    Imagine if he had played at Prince's memorial. It would have been so beautiful. Still him playing Prince at this level, what a tribute!

    I was a little girl when my mom took us to see this movie. Been in love with Prince forever. My mom said my brother and I lost our minds when the song came on she thought they were going to kick us out. I remember our vinyl records and playing this song over and over. I used to lose my mind if I heard Prince in the car and PR I was done. Lol Now every time I hear it I cry. This was so beautiful. So touching.

    The first time Prince played this I felt so much emotion, it was an explosion. This by Escobar brings it all back and I am just amazed that it is a violin. Just wonderful Damien, you are so blessed with this talent. Thank you.

It brings tears to my eyes! Please, please come to Phoenix, Arizona in 2024! My husband and I really love the violin and I would like to surprise him with a fabulous, unforgettable experience going to your concert! He is also from Jamaica, New York!

    Though my words fall short, all I can say is this, “Purple Rain is truly a beautiful melody with a deeply touching lyric that pierce the heart of all mankind. The butterflies in my stomach, their wings flutter with the flow of music as it carries me from depths of sadness to peaks of inexpressible joy. Oh the beauty of it all! The emotions that I cannot express, I know only the Lord understands, as I bare my soul to Him. With the expertise of Prince, Damien Escobar did the same ever so masterfully, as he.” 💯💜🫶
    Prince, you were the greatest. May you rest in peace knowing you left us with beauty that still flows straight from your heart.

    I have been a music lover of all kinds since I was just a small boy! My people used to say I had it in my veins! I never learned to play, but get so absorbed by just the sound of different instruments. You have topped anything I've ever heard over my 51yrs on this earth. I am a minister and I'm so Spiritual; your type of playing definitely allows the Spirits to alien!!! You have been gifted. I have a 69 C10 Chevy that I just finished installing a new stereo in and can't wait to get some of your music up in it! "Highway Bound"
