Prairie Prince also did all the studio work on XTC Skylarking - truly brilliant. Check out his solo during Man Who Sailed Around his Soul.

Reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. Prairie Prince is alive and well.

I was going to say, Prairie Prince would be sad to hear that he has died.

He's making custom drums, selling his art and photography and still drumming on occasion. He's a North Carolina native (Charlotte), but grew up in Phoenix. Original member of Journey but went back to The Tubes before the first LP.

Heard the Tubes several times in the late 70s and covered "Talk To Ya Later" in my college band.

He's also played with Todd Rundgren, George Harrison, Chris Isaak, you name it.

STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE AND IN GOOD HEALTH!

It was Vince Welnick, the keybroard player from the Tubes who later joined the Grateful Dead who died.
