Now this is something I like to share with you. Some pages ago, I mentioned Iris Dement in a reaction and clearly did not know John Prine. Shame on me but even more a pity. When knowing the name, I all of a sudden saw it popping up everywhere. What a great guy he must have been, great texts, a true poet, mocking himself and enjoying every bit of it. And so much welcome by his fellow musicians. I really like to thank you guys on the forum to point my attention to John Prine.

John Prine has a great writing style imo. A- not so snarky -protester. A similar, somewhat under the radar, lyricist is John Hartford

Both artists have a boatload of tunes that are covered by others.

It must be a hard place to live where every club you walk into has a real musician playin' real music all day long and all night long ! This boy did a good job on Before You 'Cuse Me . I really thought I was hearing a young Wille singing Crazy . I will have to listen to the rest and finish my comments .

Any time a musician can sit on a stool w/an acoustic guitar and perform solo , he has somethin' to say. 

 Ahem , now I know why he sounds like a young Willie Nelson when he sings "Crazy" .

The Captain of her heart rang a bell. It used to be a very well liked song.

Jana Mila is less my size...

In 10,000,000 years his music will still be ahead of the times .

Thanks for that @Joe . I wasn't aware of that concert, but it seems there is a fair bit of it in the Tube. And the sound quality is fairly good for the time.

And with such wind on Maui, 1970! Look at those field expedient mic "filters" . . .

After watching that entire concert online, I asked my lead guitar guy why he has fifteen pedals on his pedal board and Jimmy had two.

He said, "Jimmy only has to sound like Jimmy. I have to sound like Jimmy, Stevie Ray, Clapton, David Gilmour, Keith Richards, Knopfler, Toy Caldwell, and myself."

This belongs here today.

One of their best!! Every time I ride thru La Grange…mysteriously I’m listening to ZZ TOP!!  How does that happen!

And now for something completely different...

Someone showed me this earlier this evening. I thought it might be useful information towards solving the problem of how to play Rachmaninov if your hands are too small. It seems it is easy: all you need is a good carpenter and a capable assistant.

speaking of good carpenters, this turned up a couple of years ago on the geman forum. I don't know if it has been here yet. If not, it should have.
