John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19

An enormous loss indeed.  Deep down I felt this coming but was apparently not prepared.  John Prine has affected me more than any other artist.

I was fortunate enough to see him five times, the last being October 2019.  The last song off his last album seems appropriate.

When I Get To Heaven

RIP John

@treebeard1, he is putting that band together as we speak.

Tonight I break out the Blanton's for a toast...or two.

I share in the grief of his passing, one of the greatest songwriters of our generation with a voice perfectly suited for his lyrics.  I loved his music for ~40 years.  RIP, JP.  

Sad,sad day indeed! I can still remember hearing "In spite of ourselves" the first time.I thought who is this guy? He has to be one of the most underrated songwriters of our time.Right up there with Kris Kristofferson, Dave Carter, Merle Haggard, etc.etc. 
My favorite album,I will have to admit, was his later 2005 "Fair and Square". Oh I hate it when that happens to me! 
Fairwell and RIP.
