I remember exactly where and when I first heard of John Prine. I was working in a Liquor Control Board of Ontario outlet in 1975, earning money for my tuition and putting food on my table. One night I was unloading a box of Szekszardi onto a shelf .. while another employee was going on about this new album he had just purchased ... the album was by John Prine ... well, that's were and when I first heard about John Prine. The next day I bought the album, Prime Time. Needless to say I was deeply impressed and moved by his artistry.
