glad to see John Prine get a major shout out...

[bahboo]

at the Grammys. His death was so senseless...didn't have to happen. Like so many others...fuck. Anyhow, a glass raised to John Prine and all the others...

[tonedevil]

1. If you are raising a glass...

it should be a Handsome Johnny, vodka and ginger ale. There is a good chance one might wish to obtain an illegal smile to celebrate, but that's getting to be a legal smile in more and more states.

2. yessir....well said....

and gonna kiss that pretty girl....

I don't know if I see the John Prine tie in.

[Lucinda]

4. Hear, Hear! Prost to one of my all time faves. What an incredible soul. His music lives on, but he

is sorely missed.

[JoeOtterbein]

5. John Prine was...

...the coolest ever when I was young.

And even cooler to me now.

[Gus2525]

6. I shed a tear watching this. A fitting tribute to the quintessential storyteller and troubadour.

He should still be with us. Fvck tRump and his lies about covid.

[bahboo]

7. big ass lump in the throat to be sure....

and yep...fuck trump.....still very angry about this....

[MuseRider]

8. An amazing and incredible man.

I am glad to see this. I hate the grammys, crotchety old lady that I have become, so I never watch it anymore. I stopped the year that Paul Simon and his Rhythm of the Saints lost out to Natalie Cole singing duets with recordings of her father. Long long time ago.

John Prine, he really was different and brilliant and needed.

[bahboo]

9. yes...and I just watch the Grammys to try and stay current....

crotchety old man here. As I can tell from your sig, also a musician. I'm actually liking a lot of what I hear tonight...

[MuseRider]

10. I am very pleased to know

that you are liking what you hear! I do not try to stay current. I do appreciate all the forms music has taken since I stopped listening but I do not like a lot of it. It is not bad it is just not for me. Most of my musicians are still kicking and playing so I am happy and getting new stuff to listen to. I am a classical musician so I keep busy outside of what the Grammys are mostly about, on TV anyway.

Glad you recognized the sig. A lot of people do not but I never get tired of explaining it and will never retire it even when I retire, probably sooner than later. Gotta find a new instrument to learn. Waiting for some Northumbrian Pipes .

[bahboo]

11. good luck with those pipes....man...

classical mostly here as well. High school and university band world for most of my life....but I have very eclectic tastes...all good...I am dying to see and hear live music again....

[MuseRider]

13. Oh god, me too!

We are performing in a performance hall to nobody except the guys recording us. It is so very odd not only playing with a funky mask with a hole in it but mostly to stand up and bow to nobody!!! Sitting 6-10 feet from the people in your section is also difficult. 2 more concerts this season, maybe one will have limited seating but who knows. It is just odd and it actually takes all the fun out of performing. I like having the audience there. It is still fun to play though.

Band music is awesome fun. There is a little band that recently formed in the town about 1/2 hour away from me. I could not play last year as I was already too busy. I hope I can get in this year, all the old University profs are playing, just a band of all of us (I used my music ed degree to go to nursing school so I am not prof to be sure) around this part of the state who have really sort of come to the end but not willing to quit in spite of all the wailing from the younger generations. LOL!

[bahboo]

14. oh I hear ya....thanks for sharing that info...

sounds like a good time. I don't play in ensembles anymore, but I bet it is really weird to be separated like that...

[Cheezoholic]

12. The urban Woody. At the time of his death who would've known

the irony to follow when the postman poet passed.

[BobTheSubgenius]

15. "You are what you are, you ain't what you ain't."

He was brilliant, and so charmingly comical.

[illegal smile]

16. word

[demtenjeep]

17. he deserves it

LOved that Lionel gave tribute to Kenny

[LastDemocratInSC]

18. "Daddy won't you take me back to Muelenburg County"

"Down by the Green River where Paradise lay"

[Traildogbob]

20. And

That damn Flag Decal won’t get you into heaven anymore.
When I do go, Please don’t bury me in that cold cold ground.
Sam Stones are all over this country.
And damnit, when ya see us old people, say, Hello in there.
I got so many Souvenirs, I didn’t get at carnivals for free.
What a Goofy world we live in.
I love you John.

[murielm99]

22. And here I thought I was the only one

who blamed his death on trump.

I miss John Prine.

[bahboo]

23. you definitely are not....

I've been seething ever since he died....not the healthiest thing, but fuck....
