    In April 1984, I was working as a concierge at the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City. I answered a call from a guest's room, and the man on the other end asked where he could get a bottle of whiskey. I told him that was a bit complicated in Salt Lake City, but I offered to get one for him. I walked a few blocks to the state liquor store and delivered the bottle to his room. When the door opened, I realized it was John Prine. I said, "you're John Prine." He said, "that's right." Told him I was a big fan. He said, "do you want to come to the show tonight?" He was playing at Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the U of Utah. I said, "are you kidding." What a show. What a songwriter. What a body of music he created. Thank you, John, for the many memories -- and for a great show in April 1984.

      That is too cool! You are lucky. But then again, you were willing to go the extra mile for a patron and he recognized the value of and appreciated your good service and rewarded it. So I guess it really wasn’t so much about luck as it was the character of the people involved in the encounter.

I sure enjoy seeing Nanci on youtube but only wish I had found her sooner, I would have driven all the way to TEXAS just to see her perform. SHE STILL MOVES ME.

      If you listen to Nanci's entire song book, you may fins=d that she is equal to any singer-songwriter out there. Especially her older stuff. Like when she was playing in Boston. If you can ever find it, her song "Michael's Song" is a real classic. About how hard and lonely the life of a singer-songwriter is.

    John loved doing duets with female singers and this is a prime example. Every time I hear another John Prine song it becomes my latest current favourite. Nanci is perfect in this setting and has recording a couple of terrific duet albums in her own right. Miss you, John.

    This song first drew me to this extraordinarily gifted song writer. By an d by i got listen to him , i kept on discovering this awesome human being whose songs always dripped with sparkling fun words , words that talked about basic goodness and kindness we seem to be doing without while going through our lives . Words that could talk about the loners , the old ones , the broken ones for each and very condemned human being. RIP John. Ther'll never be another like you.
