Methinks an "Illegal Smile" may have been part of your listening.

So sad this didn't end well.
We will miss you, Mr Prine.

This really hits hard.

I hope he is enjoying his 9 mile long cigarette.

If you can find a recording of the Big Sur Festival Bread an Roses, you will have a wonderful duet of Kris Kristofferon and Joan Baez killing it on Old Folks,

One of the voices in my head went quiet today. I am so deeply sad.

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day
But old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"

Thanks for the soundtrack of my life, John.

They are all leaving us David . Once the tears subside maybe I will have something inspirational to say .

I was so hoping he’d pull through. His song “When I get to heaven” has come to be.

I've known a lot of folks who really admired John Prine.

For those that this is a personal loss due to what his music meant - im so sorry.

There are many - like me - who will come to know more about John Prine because of what we will learn

Hello, David. Good to hear from you again. Not necessarily on this occasion of course.

He was an inspiration singer / songwriter....R.I.P . John Prine, and Godspeed

His passing brought a tear to my eye, I saw him live at our local folk festival years ago, he headlined the Saturday night main stage, fantastic performance, I remember it so clearly, he was fantastic.

britman · « **Reply #47 on:** April 08, 2020, 10:16:30 AM »

Sad, very sad. One of my all time favorites also. I have a wiring harness on the bench to re-do this morning. I know what CD's will be playing......

One of the voices of my generation. As a very young man he wrote immortal songs with an unexplainable empathy that compares in my mind to Emily Bronte writing Wuthering Heights as a youg girl who had never left the farm.

It just seems so impossible that a 22 year old kid wrote Hello in There .

Sad to see him go. Rodney Crowell referes to him as "The Architect of Americana Music" https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=rodney%20crowell%20on%20john%20prine&epa=SEARCH_BOX Sorry FB haters, it's the only place I've found it!

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #51 on:** April 08, 2020, 07:25:02 PM »

Dorcia and I faced the west and sent him off. Hope he has a good trip. He had a unique insight to the human condition and could make you understand..

Stupid virus

Rest in peace John. I've enjoyed your music for decades and hope you enjoy that 9 mile smoke.

Thanks for your music.

You will not be forgotten.

Agreed Dusty...and equally impossible that the same young man wrote a song from the perspective of an old woman, "Angel from Montgomery" and when he sang it you believed every word. JP's songs will live on in all of us...and he is irreplaceable...in my humble opinion he is the finest American song writer! Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams and Bob Dylan are up there with him...but this guy could make me cry and smile at the same time...It's so hard for me to describe how beautiful the truth and sadness in his music make me feel.

I hate grave yards and old pawn shops, for they always bring me tears, can't forgive they way they robbed me, of my childhood souvenirs" RIP Mr. Prine and thank you for making my world a better place

Ahh, thanks for that, Charles. I've been "taping" ACL for years. I'll look it up.

I always meant to come back and add a few final words to this after JP's passing.

Some of the younger, newer fans have a hard time understanding why this man has affected some of us so greatly.

I realize now that this special, totally unique, soul to soul connection I had with JP over the course of a lifetime, was one he shared with literally, millions of others.

I think a small part of a lot of people died when he did.

JP was always there with an appropriate comforting song, no matter what life brought to you.

As a young beat cop, JP was like the wise old grizzled vet, who could make always make sense in the midst of crazy chaos; Six O'Clock News, for apparently senseless suicides, Sam Stone, for people who were heros in another time and place, now lost in the throes of addiction,,,, Bruised Orange for all sorts of tragic mindless accidents,,,,, Where Have all the Hobos Gone To, for the true desperation of street urchins, living off the scraps of others,,, Hello in There for unseen hidden pain, of the isolated and shut ins,,,, Summer's End, for the true cost of addictions,,,, etc, etc, etc,,,...

The man who made sense of it all, for so many of us, is no longer here,,, I don't think anyone is going to fill those shoes any time soon.

I realize this is late to post the info, but in about an hours time, there is going to be a live streaming JP tribute on this youtube link, it's also available through his FB pages (be careful of suspicious fishing links, I think I've seen a few already).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv05dPfmx40&fbclid=IwAR32XvZtphiPW7HL__N6AsuwaK3hRsK10-2Ontm0izknRjX_qR8owSHNkIk

According to Fiona Prine, this on line tribute event is schedule to be available until 14 June 2020 and then no longer available; so if you're a fellow Prine fanatic, you may want to take this in, the opportunity may not come around again.

I won't be having a Handsome Johnny, but I will be smoking a 9 Mile Cigarette in his honor, and there is a good possibility of an Illegal Smile

Stay safe and take care

The tribute is excellent, don't miss it. Makes one sadder than ever, though.
