Sign o' the Times (song): "Sign o' the Times" is the lead single from American musician Prince's 1987 album of the same name.

(Many of the tracks from both of these albums ended up on the album "Sign o' the Times".)  Prince sings and performs the entire track all by himself; however this was one of the songs where he removed the other band member's contributions.  In this case Susannah Melvoin's.  "Sign o' the Times" was reportedly written and composed on a Sunday, when Prince usually wrote his most introspective songs.

George Hamilton Green: George Hamilton Green, Jr. (May 23, 1893 – 1970) was a xylophonist, composer, and cartoonist born in Omaha, Nebraska.  He was born into a musical family, both his grandfather and his father being composers, arrangers, and conductors for bands in Omaha.  From age four G.H. Green showed a prodigious talent as a pianist; he then took up the xylophone and by the age of eleven was being promoted as the “world’s greatest xylophonist” and was playing for crowds of 7,000-10,000.  In 1915, when Green was 22 years old, a review in the United States Musician stated: "He has begun where every other xylophone player left off.  His touch, his attack, his technique, and his powers of interpretation in the rendition of his solos being far different than other performers.  To say his work is marvelous and wonderful would not fully express it."  George Hamilton Green wrote several pieces for solo ragtime xylophone with accompaniment, as well as a xylophone method book which continues to be used by percussion pedagogues across the country.  Some of his compositions for xylophone include: "Ragtime Robin", "Cross Corners", "Charleston Capers", "Rainbow Ripples", "Log Cabin Blues", "The Whistler", and "Jovial Jasper"

Live Europaturnén MCMXCVII: Live Europaturnén MCMXCVII is a live album by Pavement, which was recorded at a concert in Europe in 1997.

John Serry: John Serry (born 1954, John Serry Jr., in New York City) is a jazz pianist and composer, as well as a composer of contemporary classical music works that feature percussion, on which he also doubles.  His debut solo album was 'Exhibition' (1979 Chrysalis Records), for which he received a Grammy Nomination (Best Instrumental Arrangement) for his composition, 'Sabotage'.  The players included Carlos Vega drums, Jimmy Johnson bass, Gordon Johnson bass, Bob Sheppard saxophone/woodwinds, Gordon Gottlieb percussion and Barry Finnerty guitar.  His second album, 'Jazziz' (1980 Chrysalis Records) received four stars in Downbeat Magazine and feature review of the month in Keyboard magazine; it was also the inspiration for the naming, in 1983, of JAZZIZ magazine by publisher Michael Fagien.  The personnel was the same as that of 'Exhibition', except with Mike Sembello on guitar.  Serry's 3rd album was 'Enchantress' (1996 Telarc) about which Downbeat Magazine wrote: "He has a strong sense of melody, his touch is confident, his ideas are sensible and his playing is beautifully controlled."  Of 'Enchantress', Jim Aikin wrote in Keyboard magazine: "What a pleasure to find that he is back, still turning out charts that turn heads by turning corners."  and Hilary Grey wrote in JazzTimes: "Serry's fleet fingered runs on songs like the jaunty, catchy 'DYT it' are both technically impressive and subtle."  'Enchantress' was recorded after Serry had been awarded the Grand Prize in the 1995 JAZZIZ magazine 'Keyboards on Fire' pianist/composer competition, judged by Dave Brubeck and Bob James (grand piano awarded by Steinway).  The musicians were John Riley drums, Gerry Niewood and Ralph Bowen sax and Tom Brigandi bass.  All of the compositions (and arrangements) for all three albums were by Serry and he was Producer for 'Exhibition' and 'Jazziz'.
