    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.

      That is too cool! You are lucky. But then again, you were willing to go the extra mile for a patron and he recognized the value of and appreciated your good service and rewarded it. So I guess it really wasn’t so much about luck as it was the character of the people involved in the encounter.

I sure enjoy seeing Nanci on youtube but only wish I had found her sooner, I would have driven all the way to TEXAS just to see her perform. SHE STILL MOVES ME.

      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. If you can ever find it, her song "Michael's Song" is a real classic. About how hard and lonely the life of a singer-songwriter is.

    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.

    Ecstacy! I met a nice young lady at a Prine show in Lexington KY at the Opera House many years ago. This was her song, what she came to see. She was an elementary school teacher. Always wondered how she came out.

    This song first drew me to this extraordinarily gifted song writer. By an d by i got listen to him , i kept on discovering this awesome human being whose songs always dripped with sparkling fun words , words that talked about basic goodness and kindness we seem to be doing without while going through our lives . Words that could talk about the loners , the old ones , the broken ones for each and very condemned human being. RIP John. Ther'll never be another like you.

    I feel lucky that i discovered his music in 1976 and have loved it ever simce. I had 2 tickets to see him once in Fort Collins CO. Asked a girl out who had never heard of him. She said yes but bailed on me at the last minute, so i called up a buddy who also had never heard of him and told him i had an extra ticket. When we got there my friend went to find a bathroom, i went and found our seats. After an opening act they introducef John and when he walked out my friend said "that's the guy i was talking to in the bathroom!
