He was like that big brother I never had, who has headed off into the world and periodically drops in back home, doling out wisdom and life lessons. He was a lighthouse. For more than 40 years of my life I waited for album after album. Listening, grinning, and thinking through song after song. Upon hearing of his death, I thought of all his songs and the great lines in them. The thought occurred to me that a lot of these lines, which had etched themselves into my memory, could stand alone, I sat down and put together this song, primarily using words and images from John's work. When I listen to it, it makes me think of John's songs, but also it tells how I felt upon hearing the news. I'm not much of a musician or singer, but I wanted to pay a tribute to John.

Now that is very cool Driller. You are quite the musician in my book. Nice job my friend.
...and thanks for introducing me to John Prine. Hopefully he is entertaining with the big choir upstairs now.

Thanks for the undeserved compliments.

Surprised you haven't heard of him. He was from the midwest and started performing in Chicago (although he spent a lot of time in Austin and is an officially adopted Texan). He put his first album out in 1971 and followed with another 25 albums over the years. He has been nominated for 12 grammy's and won 3 times. He won last year for his album "The Tree of Forgiveness". A really all around nice guy, if you get time watch a few interviews and live performances, it comes through.

I was really never a huge fan till I saw him play. He changed my mind forever. I truly think he was the best. Incredible talent. No one played like he did. His fingers were magic. If you ever get to watch interviews with him do so. I learned so much. Sad day for Rock and Roll.

Roger that. I’ve seen a few. Jimmy Hendrix Jimmy Page and Eddie all were supernatural on the guitar. (with Page now remaining)

Saw Van Halen twice ... EVH blew my mind, at least what there was of it. Gotta add Stevie Ray Vaughn to the other greats listed above. I have absolutely zero musical abilities, and I’m always in awe seeing masters at work.
