            I know how you feel, @Andreatoo.❤️   Since the word went out that John had fallen ill, the morning local radio talk show I always tune into has been reporting on his condition and playing his music, talking about his magical way with lyrics.   He managed to come through all sorts of adversities, and I think he was glad for all the days he had in his life...  still, it's so sad to know we don't have him here anymore.   But now I'll bet he's following through with his plans for "When I Get to Heaven."

            Here's an interesting article I just saw today:

"Behind the Song: John Prine, "When I Get To Heaven" (please copy and paste link):

Thanks for the memories and a few tears.

I think you know this one.

Bonnie Rait had a big hit with this Prine tune.

@Andreatoo 

thanks for sharing this song.

i have not heard it before.

i wonder if they featured  him on the kevin burns country music series? i have watched quite a bit of it, but not all.

DH and I were lucky enough to see him several times in recent years.  I wasn't at all familiar with him the first time, but booked the tickets because DH really wanted to see him live.

It's not an exaggeration that, from the first note John played on his guitar, I was sitting up in my seat saying "WHAT???"  I was hooked from that moment on.

A very sad day for the musical world, but what a legacy he's left.

@dooBdoo 

You're absolutely right the article is beautifully written and says it all!

That's a good question but I doubt it. John's been producing his own stuff since after the first album. He tends to color outside of the lines of your popular Nashville studios
