One of the greatest song writers I know of. John was a believer of three chords and the truth. He was known to have written songs on his way to clubs the night he would perform and leave caution to the wind. Having served in the Army and been a Postman in the Chicago Metro area for years, he had many stories to tell and did that well through his music. We lost John in 2020 to COVID-19 at the age of 73, he’ll be missed and I wish him well in whatever universe he’s in.
“The first time I held down a chord and I didn’t muffle it, well, I just sat there with my ear on the wood even after the sound died, feeling the vibrations.” -John Prine
