is the legendary radio and concert promoter, Prince confidant, and Purple Rain co-star, Billy Sparks. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe was almost always in good spirits,\u201d says Jeff, \u201cI\u2019d sometimes be in my office around midnight and Billy would burst in and be like \u2018Hey man. What\u2019s going on? How are you doing?\u201d Jeff also recalls Billy\u2019s notorious \u201cCadillac conferences,\u201d in the parking lot of Paisley Park. \u201cThese would sometimes serve as morale boosters. Billy would invite me or others to just chill out in his ride and talk about what\u2019s on our mind or got us down at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOnce, after a long day where Prince raked Billy over the coals a bit (unusual according to Jeff as Prince really liked Billy), he calls Jeff into a \u201cCadillac Conference.\u201d As they sat looking through the windshield back toward the building, commiserating about the tough day they\u2019d both had, Billy turns to Jeff and says, \"You know what though? It took one hell of a (expletive) to build this place.\"<\/p>\n

\n\tThis put everything into perspective for Jeff. \u201cWhat could we possibly be upset about. We work at Paisley Park. Enough said.\u201d <\/p>\n

\nToday, when remembering Prince, Jeff still struggles to wrap his head around the fact that he is gone. \u201cI never thought that day would come. To me he was on another level, seemingly superhuman. I believed he would outlive us all.\u201d Yet regardless of the shock and the pain, all those wonderful memories shine through. <\/p>\n

\n\tTo say that Jeff \u2013 even from the time he was an adolescent \u2013 was in awe of Prince\u2019s talent would be quite the understatement. But spending the time he did with Prince, Jeff learned that he was so much more. \u201cAfter all,\u201d Jeff affirms, \u201cPrince gave me, a kid in his early twenties the chance to prove himself. He didn\u2019t have to do that.\u201d Moreover, in Jeff\u2019s mind, the fact that Prince did the same for so many others speaks volumes about his capacity for beneficence. \u201cI\u2019m sure it wasn\u2019t the easiest path. He could have hired anybody he wanted at any turn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPrince felt he had a responsibility to share his accomplishments with others because he could,\u201d reflects Jeff, \u201cAt the end of the day, he gave me far more than I could have ever give him. I owe him so much and I will always be grateful.\u201d <\/p>\n
