I'd heard Prince was in attendance at Friday night's second of two Gayngs concerts at First Ave, but 90 percent of the time I hear that it's a bogus report (although it has been true more often of late). Now comes word via the Gayngs bunch that not only did he show for the one-night-only performance by the regional all-star band, he actually showed up with guitar in hand. "He jammed to the tunes side stage," reported manager Nate Vernon. "He wanted to play with us, but after watching for a while he told Conrad that we 'had it covered.' "
