ChevyVanMiller Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 It’s rare when you get to sing a song you wrote about one of your idols to that idol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 One of my all time favorites. Mentioned on the Joe Diffie thread that he's beaten cancer twice, not sure how much fight he has left for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Boy, that's tough news. He had his left lung removed in2013, so this is going to be a tough battle for him. Fingers crossed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw your post I thought he was not going to make it. Now I am more hopeful that he will recover. 4 hours ago, Lurker said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he had part of his left lung removed two years ago. Can't imagine how much function it has left, but better than none at all. Fingers crossed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) John Prine is one of those brilliant poets and guitarists, on the fringe of "pop star" status. I have been loving his music since the seventies. He is on my top of the pops list with J.J. Cale, Leon Russell, The Band (two original members are alive), and a few others. I am not ready to let go of him yet. ? Edited April 4, 2020 by rockpile clarification 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
