The Song of the Evening: Here is a quick bit of music history. The previous Gamethread linked a song by Prince and the New Power Generation. Playing bass for the NPG was Sonny T, or Sonny Thompson. Sonny T and Prince go way back to the 1970s. Sonny T led a band called The Lewis Connection back then. In 1976, Prince joined them on guitar and contributed to two songs: “Stone Lover” and this song that made onto The Lewis Connection’s self-titled and only album that was released three years later: “Got To Be Something Here.” You can hear Sonny T as the lead vocals with a young Prince as backup.
The Rules: The rules remain the same as the Devils are playing their final game against the Wild and the Western Conference in this season.

Go Devils!
