I had the honor of spending an hour in John Prine"s hotel room at his invitation to my girlfriend and me at the Hawaiian Hilton in Honolulu in 1994. He was a down to earth, sweet, vulnerable, kind, funny, endearing man. Saw him in Austin in 1976 and Torrington, Connecticut in 2018. Same humble, gifted, perceptive gentleman. His music brings tears. His stuff will last as long as people have hearts and can feel empathy and can think.

Three gens of family can sing along to all Mr Prine's songs ..

Like John Sayles’ “Matewan” is to film, “Paradise” is the definitive, unmatched vocal outcry about what the coal industry did to Appalachia with its take and destroy attitude.

Check out the documentary “Harlan County USA” by Barbara Kopple. (Won an Academy Award). Coal country life was tougher than hell. RIP John, we’ll miss you so much. You reached us in heart and mind.

It broke my heart when I heard that John prine has died. I agree with some of the others. I'd like a lot of singer-songwriters Bill Anderson bill has read written mini songs for other artists John if you can hear me you will always be in my heart and mind. God I know you can hear me please Lord welcome John in heaven. Thank you God

I thought more of him than anyone I know

[@randybridges7365]

Impossible he’s the greatest

[@user-zo7mr3op8i]

Over 50 years after his first album and people still say who is john Prine. Can't understand that.

[@jimbanda]

I think may be the Bottom Line Club , Greenwich village july '78, possibly on King Biscuit , in support of Bruised Orange Album . There was a few signature gigs that year , but I think this is the one thats featured and I recall there is alot of info on the keys out there.
