I know that all my efforts so far in trying to save this great artist living on Dutch soil who has been roaming with me on the streets of Groningen has been without succes so far, but the spirit of Prince keeps telling me to not give up.
I asked the other day that if what I am doing is useless than please God all mighty give me a sign and I will stop chasing this dream. Of wanting to sing and Dance to his funky music (children).
So with our last strength and little money we have left we spent most of our days in front of the hospital and at the train station in Groningen.
A few days ago this is what happened.
It happened all in one day.
We were sitting on a bench in front of the hospital when all of a sudden a big bunch of flowers fell right in front of me on the floor. I heard the noice of something falling down and I looked up from my drawing.
Beautifull flowers they were.
I picked them up enjoying the sight of it and gave them to the woman that had lost them.
She looked at me and said :' I Don, 't understand how I lost them, it was as if someone ripped them out of my hands.'
Than what happened next was I felt it was time to charge the batteries of my phone. I always do this at the hospital between the charging booths of the electric bike stands.
Than I listen to the radio to kill my time.
The very first thing that was on sublime fm a Dutch station for soul and funk. I heard Prince singing ' Money Don, 't matter tonight. One of my many favorites.
Later that day we walked at the train station to our spot where we practice aikido (we call it the Iron Lady) and I found a small ring on the floor. I picked it up and shuffled it on my left middle vinger the only finger it fitted.
And than from out of nowhere the music came we could both hear it my partner and I it was coming from the city park very loudly which is kind of impossible because since the Corona has started there are no party's and concerts allowed in the park but it was there, Prince.... He was singing..... I wanna be your lover... To me it was a message from his spirit telling me not to give up.
So here it goes my last letter and effort to save this king of funk that has been roaming the streets with me for 9 years now.
He is unknown in Groningen for his great skills but he, s got it he can play every genre and has played with and guided many great legend artists.
He even crossed paths with Prince at one point in Germany at the early of his career Prince played in one of his for plays in the 70,s when Jeremiach was leading his 30 members funk rock band called Cherokey.
He was the great Indian leader.
In the 70,s he gained all his success there and the Germans adored him for it.
It was Dutch jealousie and discrimination that made him loose it all.
U see his home base was in Groningen City because his 5 Beautifull daughters lived there with his three ex wives.
He wanted to be close to his daughters he was denied to have contact with from birth.
He drove by car to Germany back and forth all the time in expensive cars and wearing expensive clothes and jewelery.
The police pulled him over many times because they thought a black man having that much wealth must be a drug dealer or criminal.
He got pulled over sometimes over 11 times a day and one day it went wrong.
The motor officer that pulled him over the 11th time that day, just started beating him with his club.
Jeremiach asked :"Hey why are U beating me"?
His reply was:" Because I can, I am an officer of the police."
and Jeremiach hit him back , being an officer of the Dutch special forces and a aikido master 5 folded world champion in free fight he hit him back with his bare hands straight into the hospital, along with his college.
The motor helmet the officer had on his head was totally damaged. With his bare hands jeremiach had struck him right through the helmet.
From than the spiral went down.
The judge rooled against him although there were many witnesses declaring that he was purely defending himself.
The judge gave him 4 years inprisonment and for that he beat up the judge in court along with the district atturnie.
It was, 't a fair trial.
Jeremiach being able to speak with the dead saw the judge seksually abusing small Thai children.
He than went into many isolation cells where people even tried to kill him on numerous occasions.
During his imprisonment his three ex wives started filing lawsuits against him to end the band and sell all of his property and stop his royalties u see his succes was so great that he earned over 100.000 dollars for each performance he gave but he always remained anonimous, he never wanted to be on pictures, or record covers just his band members.
In future if he would play on a stage or for money he would receive a ticket of 10.000 dollar fine
He came into my live 9 years ago when he was all ready roaming the streets of Groningen for almost 15 years.
I didn, 't know but I received visions that I would meet a dark Prince who would help me to overcome my personal obstacles.
And I was warned this Prince would be both deaf and blind for my skills.
U see he has kept me from listening to Prince his music for 9 years.
We needed to survive so we spend most of our days buying and selling second hand items such as art, design clothes, furniture, records, anything we can sell with a profit and he tries to teach me how to become a. Great sales person.
U see the only thing in live that really moves me and can open me up like a flower is hearing Prince his songs, I know them all by heart all up to the emancipation album it, s all I know. I wasted 3 studies over him.
