Hello in there — 8 Comments

  1. …thoroughly refreshing break. Thx.

    The best treat of Halloween last night was the parents of the not-quite 2 year old across the street introducing her to us over her first-ever trick-or-treat.

    We kind of melted when we opened the door and looked waay down and there’s this little fairy-voice saying “twikotweet” from an equally tiny – but truly radiant – smile looking expectantly up at us.

    Princess!

    Best!

  2. Listened to a lot of early Prine when I was a young person. Which was a long time ago, and sort of got away from most music for a couple of reasons. Played his first two albums a lot.

  3. We knew somebody who worked for John Prine, and ended up hearing a lot of his music. Some of it is very fine indeed, and the song you linked is probably the best of that.

  4. John Prine is a treasure. I’ve loved him since I first heard him.

    Roger Waters of Pink Floyd credits Prine as an influence:

    His is just extraordinarily eloquent music — and he lives on that plane with Neil Young and Lennon.

    I saw that quote before it appeared in wikipedia. It’s somewhat surprising given how out-there Floyd is. I wouldn’t have expected it.

    Though it is true that Waters also credited “Music from Big Pink” by The Band (Dylan’s pivotal rock group after he went electric) as an influence second only to “Sgt Pepper’s.”

  5. Chris:

    They had it in, took it out, and apparently put it in again.

    Weird.

    And I don’t think it was just me not seeing it; I checked it pretty carefully and it was gone, and now it’s right back in there again.
