I woke up to a John Prine Birthday special on the radio this morning. He's 55 today. The radio is still on, and they are having a great John Prine marathon going, along with inserts of details on his life between takes.
Alot of foot tapping going on around here this morning already!
I would have put an "OT" next to this post header, but I do believe there are alotta good old fashioned John Prine fans out there amoung us signfolk. And ya just know good music always has a place in a signshop!
Great music, terrific words!

Okay, so how 'bout a little trivia question for a sign of our current times? Can you complete this verse? I'll give you half of it. "Your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore. They're already overcrowded from ... "
Well ... George Perkins? ... Steve Shortreed? ... Mark Fair? ... anybody?

Thought you might want to know Nettie that John Prine will be performing in Jacksonville the 19th of this month. He'll be at the Florida Theatre. It's a really nice old art deco movie theatre. We just went up last week to see Alison Krauss and Union Station. It's not that far away from here.

"Hot love, cold love, no love at all... a portrait of guilt is hung on the wall...
Nothin is wrong and nothin is right Donald and Lydia made love that night
Love
They made love in the mountains, they made love in the streams They made love in the valleys, they made love in their dreams... But when they was finished there was nothin to say, 'Cause mostly they made love from 10 miles away
But dreamin just comes natural, like the first breath from a baby... Like sunshine feeding daisies, like the love hidden deep in your heart."
OK so was this the first musical reference to phone sex or were they just dreamin? :-)
