Although most are just different types of keyboard or percussion… so really he played 4 instruments. Prince, what a loser…. lol
I saw PR at a movie theater with my HS GF in 84. Her dad caught us in the driveway later on that night "playing cards" in my dads car. Thanks Prince!
That should be listed in the place of hand claps and finger snaps. 🤣🤣🤣
