Steve O Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Well, Paradise has already been linked, Clay Pigeons hasn't, guess that's what I'll go with Never realized Roger Ebert discovered him until today. Been listening to his music all day.

ChevyVanMiller Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt and John. A holy musical trinity if ever there was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Nice piece by Jason Isbell about his friend John Prine. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/09/opinion/john-prine-jason-isbell.html This week, John Prine danced off this stage and onto the next one, and I like to think he’s somewhere sharing a song and a cocktail with all the friends he outlived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad, boss. Snuck in some travel right before the lockdown and now on enforced vacation so I can't complain (but sometimes I still do). You still in FLA? I was just monkeying around down on the Gulf Coast before Covid drove me home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just monkeying around down on the Gulf Coast before Covid drove me home. Still here in St Augustine. As I'm a (very low level) IT guy I guess I'm "essential". But I'm basically only doing remote, or pickup and return, work. Typically I do most of my work on-site. So needless to say things are pretty slow. Still clients call me constantly and I help them if I can. Wonder if I'll see any payment for this work? Hope you are finding ways to keep busy.

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) This is where I got to spend many of my formulative years. Got to lean on many of the trees in this video, in the hope that they would keep me upright when I needed them most. This was filmed a few years before my time, and it'll maybe bore the socks off the less patient crowd, but I did get to grow up, with these trees, and this particular songwriter who was one of the majors who introduced me to being something greater or smaller than I was at the time. How anyone can still have a cavalier attitude toward infecting our elders is beyond me. We lost a gem of a man here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iOVRg6aV-_A Edited May 21, 2020 by BringMetheHeadofLeonLett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought it might be CT, as they have a Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival, but those trees look like west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally at Yosemite (Camp Mather).... yes, I saw Prine 5 or 6 times there. Due to a huge fire about 6 years ago it's now in another Sierra Nevada location. He'd do a main stage performance, then a workshop the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Yosemite. Only been there a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
