John Prine

Did not know this. I went to the All The Best Fest and sat at a thing where Fiona and Jody talked with Dave Cobb about the making of tree of forgiveness. I swear Jody let slip that John had already started working on another album and Fiona looked at him and it got awkward. Maybe I miss heard or miss interpreted what he said, but here’s to hoping for that too.

I got to thinking. Wonder when they are going to announce the vinyl release of his Americanafest show from a few years ago. I got something in an email about it last year or early this year and have yet to hear a thing about it. Maybe a Record Store Day release for next year? Here is hoping.

I was thinking about that too. I seem to recall they mentioned it somewhere and it even was on the little card they insert into mail orders from Oh Boy.

The one and only Lake Marie! Lake Elizabeth is just to the right over the trees.

Mary Rae, a native of England was born June 15, 1816. She came to America is 1833 and resided in what was to become known as “English Prairie”. In 1837 she was married to Jonathan Ineson, also an early settler on the prairie. Their son Robert was the first born son in the County. There were eight children in all, including the first set of twins born on the prairie. The girls were baptized Mary and Elizabeth. Both lakes were named after these girls, Lake Mary & Lake Elizabeth, which extended into Illinois, and almost to the English Prairie.

I will go to my grave knowing I had plenty of chances to see John Prine and never did. I hate myself for that.
 
Not to pile on the regret, but back when Tree of Forgiveness came out I got tickets to a special show at the basement east via preordering the album at Grimeys. I was expecting him to come out and play maybe 4 or 5 songs and call it a night (I attended a similar event for Dawes through Grimeys and this is exactly what they did). Instead he played over 2 hours with almost all of the new album and tons of the classics. Margo price also came out and performed a couple duets with him. To this day it remains my all time favorite show and it felt to me like what it might have been like to attend a Prine show back in the 70’s.

I was living in Nebraska at the time and heard about this. I was moving back to Tennessee before the show, but Grimey's used to make you come into the store to purchase for any big instore or concert. Unfortunately nobody I knew at the time could get it done so I was SOL. Still had plenty of chances to see him in Nashville but didn't. Especially regretful of the Kacey, Isbell, Prine New Years Eve show.

Yeah I missed that one as well. I did get a chance to see him one other time at the Ryman with Iris Dement which was also a great show. However, he played the Ryman again a couple years later with Hiss Golden Messenger (prob my favorite band over the past 10 years or so) opening up and I’ve always kicked myself for missing that one.

Ever since the pandemic happened I go see who I want to see because John's death made me realize I may not get another chance. I did go to the first You Got Gold concert at the Ryman, while not John, It was the next best thing.
 
My batteries died on the jukebox already, must have been on during shipping or something cause I barely had it on. Anyone deal with this before I run off to the google machine?

@Twentytwo ?
