    Chris is a monster on the guitar! One of my favorite musicians talking about my favorite songwriter. Otis your channel is a singer-songwriter treasure trove. Thank you so much for this

      "I don't know what to say, I never even pray, I just feel the pulse of universal dancers. . ."
      His lyrics are just deep man. He's also very sweet in person.

    I'm a huge fan...when I discovered Chris from Bonnie Raitt's covers of his songs I went out and bought a handful of his CDs...the one I got no love today is one that haunts me...song about a vegetable vendor. He's truly a storyteller

    I saw Smither a half-dozen times when I lived in the Twin Cities. Never disappointed.

    Steve Goodman and John Prine; two giants of the Chicago singer songwriter world. Loved seeing them at the Earl and Somebody Else’s Troubles.

    I'm 70 but I've been a fan of Chris since I was a teenager and he used to play the Main Point outside Philly. I learned to fingerpick guitar by watching and listening to Chris's playing and he was always the most influential on my guitar playing. A brilliant song writer, performer and singer, so good to see him interviewed.

    Thank you both for this conversation. The history of this time needs to be recorded to stand beside the already recorded music. Memories if not written or recorded will vanish with the body that held them in memory. ☘

    I love Chris! I ran into him at an airport and chatted with him. He signed one of his posters when I saw him play in Portland, Oregon.

    I am a big fan. I saw Chris him at the National Folk Festival In Canberra Australia some dozen or so years back, great show. Big fan of John Prime too look forward to extend talk with Chris Smither. Cheers.

    At the end of the interview.. you could see the memories… going through his mind… as he remembers John. I got to see John at the Radio City Music Hall in 2018 … before the world got turned upside down. I got to see his brother Billy playing his songs… last summer… as close as I could get to saying goodbye… 🌎🕊️

    Chris Smither is wonderful. Lots of great songs, but his Leave the Light On might be the best song ever written about getting old.

    Fortunate to have seen Chris twice live. Once at the Kerrville Folk Festival shared the night with Timbuk 3 and the Limeliters and a few others. Impressive. Then a solo show at the Mucky Duck in Houston. That was a gift. The dude is a serious player.

    Loved his remarks about the Ryman ….its so true. When I went beer was spilling down on me from the balcony. My companion said, “You’ve just been baptized at the Ryman”. I took off my wet jacket and never missed a beat.

    I am not a big fan of virtuosity on guitar. Because it displaces the heart. There are single digit exceptions. My #1 example of where virtuosity ACTUALLY exists with heart, is the blessed Chris Smither. "God Damn it's hard to find an honest man."

    I would have to rate Chris Smither as a superior song writer to John Prine. Both great but Chris is on another level.
