I can see Lincoln tapping his foot w/ an axe by his side

In April 1984, I was working as a concierge at the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City. I answered a call from a guest's room, and the man on the other end asked where he could get a bottle of whiskey. I told him that was a bit complicated in Salt Lake City, but I offered to get one for him. I walked a few blocks to the state liquor store and delivered the bottle to his room. When the door opened, I realized it was John Prine. I said, "you're John Prine." He said, "that's right." Told him I was a big fan. He said, "do you want to come to the show tonight?" He was playing at Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the U of Utah. I said, "are you kidding." What a show. What a songwriter. What a body of music he created. Thank you, John, for the many memories -- and for a great show in April 1984.

If you listen to Nanci's entire song book, you may fins=d that she is equal to any singer-songwriter out there. Especially her older stuff. Like when she was playing in Boston.

John loved doing duets with female singers and this is a prime example. Every time I hear another John Prine song it becomes my latest current favourite. Nanci is perfect in this setting and has recording a couple of terrific duet albums in her own right. Miss you, John.

I feel blessed to have seen them both perform live though not together. Two of the best singer songwriters and storytellers of all time.

This performance completely changed my life! I must have played this video over 10000 times and I've never cut it off early! His voice is uplifting and haunting at the same time! RIP John Prine 😪
