It has been 4 years since your late husband and my dear Prince has died.
And I can, t Ignore the fact that I can, t let him go although my life depends on it.
I need to be rescued and I hope U can help me although I am not sure what U can do for me since I am just a person of no meaning to U.
I guess for me this is just a way to release my soul.
I will try to explain to U why the life of me and my husband is in danger and why U are probably the only one that can help us.
U see I am one of the many people that got moved by your husbands great works.
From an early age I grew up as second child of a small family in the Netherlands, but I always felt left out.
I got punished a lot because I refused to eat my mother, s food.
So they send me to my room beleaving that that would Change.
Instead it made me feel unwanted and allone and I didn't, want to be allone so I searched for friends, music was one of the few things that made me forget about my problems.
I loved to listen to Michael Jackson and Robert Cray they became my new friends and Madonna joined them later on.
At age 13 I received a stereo with CD player which was new at that time.
So my punishments that I received became normal and no longer a problem. I danced and sang all day long and couldn, t get enough of it.
I decided from my first earned money as a waitress to buy myself a CD.
But the store had so many, I didn,t know what to choose, I took one that had almost the same patterns on it as my bedroomwallpaper
It was Purple Rain.
I never heard of the artist but I liked the cover.
It was a CD choose by faith.
What happened next is hard to explain but U probably understand.
I was struck by the sounds and the voice he than captured me as nothing had ever before.
I couldn't, get enough of it. I played it over and over and over and over day and night.
My parents didn, t like it at all which probably made my love for him get even stronger.
At that point I skipped classes to be alone with his music and since we lived in a small house without neighbour's.
I could go all the way dancing and singing my ass of.
It costed me two ejucations, and not knowing what to do with my life I decided to work as a receptionist.
And than he married U the beautifull one... which I was so thrilled about.
Such a beautifull woman in outside and inside I loved U just as much as he did it was so obvious U were made for each other and I hoped and prayed one day I would find also such a special love.
I was a mother of two Beautifull children and the people that lived close to me warned me that he didn't take good care of my babies while I was at school.
And another problem arose my art historie teacher started stalking me.
He followed me all around the building I felt quite unconfortable about the matter and I decided to convey my husband but all it did was create more problems so Prince came to the rescue.
I started listening to his records again and it made me confortable although the problems kept growing.
After 2 years into the education I decided to get a devorce my husband told me to choose between him and my school and didn't want to end his drinking problems also he was addicted to watching porn which I didn't want to expose my children to.
I took my babies and went to live in Groningen City.
My second boyfriend also named Prince was a computerexpert and he provided me al the records prince ever had made, I never felt so rich in my life.
He also liked to listen to his music.
The children did in, t mind hearing the music. Usually they would hang around me my daughter on her pink one wheel cycle and my my son was always dressed in a blue mermaid dress and we all dansed together. Prince made us all shine....
And I decided to change my name as an artist into Marysha Prince for a new beginning a new name.
I never discussed my addiction of Prince to anybody it was my best kept secret at the academy.
Many times I prayed to God to please give me a life of funk dancing and singing because that is my medicine to anything it always helps me to heal.
In that I agree with u that dancing is good for healing an get in touch with your feminine side.
My boyfriend took me to a gay bar in Groningen called the rits. He had seen me dance and wanted to show me to his friends.
I agreed one time to come with him because I thought that it could n, t do any wrong dancing among man that prefer man if u know what I mean.
But boy was I wrong.
It was al of a sudden at the and of the evening that his friend locked the door for closing. And I was alone with about. 5 men they were laughing and watched me dance when all of a sudden one grabbed me from behind and pushed me to the ground.
He sat on top of me and started to lift up my dress.
I looked at my boyfriend who was still laughing and not at any means trying to protect me from this humiliation.
And I knew I was in trouble, it got me so angry that I lifted myself up with the guy still on top of me and started screaming at my boyfriend who the.... He think I was.... I pushed him from his seat and demanded the door the be opened. It got me so confused at how was this possible gay people don't do girls in my opinion.
I decide never to go out again and keep my love for prince to myself as I was used to and ended my relationship.
My family started to intervene they wanted me to quitte the art academie and come home.
They took my children and send them to they father.
On top of that I got a response from my art historie teacher to come and talk about my fixation on his personallity.
So instead of admitting that he had been stalking me for 4 years he started accusing me of being fixated on him and we could talk about it in private.
It was the last straw of disappointment so I decided to leave the school and got admidded at a mental instatution with the diagnosis of a burn out.
Loosing my children it was awfull.
I felt that I had lost my wings to fly.
So after 1 year of rehabilitation I and living with my parents for 6 months I got a small house of my own that I rented from a private owner.
I still visited two old friends in Groningen but most of the time I was trying to heal and started gardening during the time my neighbour was at home and when I was alone on the property I listened to Prince to find my healing and I danced sometimes through the night..
He was the only one that could help me release my problems and feel free again.
But it was my secret I didn't want to get into any trouble again.
One day I received a phone call from a friend in Groningen that I knew from the art academie.
She talked to me about her new boyfriend who was a shaman that he could help me with my spiritual problems that she thought I had.
I thought I could give it a try because I beleave in spirituality.
She didn't tell me who he was only that she had had some minor problems with him and that he was a musician.
I never had a relationship with a musician but since singing and dancing was a daily way of living for me I thought he could help me in the matter.
