John Prine Critical With Covid-19

Damn.

Damn.

Yeah. Interesting that Prine was "discovered" by Kris Kristofferson, who "sat in with" LTG member Retro Rocker not too long ago. Apparently Prine has had cancer a couple of times. He's 73. Hoping for the best.

My favorite musician/songwriter.

Only saw him once, but have been a fan since his first album came out., One of the better songwriters around.

Sad news re: John Prine. He's a tough old guy, but this virus might be too much for him.

Tom Rush also notified fans via his email list, that he apparently contracted the virus during (or on his way home from) a southeastern US tour back in mid-March. No word re: his condition.

A bit of good news from his wife. Hopefully he's on the improve.
