He had a private showing and put it up somewhere. Prince was shooting a lil mini movie and I don’t think it ever came out. We get there and cameras were everywhere. “In 2005, a week before our wedding, we both went to Paisley Park. “So we packed up the drum set, went to Prince’s house and we were jamming.” From this night, their long term friendship was born. “One day Cora called Prince to thank him for her drum set and he asked her to bring it over to play,” reflects Dunham. After the McComb tour Dunham went out to LA to rehearse with Frank. Fortunately for Dunham, Frank’s bass player couldn’t make the trip so Cora vouched for her boyfriend. After she received her new drums she left to go on tour with Frank in Japan. Cora picked the drum set and it was delivered. “He said pick your drum set and I’ll pay for it” recalls Dunham. He advised her that she needed to play on a better drums set so he offered to buy her one. Prince asked her who she liked to listen to, the type of gear she likes to play on. During the night, one of Prince’s confidants told Cora that he wanted to speak with her. It was that chance encounter that forever changed both of their lives. Prince performs onstage with 3RDEYEGIRL during his "HitnRun" tour on in Montreal, Canada. Cora was on drums, she texted me in shock saying ‘Prince just walked through the door’”. Someone told Prince about Frank, so Prince went to the club. “Prince was in LA and wanted to hear some live music. She was a drummer for (singer) Frank McComb,” he remembers. Dunham first met Prince through his wife. He and his wife, Cora, were members of Prince’s band. Dunham may have been one of the last few people to have a conversation with Prince.
