Thank you for sharing this. He was one of the few shared favorites of my late partner and I. John’s spirit lives on his music and all of us who love his songs. I often wish I could hear his take on our current national situation. He is deeply missed
How lovely. I danced with my husband in the kitchen many times to the lyrics of John Prine. The memory is so bittersweet. John’s tribute brought both tears and smiles.
Thank you for sharing John, and thank you John Prine.
I've been a fan of John Prine forever. I remember that interview on CBS and thinking wow, how lucky you were. And now as his music lives on, you again got to share this night with his family. John was truly one of the greatest songwriters ever.
Thanks for the heads up on the CBS 'long form' of your visit with John Prine. On my watch later list, later meaning tonight. Sounds like a lovely diversion from current reality before bed.
Must be pretty cool when you’re standing on the stage of Wolf Trap talking to people you don’t know at all and people you do know better than anyone else in the whole world and you realize that yes, in that moment, you’ve indeed ended up sitting on a rainbow.
Happy belated birthday old friend. Hope all is well with you and yours. Still hoping to get together some day when I can get away to visit. I’m still working. Living in Tempe. I’m doing life saving infusions for my chronically ill patients. I was told I can’t retire because I know too much. Still a pro at starting IV’s and still loving what I’m doing. I go to people’s homes for their therapy. Mostly doing IGG infusions.( Immunoglobulin). Send me a note telling me what you are up to these days.
I fell in love with the Beatles in the 60's, but as I moved out into the world, I was most at home with Townes Van Zandt and John Prine. Bonnie Raitt's cover introduced me to Angel from Montgomery and I had to laugh about how he knew about my bawdy relationships "In Spite of Ourselves"
John Prine made me see and respect my brothers who served when I did not; what they went through in "Sam Stone". He had a sly understanding of my own "Illegal Smile. But I would bawl like a baby when I heard "Hello in There" thinking about my Grandparents out there on the Kansas plains, Ralph and Fanny Viola Penny Markwell.
Now I'm sitting here listening to the news repeating itself in my own forgotten dream, looking out from these hollow ancient eyes, wondering, who's out there?
Wow, what a great way to start my day thank you!!
Thanks for a wonderful personal reflection and sharing his lyrics as spoken word. Touching

"I still love America. I just don't know how to get there anymore." John Prine
"Oh, heck."

Amen💞
thanks for this precious gift of memory and song and the miracle of music
John, Thank you.
I was introduced to John Prine when he toured with Steve Goodman in the early seventies-magical evenings in Boulder.
This was beautiful, John!
Thank you John, that was sweet and soothed my missing J.P. soul

These comments say it all. John Prine was a treasure.

It was always John Prine The American Troubador.
Two of my favorite John’s.
Both who have a way with words.
