In these crazy all consuming days - a little time to mourn… JP.

Make the snow go
Make the wind blow
Let the spring come
Let the sun show

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Make the outlaw
Make the front door
Let the lock set
Let the hurt roar

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Run the border
Run the water
Let the fever break
Let it for her

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Hope everyone is well - thanks for listening.

Such a nice tribute to an icon John Prine. We will all miss him, but remember his contribution to the music world.

This is so sad, John Prine was such a legend and contributed so much to the world of Folk and Country. My brother used to play John Prine songs when I was little, so he has a very sentimental place in my heart.

There's a great Kacey Musgraves song about John. It's not entirely work appropriate, so I'd better not post it here, but it's about consuming a certain now-legal (here in Canada) substance with her hero, John Prine. I'm very glad she got to accomplish that goal of hers before he passed.

I'm sure he's wound up sittin' on a rainbow.

Bob, I thought of you immediately when I heard of Mr. Prine's passing. I've always thought there were similarities you had in style and projection of him. I thought at the time he may have been one of your musical influences. Sad to hear of his passing.

Bob,
A heartfelt tribute. I like the way those nananaahs part way through make it feel as if you`re just letting the lyrics come to you spontaneously.
I`m glad you shared the hurt here.

Robert

This is a great, obviously heartfelt song about a great singer/songwriter - a wonderful example of how simplicity is beauty, how less can be more.
Thanks for sharing Robert.
Stay well,
Mike
PS: Rhyming John Prine with Sunshine is priceless.

That was very touching. The simplicity of the instrumentation and vocals conveyed your heartfelt emotions. Out of respect for the subject, I will not give you an ovation but will sit in silence for a moment.

Bob,

What a terrific tribute . . . done with your usual fine musical touch. From a production standpoint, that you’ve put together something so stellar using a single track amazes me. A single track—but still so rich and poignant. Beautifully done!

All my best to you,

Deej

Short and to the point.

Well done.

Great tribute to one whose music touched most of our lives Bob. It's so heartfelt with the angst of these dark days of so much needless loss.

Donna,

Thank you.

Bob

David,

Thanks.

Bob

Charlie,

That's very kind - thank you.

Bob

Beautiful song. The lone acoustic is perfect for this.

Robert,

Much appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

To my shame I didn't know who John Prine was. Looked it up on internet. Now I know (a bit).
Your tribute to him with your song must have flattered him if he could hear it, I would say
Your song is simple but so sweet. And I liked it.
Well done, Bob!

Thanks,
Hans

Bob, the couldn't be a more appropriate tribute to John Prine than this song. The finger picked guitar, a vocal in the vain of John, and the Prine like lyrics. This song has it all.

Outstanding work.

So nice, Bob. Powerful lyric and delivery of same. Touched my heart. Time for mourning. Time for dancing later.

Bob

Lovely tribute, and beautifully done.

Keep well over there.

Peter

Bob,

An excellent tribute to a legend, well done!

Mike,

I appreciate that - thank you.

Bob

That is very kind - thank you.

Bob

Awesome tribute Bob. Beautiful vocal and lyric. Guitar was excellent. He was such an awesome performer. A very sad loss...

Bob,

"Let the hurt roar"

Yes.

Well done, as always.

I'm working my way through all of his records (listened to 5 so far - through Bruise Orange). This was a nice way to cap off today's listen...

A great tribute to JP, Bob. Very touching and your voice really carries it so well. A sad day when he said goodbye.

Deej,

Thanks so much - very appreciated.

Bob

Bob,

Thanks for doing this. Helps to close. Flag Decal was my anthem.


Bob

A worthy tribute, Bob.
We sure lost one of the great ones in John Prine.
At least we can console ourselves with his many gems, including 'When I get to Heaven.'
As the man himself said:

When I get to heaven, I'm gonna shake God's hand
Thank him for more blessings than one man can stand
Then I'm gonna get a guitar and start a rock-n-roll band
Check into a swell hotel; ain't the afterlife grand?

Stay safe.
Regards,
Leon

David ,

Thank you.

Bob

Hey Josie,

Thanks - much appreciated as always.

Bob

There are a lot of nice things we could say about this.

However, Janice said you gave us some more John Prine and that says it all.

Thanks for the fine tribute. Janice is singing harmony as I type

Thanks so much.

Bob

Hans,

Thanks so much.

Bob

Mario,

That is very kind - thank you.

Bob

Hi, Bob !

I had to listen to a lot
of John´s tunes before I
could listen to your splendid
tribute to him !

Over here he was not as
known as he must have been over
there and maybe he sort of got into
the shadow of even more famous folksingers ?

In any case I understand that
he must have ment a lot for
the folksinger- writers over there
and so I can well understand this
wonderful tribute to him !

Cheers
Dani

Tangmo,

Thanks so much...

Bob

Nice acoustic laid back tribute, Enjoyed this.

Thanks

That's a great tribute Bob! Nobody could do that any better than you! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Bob ...

As Charlie mentioned earlier, here is some John Prine in your vocals and musical style. I think he'd be real happy if could hear this. You truly captured his style and said just the right things. This sad yet yet so lovely. Wonderful, Bob!

Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...
