Good story, and time well-spent reading it. Then the song...WOW. Very cool, Tom. I once wrote one with all Blues titles, but they didn't make as much sense as this one. Very clever indeed. I played many of those songs, and that is another connection this one has with your audience. Very relatable.

I must admit I don't know John Prine.
And I saw many here did, so I looked him up on youTube.
I listened to Hello in There.
But before I did, I listened to your song Tom.
And it's a very good one, with nice vocals that fit this kind of music perfectly!
Even better than the vocals of John Prine in that YouTube song...
I fear Prine lovers will hate me for ever, saying that. But it is what it is.
You sang and played it very good. And what an original idea to use songtitels for lyrics!
I never thought of that...
Hans

Nice work.
I remember back in the 60s there was more than a few songs created using the titles of other songs. They were comedic.
This is well done and thought out. I like it. Good mix and your vocals fit in perfectly. Thanks Herb. I appreciate your comments, Tom Well, anything with John Prine gets my vote. The song is well put together and the story is a treasured memory.
Good one, Tommy.
Vic Vic, thank you very much for listening and commenting, Tom

I don't know John Prine (too young, from the wrong continent, wrong genre preferences, you get the idea), but this is a pretty good song.
Great vocals, great arrangement and production, and I finally know who John Prine is/was.

Very cool intro story Tom. He was a force of nature. Awesome tribute. Must have been a real honor meeting him. Lovely song and excellent vocal. Perfectly framed with the backtrack. Well done..

Hey Tom,
Loved the backstory! And a great idea using the song titles to create your song, very effective!
Excellent! Thanks for stopping by Dave, Tom Another wonderful back story and what a cool idea for a tribute song. Love it, Tom!
(I know some JP songs, mostly the hits, but I never really followed his career or gave him his proper due. I suppose that's because his performances weren't as appealing to me as say, Bonnie Raitt's or John Denver's. Recently I heard 'How Lucky' at the end of that Dog movie and I thought, 'That sounds like a JP song.' Sure enough. I went home, learned it, and sang it for weeks. And the other day someone introduced me to JP's 'I Remember Everything.' Beautiful.) I hope you listen to some more JP. He has some songwriting gems. Thanks for listening, Tom

Tom, Cool idea, backstory and excellent musical take. Pro mix & listens well. Ending was neat, but too short. Thank you for sharing. Misha. "Here is a few minutes of your life you will never get back." LOL You know how to pitch it right

Tom,
Great back story to this tune. Boy, does that acoustic guitar pop . . . and the mandolin as well (can’t believe that mandolin is a real track—it sounds so crisp and live). Beautiful production in that regard in particular, but really in all respects. Perfect backing vocals on the chorus and throughout. By the way, love your approach to the write and serves as a fitting tribute to one of the best. Terrific vocal . . . wow, really like this one a lot. Just excellent!
All my best to you,
Deej

Tom, at the risk of showing my musical ignorance I must confess I've heard the name of John Prime, and would probably recognize some of his hits if I'd heard them, but as far as I know I've never been exposed to his music and am completely unfamiliar. I thought the idea you used for a tribute to his music was great, and you seemed to have pulled it off masterfully. I really like the instrumentation in this. I particularly liked how you introduced each of the instruments at the beginning - and the way that bass came in was really good. Loved the outro as well. Great music!
Brad Brad, I hope you listen to some of JP's songs. He was a great writer. Thanks for listening, Tom Good one, Tom. John Prine do get around, doesn't he? I especially like it when John teams up with Iris DeMent. Thanks Ed. Glad you liked it, Tom I have to admit to not being a Prine fan. Just one of those things.
Lovely band/arrangement and the bvox are a treat. Ray, Even though you don't like JP, thanks for taking the time to listen, Tom

Great song Tom! Really captures the John Prine vibe! You keep knocking out the hits man! Thanks Man, Tom Tom,
A clever write. (and a cool story!)
You have lead an interesting life. Keep it up!!
Thanks for the memories. I learned to write from that first record.
You get a better recorded acoustic guitar sound than anyone around. (jealous)
Production is "just right". Excellent mix.
fj I believe everyone has a story to tell. Some just choose not to. Thanks for the nice review,Tom What a cool song. I've had similar ideas of using song titles, but just never pulled the trigger. Now I'm glad I didn't! lol Your execution was fantastic. Way to go Tom (and Charlie) for great ideas.
I agree that the back story really took it to another level with details and a drink recipe! Love it!
thanks for doing something so cool for us all to enjoy.
Of course the production is outstanding as well!
-C CAM, thanks for checking in. I figured that not everyone would know who JP was so I included the recipe. Glad you enjoyed it,Tom

Hans, thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts,Tom I don't know John Prine (too young, from the wrong continent, wrong genre preferences, you get the idea), but this is a pretty good song.
Great vocals, great arrangement and production, and I finally know who John Prine is/was. BDT, I figured there would be a number of people on here who didn’t know who JP was. Now that you know my job is done, Thanks, Tom

SUPERB! In both concept and production. Janice said that this gave her the same “tugging at her heart” feeling that John Prine’s songs do. The little melancholy hints of his melody lines and the ways you used his song titles brings those songs forth so clearly. Your vocals are great and, man, your dobro is absolutely perfect as is the acoustic guitar. Great work also with the mando tracks. The open/airy NAILED mix presents a wonderful soundstage on the monitors. We also loved your backstory and it made the song even more pleasing. Thanks too for reminding us to listen to more John Prine! And thanks for reminding us of how much we've enjoyed your campsite stories! J&B

I appreciate the mention of the dobro. Only someone with extensive knowledge of JP’s catalogue would have picked up on the melody nuances. Your remarks always make me smile, Tom
