GUEST,Beth Williams | When Did You First Hear John Prine?? (58* d) | RE: When Did You First Hear John Prine?? | 20 Sep 06 |
I first heard John at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 1971. I was 15, and "Sam Stone" blew me away. The song about Jesus (jesus, you look tired, He said...Jesus, so do you...) and the one about the star-crossed loverw who never met were a revelation. I still play "Hello in There" now and then. I have been working in nursing homes for 12 years, and this song resonates deeply in me when caring for the old folks who are almost gone. |
