"The artist still known as Prince:
    Pencil Logic is the tongue-in-cheek title (think Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic) of the latest CD by area singer/songwriter Lee Prince. But anyone who's seen him live expects a modicum of parody - the singing guitarist's take on Harry Chapin's Cat's in the Cradle is the morbid Chinese restaurant spoof, Cat's in the Kettle.
   "Let's see, how do I categorize Lee?" asks fellow singer/songwriter Jason Colannino. "All that I can say is that he is genuine. His style of music is true Americana. The best folk I've ever heard, with a tease of blues. He has a great sense of musicianship and an honest voice."
    The fingerpicking guitarist's voice graces both originals (the title track; Bright and New) and unique covers (the Kingston Trio's Scotch and Soda; Fats Waller's Ain't Misbehavin') on Pencil Logic."

Lee Prince - Storyteller

    "There is a levity to Lee Prince's music that makes you want to smile. Yet as you listen, you get a sense that this veteran singer/songwriter has a message. In "Pencil Logic," a seemingly innocuous tune, Prince weaves a yarn centered on pencils that go out of control and make mistakes. The user of the pencil, in Prince's world, is absolved of personal responsibility, but the reality is quite different.
    In "The Road I Drive," co-written by Marie Nofsinger, the storyteller sings of a man who makes some bad choices but knows that he is the one who chooses his course.
    And in "Scrambled Eggs and Toast," a bubbly Jimmy Buffett type tune, Prince tells the tale of a friend who says someday he'll get away and go fishing but never quite makes it.
    For Prince, who's been covering well known songs since the 1960's, music is about fun and he enjoys sharing that with audiences who have come to listen over the years.  "I like to play songs that mean something to me and hopefully to someone else," says the West Palm Beach resident, who is perhaps the dean of local acoustic musicians.
    While Florida is the backdrop for many of his tunes, it really only comes to the forfront in "The Place You're to Be," a children's song about all that Florida has to offer."

4th Avenue Stage

Delray Affair

 

The former Mulligan's retains its cozy charm, its open rear deck with pinlighted tree, and two pool tables in a back room.

Open for four months, this hole in the wall is establishing itself as a college hangout, a place for musical experimentation, jam sessions and guest-musician sit-ins, as well as a Wednesday home for local acoustic rock singer Lee Prince. The mood is as open as the interior, a warm house-size space with trophies, large beer mirrors and neon signs that contrast with thick, dark-wood tables and chairs set against white walls. A cozy living-room area with sofas and armchairs has a coffee table arrayed with such magazines as Wine Spectator and Food Arts.
