Hugs to you. I hope you dwell in peace.

I hear ya, this is probably my last summer,,, ever, so I'm chipping away at my bucket list and giving back as much as I can before the clock runs out.

John is now in a bad way.

@@holboroman I am saddened at his passing. Best to you through this time and after.

@@holboroman I am afraid I used bad information in a response. I apologize and am praying for his and others full recovery.

@@johnwilliams7922 Sometimes it is comforting to find out that something has not happened. That's ok. I have an emotional attachment to that song. A while back I spent about 18 months living in NE China. When my wife and I returned home we had to self isolate. In China I missed playing with friends at home, so I used to regularly take my acoustic guitar and play for a few hours in an open space downstairs where we were staying. I used to enjoy playing "Angel From Montgomery" as well as other favourites. Everything is connected, this song, a lovely time with my wife, the love she gave me, how she looked after me when I had a viral infection (no not this dreaded one) a city I grew to love but had to flee because of that dreaded virus and I'm now listening to "Murder Most Foul" by Dylan................ I'm convinced Dylan released it to soothe us in these trying times.

@@holboroman so you heard Mr. Prine has passed on? If true he's in a much better place. He can walk the streets of glory and when he sees someone he knows he'll recognize them...and they can embrace with NO FEAR. LOVEjoy isn't lovin zombieville😪 USN.😱💀👻

Is she a Philly local?

Blessings to sweet John...

Awww.

John lost his old voice, but his post cancer voice had a quality to it that added a new layer to many of his songs. In my view his “new” voice perfectly suited his last album.

Yes. Truly. This song has seen all parts of the world in the quantity of recordings available. John Prine could break my heart with his voice any day of the week.

Truly a masterpiece. You are correct.

Hear you Sheri. Johns a shining light

Shedding tears tonight. Amen. One soul another onto something better I hope.

Always

Thank you, John, for all that you have done for good music. May your spirit live on through your contributions

from Kochi (Kerala) India - 2nd May 2020 - we are with ya

How can you not?? She is such a generous spirit and a warm heart. Amazing lady, so much talent, so much class.

A priceless treasure!

the old guard and new rear it up

Ruthie is too.

Intention and Love go along way and Bonnie carries it everywhere she goes.

Absolutely love her music, but her politics are like "flies in the kitchen"!

YES TO THE zillionth POWER AMEN

yes yes yes

Ruthie reminds me so much of JJ Cale. Flew under the average fans radar until they ended up right in your face and you're like "DAMN, why have I never heard of this person?" I got to Ruthie through Larkin Poe. I got back to Bonnie through Susan T.

That's the talent and the sincerity of Bonnie Raitt.

Me too.☘️

I've seen Ruthie Foster twice in St Louis. Wonderful woman, great singer, great musician!!

I'm an old broke down cowboy. This makes me leak, too.

@@blondbowler8776 @ 3 minutes in, when Foster starts, you can see one of the string players wipe tears away before she starts to play. I only saw this because I had just wiped tears away myself...

I’m just a Corsican woman of 56 who feels she hardly had the good bites of life, and no angel nor cowboy came, Bonnie sang it all, and I strive not to cry because I already cried enough and it didn’t made it better.

" infuses so many miles of living into it "? WOW! How do you even come up with something so exquisite like that?

@@6Gutterstar9The hell is wrong with us, eh? This song and these two artists have me weepier than usual at the old stuff.

Hi Derry,hi from Tyrone.

We ALWAYS HAVE JOHN PRINE....He ain't never leaving me

Stay safe Kim, we love you too

I feel the same. He beat cancer, now this.

i hear you. i havent stopped cryin-saw him at the Somerville Theater in Somerville MA in the latish 70s-wish i had recorded it. this song always makes this ole boy bawl. like a worn in pair of jeans, John had a combo of tough and soft. couldnt someone else(not that anyone should have died of this insanity) have been taken-i can think of one person who has the worst comb-over and brainless head born(sorry-you couldnt pay my ass to support Trump. or give me an old Knucklehead) and thats a lot. i saw Bonnie also yrs ago at the old Jacks in Cambridge ,,,,,i wore a path in the sidewalk between there and the Plough. how i survived and still and sober 30yrs later is a FREAKIN miracle. the monkeys are an stopping the push-ups with people droppin like flies. but i aint goin out from this if i can help it-thank god for my cd collection! we are here for ya kim, from Ass a 2 shits.

Lisa Stallings Keelor You are not alone in that thought, Darlin.

Lovely tribute to John.

JulieAnn Nichols-Johnson Me too. She never lets us down.

i got me almost 31 yrs clean mean and sometimes serene,. if i can do it(i wasnt supposed to live beyond 16 and here i am 63 and a half)-trust me this virus aint killed the monkeys on my back and theyre sure not resting any, music, bein on disability and i got no hustle any more is keepin' my ass clean right now-and the guilt if i picked it back up would kill me-not the booze or dope. i am no saint or bettern any one else. i just remember that guy with a .45 on a beat to shit kitchen table and i and he fired one over my head...nothing i want EVER repeated. stay STRONG and be safe. out of a group of 5 of us-i am the only one still alive=talk about one HELL of a miracle.

well- we lost us a saint-survived cancer-then this shot his ass down- HUGE LOSS-glad i got to see him back in the day

- and banging away on his guitaar !!!!

NancyR3454 thanks for the info Nancy.

Tempted to agree but I saw Bonnie at the Albert Hall in London a few years ago. She sang this with a Canadian singer (name I can't recall) but it was without any backing. Tingles in my neck.

I've seen Ruthie Foster twice in concert. She's fabulous. One was at the International Guitar Night...the first time I heard of her and fell in love with her music that night. Then I had the pleasure of seeing her at a very small venue on Lopez Island, WA where she was performing for a local school to promote the Arts in Schools. That night she had a concert for the public. She was so personable and friendly and so much fun!