Maybe it was foolish to memorize his music in the way I did but it was the only thing
In times of trouble that could sooth me.
U have no idea what happened when I saw his passing on the news. The day before it happened I felt so bad I thought something awful must have happened to my children so I started writing them a good bye letter because I had this lump in my stommage.
The day after I tearned on the news and there it was Prince had died on his estate right in front of the elivator.
Because I was living in a hide out place trying to stay away from the police because they can take me as a hostage whenever they please even today they can.
I had to take the news in silence.
So I prayed to the all mighty, please I wish to receive his singing skills.
please give me the tools to handle this great, great loss
My mother, father, brother, sister and when I am alone in my room my lover...
This to me greatest artist of all times.
Jeremiach told me to throw this ring I found in the trash. Which I did and two days later I find almost on the same spot as where the flowers were dropped a little mouse with angel wings.
That little angel mouse gave me the courage after 9 years of not nearly enough being able to go crazy on his songs to record three videos at the hospital knowing that if jeremiach caught me in the act he would immediately take it from me and destroy the phone.
It, 's because we have to remain low provile because of the police.
I, ve tried in so many ways to trie and find a way to thank him for saving me and keeping me save for so many years of roaming.
I am aware of the fact that he must love me very much because I can, 't make money because of the municipal refuse to beleave that I am homeless.
They say I first have to prove that bevore I can become signed in to the City.
That because they know I am Jeremiach, s partner and they Don, 't want any witnesses that can tell that they are trying to eliminate him.
So I choose to fight with the pen so that the truth even if we die together will be on the internet so my children in which I haven, 't seen in 8 years know I didn. 't abandon them like they are told
I had to leave the Family I had no choice.
And knowing that they are still in that position of being seksually abused without knowing to me is very painfull and devistating.
Fortunaly my daughter got away on her own.
She now also lives in Groningen under childcare and we have meet each other outside several times and we cry and hug because we miss each other so much.
She told me Mama I love Prince too.
Which actually told me that she loves my alterego Marysha.
Because when I am Marysha I am fearless and a goddess that even my son at 10 years old said out of the blue when he saw me dance.
Mam my willy is becoming hard what does that mean?
After that I stopped dancing for him.
And than I atracked an artist like Jeremiach who has played with Tina Turner. Miles Davis, Walter Trout, B. B. King, Phil Collins, Paco Luccia, Terence trent D'arby
And he helped creating songs for almost all Dutch artist only under synoniem
most of the purple band members know him and have worked with him like sheila e has once seen him work on drums at a demonstration and candy dulfer worked with him on a tour with Hans dulfer in Japan. Wendy and Lisa know him in the music world they all know him as a great skilled artist on guitar and drums he worked under the artist name Andy or Mr. Cherokey in Germany the people know him.
They called him Der indianer.
But in Groningen he is hated by the government because they know he knows of they corruption.
But the citizens of Groningen they all love and have great respect for him.
Every time we roam together through the streets of Groningen they all great him.
All man, woman, and children of all cultures.
He is highly respected because of his shaman skills.
He helps all people in spite of his problems
He has helped me to in a way u can, 't imagine.
All the guitars he has played on, which u see if u roam through this garden and find all the efforts I have done so far to raise money for us to be able to start creating art and music together which is our biggest dream, he has sold them all so far.
There is no guitar left because he claims that I am his biggest tressure.
Of course I feel very honored but it is also painfull because I wish for him to climb the stage again like in the old days.
I want to see him shine in his greatest element and show the municipal of Groningen that they can eat their own shit.
I was hoping that U could organize a benefit concert or freedom concert in Groningen city park to help raize funding for new him to buy new equipment so that he can play again but of course in my wild dreams I hope to see him on stage where he belongs to show the groninger municipal, which claims to be the city of talent, that he is without a doubt the greatest talent Groningen will ever have and they should be ashamed to treat such a great musician without respect, chasing him like a wild dog.
Of course I would like to sing prince his songs too but this would make me even happier, he sold all his guitars that he bought during our roaming to keep me alive.
Please wander through our garden to see all the art works and hear jeremiach play his funk. What I also would like to know because my partner claims that I can, 't sing if u feel the same about that.
Please let me know because than I can let go of this dream to sing prince his songs the way that he did al my life each day every day. Because that would help me kill this pain of loosing my babies.
Even though my daughter lives in Groningen without a home I am still not able to see them. Which kills me slowly.
Prince is my only medicine.
