Cool Online Video of John Prine from the Library of Congress
I know I haven't really been keeping up this blog like I should, but hopefully this post of the beginning of many more to come.
As a lot of you know... I'm a huge John Prine fan and I love to see the guy any chance I get. Well, I just got through watching an hour and half video of Prine from the Library of Congress. It's Prine and the Poet Laureate of the United States, Ted Kooser, just sitting around talking about Prine's songs. The conversation's only interrupted long enough for Prine to play, Kooser to read a poem, or Prine's guitar to fly off the stand (you kinda gotta see it to believe it).
Prine plays... Flag Decal, Hello In There, Mexican House, Sam Stone, and, if I recall correctly, Paradise. Plus, he tells some great stories behind the songs.
Here's the link...

My guitarist, John, sent it to me this afternoon. I think he got it from the best of the best Prine sites, the John Prine Shrine, located at http://www.jpshrine.org.
Check it out, then come back and post your comments here.
