I was so sad to hear this morning that John Prine is on a ventilator and not doing well.
I absolutely love him and his music. He has been a staple in my life since I was in my teens and my aunt introduced him to me through his song Illegal Smile which she was learning to play on her guitar.
I have all his albums and have seen him at least 10 times...this just breaks my heart. He has survived cancer twice,had just been inducted into the songwriters hall of fame, and was still releasing music and doing shows. I am not sure why but I just can’t seem to stop thinking about him. 😔

Yes, I read yesterday that he was in the hospital. I really hope he pulls through. His music is part of many of my early 80s memories.

He was THE MAN. Can't count the back road drives I've taken with Sir Prine on the radio. I've seen him live several times, and every time was magic.
Bye Prine

His music carried us all over the country on family vacations. Such honest lyrics.
We’re playing his music all today.
