4. Suzanne, what a classic with such good associations.

she has a good version of another good writer's song:

5. Such a remarkable poet

John Prine has ALWAYS been my favorite songwriter. His partnership with Steve Goodman (who died in 1984) led to some wonderful American anthems. His talent has endured. He still fills concert halls.

Angel From Montgomery
Souvenirs
Hello in There
Paradise
Sam Stone
Gold Inside of You

These are some of my favorites.

7. Prine is terrific, I got into him more in the last 10 yrs or so.

Glad his health is alright as well.

9. John's really been thru it but is holding up well. We have a

relative who went through similar issues though not quite as extreme and is just getting back to regular life. She was often told in her youth how much she resembled the rising star, Bonnie Raitt. Coincidence sort of.
