Sure does Budgy Australia cheers

[@interrowhimper]

Pretty heartbroken to hear that John is gone, today, but thankful he left these songs that reflect his great sense of humor.

[@BambizzzzzleBaby]

Rest in Paradise Mr. Prine. Thank you for your gift to us all ❤

[@BackYardGardeningTip]

John Prine is my #1, #2 and #3 most favourite artists. I am 65 and have been listening to him since I was about 20. I was homeless a few times and lost everything. Eventually getting back on my feet... the first music I would re-buy would be John Prine. He's as much a part of my heart as any family member I have. And I say that in a positive way. Just a couple of nights ago, Christmas Eve, 2018 I was invited to an afternoon guitar jam sharing music with a friend's mom. Her mom is 81. 'Mom' was having such a great time and at one point Peggy, her daughter, leaned over and asked her what her favourite music of all time was. Her response nearly knocked Peggy off her seat... without taking a second to think she said... John Prine. Peggy was shocked because for years I have tried to get Peggy to learn some John Prine and she always declined. As of Christmas Eve she has a brand new goal in life. Learn John Prine so we can play for her mother again.

Happy you're doing better and have a place to lay your head. I know that feeling. Peace and love

[@rickotto4742]

I'm 76. His music - the irony, the sense of humor, the depth - have kept me balanced since I first heard him. He'll be missed.

[@BackYardGardeningTip]

@@rickotto4742 Yeah John's music was always my favourite.

[@frankduross2]

I'm 57 and I've been listening to John Prine my whole life and I'm one of his many number 1 fans.

[@karenhall-gist6966]

I bought his first album in 1970 or 71 and I saw him live twice and I still love him and even though I'm almost 72 yrs old and still remember almost all his lyrics as they're too great to forget!

[@jesseshields3880]

Everytime I here a John Prine song it reminds me of my stepdad and best friend. I hope you are both playing your guitars together. I will remember you always.
