Thanks to RUclips for keeping John Prine alive for me. An hour of Johns performances floods my emotions with sadness and thankfulness for losing him and knowing him. I listen for a while then I pull out one of my stringed friends to perform my favourite s of the day tunes. Here goes another tears and smiles session .
There will never be another John Prine. I followed him since 1973 . His death has really broken my heart 💔 He was an incredible song writer and had most awesome talented voice. R.I.P. John it won’t belong before Jesus comes to take us all home 🙏🏽 forever you’ll have a special place in my heart ♥️
Great singer/song writer, I only discovered him in 2017 in Ireland and found out that he did a concert in Dublin every August and was hoping to go to see him this year but it wasn't be.
i told some co workers, granted they are younger than me John Prine died today . they said who? i said one of the best folk artists this country has even seen. i played them some i had. they said i like them all
This man had gold inside of him and he found a way to share it all with us all. How rare is that? Thank you John for all that you gave. I will remember you with love.
It took me damn near 50 years to find the music that effects me to my core. The first time I really listened to John Prine, I was completely blown away. He drew from a deeper well of emotion than anyone I'm aware of, and he made it seem effortless. The man was incredibly gifted, and his final album was as good as his debut. We've lost some amazing songwriters in the last few years. Guy Clark was a tough one, Merle, but none hit harder than John Prine. He was gaining steam at 72, and cut down so quick.
I look around this room and see so many of my favorite musicians,from Jerry Douglas Randy Scruggs And Mark O'Connor and John Prine all still Young, and I feel The loss even More.
One of the best singer/songwriters and a nice guy. I ran into him at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville in the 90’s. He was there just to listen. Got a photo with him. A huge loss to the world. His music will live on.
“Grandpa Was a Carpenter” Boy THAT was fun! What a great talent and what a great guy John Prine was! Thank you so much for posting this. Aren’t we fortunate to live at a time when so many performances were recorded and to have a forum like this to share them with each other? 🧨🧨
One of my all time favorite John Prine songs. A great insight into how people decide who to vote for-- "Voted for Eisenhower because Lincoln won the war."
Thanks for the post... John Prine had a way with words and the delivery of the tune.. thank you so much for your help in this matter of poetry and showing me the ropes in writing music... I'm 69 yrs.old and still writing music and performing and wow wow wow being backed up by the great Nitty gritty dirt band... what a bonus..my all time favorite people all in one enchilada , R.I.P. John Prine.. thank you.. you have no idea how much influence you gave me and the music world.. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band a great influence on me also.. GOD BLESS YOU ALL for my childhood souvenirs.. please stay safe 😷 and I owe yall big time. Thank you for the post 😎🎼🎶🎸✝️🙏😷
RIP... SO SORRY. Three Generation + singing His songs.... Always brought me back to a good place in my thoughts. Will be Missed ! Condolences to Family n Friends
Oh, grandpa wore his suit to dinner Nearly every day No particular reason He just dressed that way Brown necktie and a matching vest Both his wingtip shoes He built a closet on our back porch And put a penny in a burned-out fuse Grandpa was a carpenter He built houses, stores and banks Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes And hammered nails in planks He was level on the level And shaved even every door And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war Well, he used to sing me "Blood On The Saddle" And rock me on his knee And let me listen to the radio Before we got T.V. Well, he'd drive to church on Sunday And he'd take me with him too! Stained glass in every window Hearing aids in every pew Grandpa was a carpenter He built houses, stores and banks Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes And hammered nails in planks He was level on the level And shaved even every door He voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war Now my grandma was a teacher Went to school in Bowling Green Traded in a milking cow For a Singer sewing machine Well, she called her husband "Mister" And walked real tall and proud And used to buy me comic books After grandpa died Grandpa was a carpenter He built houses, stores and banks Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes And hammered nails in planks He was level on the level And shaved even every door And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
I love this song, it puts me to mind of my dad. His grandpa was a carpenter who took him, his sister, and brothers on along with his granny to raise. My dad loved them more , I think than he could say. His grandpa died of a heart attack with his head laying in my dads lap on the way to the hospital. My dad was a heck of a guitar picker, and a preacher. Him and his older brother both played the guitar as did their dad. Wow! Sorry about rambling on, but I sure miss him.
Another heartbreaking loss...John's music sure influenced my growing up and never got to say thanks except buying all he ever put out for sale and bootleg's too. i can recall his words to songs without looking them up and same for Dylan..it must be that i have same frequency? desolation row, sam stone, lily rosemary and jack of hearts still remember lyrics but can't tell you what day it is..hummm John will continue to sing in my house till its my turn to "step over" that rainbow...
Thank you for uploading! If you have a minute, I recorded some original music. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you would check it out. It's on my channel. I appreciate it!

It's easy to cut a vein, but hard to make it count.
I checked at the liquor store - they sent all the 9 mile cigarettes to heaven . Recent request. 😊
i told some co workers, granted they are younger than me John Prine died today . they said who? i said one of the best folk artists this country has even seen. i played them some i had. they said i like them all
That’s a shame. He died on my 23rd birthday it was a full pink moon that night.
Can't deny quality. I like John Prine's every tune, he was amazing.
This man had gold inside of him and he found a way to share it all with us all. How rare is that? Thank you John for all that you gave. I will remember you with love.

Everybody is coming to all the posts that feature John. A common man, yet so unique and talented. I miss him already.
He had a great sense of humor and a brilliant singer/song writer.
Gone too soon...RIP John

Beautiful
Thank you
One of the nicest singer ever
Very cool ! cheers
Oh, grandpa wore his suit to dinner
Nearly every day
No particular reason
He just dressed that way
Brown necktie and a matching vest
Both his wingtip shoes
He built a closet on our back porch
And put a penny in a burned-out fuse
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
Well, he used to sing me "Blood On The Saddle"
And rock me on his knee
And let me listen to the radio
Before we got T.V.
Well, he'd drive to church on Sunday
And he'd take me with him too!
Stained glass in every window
Hearing aids in every pew
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
He voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
Now my grandma was a teacher
Went to school in Bowling Green
Traded in a milking cow
For a Singer sewing machine
Well, she called her husband "Mister"
And walked real tall and proud
And used to buy me comic books
After grandpa died
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and banks
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
thank you for the lyrics. wasnt john a wonder?
not many can write anymore. trash lyrics, sampled music, we heard real words & music, born of intelligence and heart
This has been my favorite version of one of my favorite songs for a long time now
An amazing song
I love this song, it puts me to mind of my dad. His grandpa was a carpenter who took him, his sister, and brothers on along with his granny to raise. My dad loved them more , I think than he could say. His grandpa died of a heart attack with his head laying in my dads lap on the way to the hospital.

Level on the Level!
God bless John Prine
This is the one I remember the most. But I wore 2 of the circle CD’s out

He's dead but he still sings!Great legacy he left us!
It's an absolute shame to a great legendary singer/song writer that they used the covid farce as the cause of his death.
San Judas Tadeo John Prine
...steps never really thought about to follow, but worth mentionin.
Long Live John Prine! What a great upload!! Thank you!
That was so good.
Scapegoat.....R.I.P.
