Stevie meets Marilyn Martin during the tour because she is a back up singer to Joe's band. She sings back up for Stevie to this day. Her dad introduced her for several weeks during the beginning but then went home. Her last tour with Benmont Tench.

Was Thousand Days written right after that incident at Princes house? I know some of the lyrics are about the kitchen floor incident, but I think she really wrote it right after she “last” saw him at the Purple Rain premiere in July 1984 (?) it’s one youtube (of course) you see Prince walk into the premiere on the red carpet at Mann’s Chinese Theater after all the other celebrities, he is the last to arrive, and then very very quickly Stevie and Rebecca Galverez (?) and another woman with Stevie walk through right after him. Stevie has this look on her face as if she’s been crying or she’s hurt but is trying to hide it behind a smile..
