    My older brother in law used to play John Prine records when I was a young boy.. I use to always wonder why he played that stuff. As I grew older I began to understand why. I'm 56 this year, and John is probably the music I play most. I completely get it now.

    It's great how John has the confidence have someone pick with him who's technically a better player, coz he knows he's the big dog here. John Burns is very deferential, as he is when they play Paradise in another part of this video. I think of John as the Mark Twain of our lives.

I know some day when I hear him, I won't be sad, but these days I still smile when I hear him, but then smile turns upside down.

    @jordanthecat Same here. I found John Prine fall of '73 and it was a perfect fit. I had been playing guitar a while but not musically talented. Then John Prine revealed what I had been missing. His music, his words, his heart. Dylan (called him the best songwriter on the scene) and Prine were all I ever needed.
