How Do You Do? Posted April 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Sadly, John Prine passed away yesterday due to complications from the Coronavirus. He had also fought two battles with cancer. RIP John. When you meet your Daddy in heaven, I'm sure he will say to you, "When you're dead, you're a dead pecker-head!"

Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted April 8, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Sad, sad, sad....I was always amazed at how he was able to enter Sam Stone into the setlist of all the shows I got to see. He is a major part of my philosophy of life and the big old goofy world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP acududeman Posted April 9, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 One night in 1987 I wandered over to the Bluebird Café (Nashville) on Writer's Night. The place is super small and intimate.....I was sitting at a table near the front - about 15 feet from the stage. About an hour into the show in wanders John Prine, joined by an Irish looking dude who played an orange Strat. Prine played for about 40 minutes then left.....priceless memory....so grateful. One of a kind..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How Do You Do? Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 In the early 80's, I caught a John Prine show. Steve Goodman was on the tour with him. They played "City of New Orleans" with several additional verses - improvised on the spot. Like acududeman, "priceless memory" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
