John Prine

One of the things I have come to look forward to in life is my annual pilgrimage to see John Prine. For those of you who don’t know who John Prine is, there is a great web sight called http://www.jpshrine.org/ that has a lot of useful information. John Prine is a classic a singer and songwriter with ties to rock, country and folk. I first started to listen to John Prine when I worked as a mold maker for a sculpture named Abbe Godwin. This was probably some time in the late 90’s. She had an old cassette that I would make her listen to over and over again. I ended up seeing him at the old theatre in Greensboro around 1998. I would go on to see him in 2001 and 2002 at the wolf trap. I introduced my friend James Terrel to his music sometime in-between those two concerts. I saw him in Cary, NC in 2004 and the Warner Theater last night. It is always a great time listening to his songs about simple people doing not so simple things. He sings songs about life. Great Stuff.
