A friend recently wrote a beautiful song in tribute to John Prine and I feel it certainly should be shared amongst musicians and lovers of music. https://youtu.be/oVLs5WXvDE4?si=u_aQcfCHlP_L5C3K |

As much as I liked Dylan, John stepped to the front for me. Thanks Dave for the welcome. BTW, Hughie has about 4 cd's out and most are all his writings. He sings one he wrote for his mother called "Margaret". Bring a lump to your throat. He is on facebook and I do believe has a web site. |

Carter Gillymore says what I felt when I first heard John's first album.Loved Sam stone,performed it a few times.He'll always be up there with the very best for me. Bonnie Raitt does some of John's songs;Angel from Montgomery for example. He was taken way too soon. |

10 Jan 25 - 08:32 AM (#4215066) Subject: RE: Tribute Song - for John Prine From: Vincent Jones I was in the new first year intake of a brand new sixth form college - Lancashire had gone comprehensive, and a big thing for us was a tiny room with a turntable that we could use at dinner time. We were pretty much split into two groups fighting to use it (music was tribal in the 1970s): Zappa, Beefheart and Blues enthusiasts vs David Bowie fans (i.e. "Zappa? How can you take seriously someone pictured sat on a bog?" vs "Bowie? He was shit in Davy Jones and the King Bees and he's still shit.") I was in the former category. Still am, I suppose, although my view of Bowie has changed. Anyway, one day someone brought in the LP "Age of Atlantic" and put on the penultimate track on side two: Sam Stone. Total silence. Someone picked up the arm and replayed it. It blew everyone away. The man was an extraordinary musician and song-writer. |
