RIP John Prine

[M61A1MECH]

Country music lost a great songwriter due to COVID19. Will always enjoy his music.

Sorry we didn't pick up on Your Post earlier, Steve.

 

Wife 'n yours truly did a buncha stuff with Her singing, and us quietly backing up on a beat-up old 12 String, back in the 60s 'n 70s. Mostly 'covering' Roger Miller... and John Prine. LOVED Prine's lyrics - no better way to get a picture of North America 'back then'.

 

Best of all, the music was simple; most easy enough for a bush-league picker to follow, and our dear Wife was/is such a Singer we had invitations to 'Bring the gitbox... AND your Wife' to many gatherings.

 

Miller is awesome, no denying that. But... for our money John Prine laid out Lyrics better than anybody. A Gift from The Big Guy himself; for ALL to enjoy, and Learn about Life.

 

Just spent three full days replaying his songs non-stop. Can't keep 'em out of our head, even after turning off the 'Google Player'.

 

RIP, Johnny-boy. Cannot thank you enough for so many Decades of beautiful Lyrics, and toe-tapping Tunes.

 

Sadly, WRIDR

He was also suffering from stage 4 lung cancer.

Ya gotta give The Guy HUGE credit for keeping on keeping on.

 

Whutta Fighter, he'll always our most favourite Artist, and we'll miss him horribly. God speed, Johnny Boy.

 

Hugs, WRIDR