He was a man that looked like an Indian and 20 years older than me.
I went into a sauna to join him in a seremony and afterwards he went on his knees and begged me 3 times to please take him with me to my house.
He wanted me to save him from this woman, at first I doubted because I concidered her to be a friend but he said she wasn't faithful and since he didn't have a home he hoped I could take him with me and he said if u want me to really help u I have to spend several weeks at your house.
So I agreed not knowing the huge shock it would bring to me.
A ducun or shaman is known to connect with spirits and my grandfather from my father's side connected with him and told him that my parents were not good.
He showed the Indian images of my mother putting heavy sleeping pills into my coffee and than telling my father that he could abuse my body.
He also showed the Indian that this had been going on from an early age.
U can imagine what shock it brought into my life.
I was an abused child not knowing because it all happened in my sleep.
Than all strange things happened my parents started calling doctors to help them get me diagnosed so I could go back to the mental instatution they started sending police to get the Indian out of my house they came and banged on the windows for hours to let me come out so they could take me away from the Indian, but he never left my site and he stayed with me trough the whole process.
He also told me about the reason why he was homeless for 20 years.
He was a famous musician in the 70,s he had a funk rock band of 30 band members of which he was the leader they were called cherokey.
He told me that Prince once played in one of his forplayes and that he had a short affair with Wendy from Wendy and Lisa he even played with candy Dulfer in Japan and hans Dulfer.
He was such a talented guitarplayer that he has worked with most great artist such as Robert Cray, Tina Turner, Bob Marley and the Waylors, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Phil Collins, he was a regular guest at north sea jazz festival in the Netherlands, but he has a stricked rule never to mix his wife with his work, my wife will not sing he said.
So in a way I feel very honored to have him as my husband and that's why I need your help because the reason he doesn, t play anymore is because the government of Groningen put a music ban on him which in my opinion is pure discrimination and they are now trying to eliminate him to cover up their mistakes.
By depriving him from all benefits and aid that homeless people can get.
U see he has been declared citizen of honor in Australia because if his musical performances with his bands but he never told anybody in Groningen that he was a famous musician he enjoyed the fact of being anonimous when he was at home with his 5 daughters.
And that is what started the problem the Groningen police saw him drive in expensive cars and suits and he had expensive watches and shoes and they didn't, know how he got the money and thought he must be a drug dealer of some kind.
They started stopping him in traffic, not ones but several times a day.
But Jeremiach is not only a great musician he is the equivalent of Leonardo da Vinci he is skilled in many ways he is 5 folted world champion aikido and free fight he is an officer of the Dutch special forces and knows how to fight without weapons also he has 3 titles in academics of music economics and mathematics he is what u can say a highly gifted multy talent way ahead of his time.
If he would still be living in his land of origins Timor Indonesia he would be treated as a King and would be asked for advise from presidents.
So one day an officer of the police pulled him over for the 20th time that day and started beating him with his club.
It ended in a fight in which Jeremiach had no weapons but two police officers ended in the hospital, he defended himself but because he is a fight expert the judge concidered him to be guilty and they gave him a prison sentence of 4 years.
From that point on his spiral went down.
His ex wife's who were all from very rich Groningen families and wanted to punish him for taking the 5 daughters at age 14 because they were beaten by their stepfathers and they procecuded him with all kind of false accusations it lead him to loosing his bands, his royalties, his houses, everything he owned got taken from him and they started a lawsuit that lasted 20 years in which he drifted through the city Groningen in a very angry and bittered state of mind.
He started investigating the city and found out that it was filled with corruption.
Many people that were homeless were denied benefits in which they should be getting and the people that have benefits where mostly drug dealers and they also get jobs from social security services.
They know he knows about this rotten system and that, s why for the past 8 years whe both have been living as outcasts, banished ones trying to servive on buying second hand goods and selling them with a a profit.
It's a way to survive and he is very good at it.
But it is very unjust to see him loose weight each day especially now at this Corona periode we haven, t been inside our home but forced to be outside all day.
But today he made me angry he accused me of not doing my part of the work and spending to much time with Prince and singing and dancing.
Which is not true I do my best to help him out finding buyers but it, s hard I hear the music in my mind all the time like a tape is playing I hear and feel him all the time when I am sad because he was the only one that could lift my spirit and open me like a flower.
I want to help my partner but he claims that he can play better than Prince and that I can, t sing.
I know he is very talented and has, t had the chance to show me his full skills because of the lack of good equipment.
But to me that can, t be true... I need some kind of confirmation.
So my question to u can u do a benefit concert in Groningen city park with preferably only female players.
So that my partner can show to me he is that good on guitar and drums and that I get after 4 years not being able to listen to and dance onto prince's music.
The chance to join u and release something that has been locked inside my soul fot the past 8 years not being able to speak, dance or sing.
I would like to send the message to Groningen municipal that they can eat their own shit because no one should be treated as an outcast when they are that good to the people and are that talented into making good funky music.
He helps so many people as a shaman in spite of his personal problems that when we bike or walk the streets of Groningen they great him, all the time all people man woman children of all cultures they love and respect him all. I want to give him a positive musical saving like he deserves I wish for him to be on a stage because that, s where he belongs.
I haven, 't seen my children in the past 8 years which hurts a lot because they are still with my family and there father.
Except my daughter found me and told me on one of our encounters.
Mum I love Prince too.
