John Prine In the Kitchen How Lucky

[@gradus1939]

I am 84 years old (1939) and live in the Netherlands. Been following USA country and pop music since 1950 and I still do. First heard of John Prine upon his passing on April 7 , 2020. From then on I follow everything fom him. Never heard of him before then. What a fantastic musican! Thanks for those old beautiful recordings in the kitchen. Beautiful again but it also shows the transience of life.

He has a unique way of handing you your heart and then somehow coming up with a hopeful ending. I heard a 30 something rap musician reviewing his music for the first time. He listened to Hello in There. At first he was over commenting because it's so different from what he's used to. Then he started paying attention. When he got to the line "We lost Davey in the Korean War", he just said "woah, this is heavy" and let's it play. Exactly. I'm 66 and one of my friends used to play few of his songs in college. Our group were all geologists from Missouri in the central the US. Kentucky is the next state over and Paradise clicked with us. But I never listened to any of his other music until after he died and I saw how upset people were. Now I try to listen to every new song I can at least once. I swear I grow with every song. That's nice when you get older. Something new to make you laugh or cry.

This song has been guiding me through my early 20s. Thanks, John!

How lucky would one man (or woman) get to sit down at a kitchen table and listen to John Prine sing them a song? Very!

[@jacquismith3277]

It's such a treat. I'm loving the ones I've seen. What a man. ❤❤

[@brucejobe4609]

One of the greatest American song writers to have ever walked this earth,, or sit in a kitchen.

[@johnartois447]

Might be one of the best recordings of this song. John Prine wrote some of the best songs in this life. They never get old.

[@abiraghi]

How lucky can one get being around that table, listening to the greatest songwriter ever?

[@bgrigg07]

John sitting at a kitchen table and singing is Prime Prine.

[@schuka1]

So grateful for this man and his music. Still get misty eyed listening to his music. Miss him.

[@cris1186]

Yeah, man.

[@cynthiameador4924]

Saw John Prince for the first time in 1980 and have loved him ever since. Saw him for the last time in Phoenix in 2012. Stood out side and waited to get an autograph for over an hour. Worth every minute. He was generous with his time and talked with us for a long time. A night I will forever treasure !! 😊🌠

[@BuccaneersBliss]

What a beautiful vignette. Miss ya John. Thanks for all the great music down through the years. We gotta go now.

[@azcharlie2009]

He was, and always will be, a treasure.....

[@Whysicist]

Great to hear him sing with his wife, Rachel. Golly… how cool are they!

[@cherylzwart8910]

Lou Aus. What a remarkable artist. Listened to his songs for hours. Make you feel so good. Bless John Prine gone but never forgotten

[@kurtdavidson9808]

Makes me cry a little every time I see John play. It’s a little colder without John. God Bless you. What a sweet considerate man.

[@lynnkrieg]

This would been heaven- sitting at the table listening to John jam out, all I can do is sit with this stupid grin on my face I love it...rest in heaven John- thank you

[@gmoney1573]

Hope he’s drinking a vodka and ginger ale and smoking a cigarette 9 miles long

[@conordaugher123]

Priceless! This (I hope) is what heaven sounds like🎶.

[@davidprovance6609]

I want this played at my funeral

[@gmac1762]

What an awesome release!! Thank you. Loved the man and his music! Sad day when Brother John left us ): So real, so genuine and down to earth. High quality ! RIP

[@lisaboldt7307]

All these clips coming out now are just fantastic. They just reaffirm what a great and interesting person as well as songwriter/singer John Prine was...something I picked up right away all the way back to the early 70's when I first discovered him when our local FM station starting playing Illegal Smile. His songs have been a part of my life ever since.

[@williamhopper7873]

So glad I just found this.

[@waynegatehouse3998]

That is stunning, everything in Newfoundland happens at the kitchen table, food for everyone 😋 and then music and friends, oh and maybe the odd drink or two. Brilliant 👏. Rip. John.

[@eddiedelbridge9607]

What an amazing songwriter! For sure an American treasure!

[@davidldavis5206]

All I can add is thank you to John and the family; they knew my cousin Del McCoury. Dave

[@holyworrier]

[@brynrobertson6760]

Was fortunate to have caught him live a few years back. A memory to replay a million times.

[@deanbabcock588]

I'm lucky to have seen him 3 times

[@barrywhitley2535]

Rest in peace John and Rachel.

[@marleyorange]

pretty lady

[@joelzdepski9884]

I just noticed the other guitarist is playing a right hand guitar upside down and left handed. I think I would do whatever it took to jam around the kitchen table with JP too!

[@Yrksman]

Genius

[@KathgoKat]

@@steviedxo How on earth could any woman have let him go ???

[@mamasuzy79]

@@KathgoKat have you ever been romantically involved with a musician? Lol

[@obligatorystatement]

Old age woke.

[@downhillwelder73]

I just wish I could go back in time and knock that cigarette out of his hand and tell him what going to happen to him later on.
