I saw Prine the other night on a replay of "Sessions at W54th" on PBS. I'm hoping Frank or Art picks up on this thread as he told the interviewer, John Hiatt, about going down the the Olde Town School while he was still a postman and taking various things. He mentioned then about going to a club across the street on open mic night and singing three songs he had written. After hearing him, they hired him as a regular of sorts. The three songs were "Paradise," "Sam Stone," & "Hello In There." No wonder they hired him.
