Hadn't thought about John Prine in a very long time. Growing up in the Chicago area presented a lot of opportunities, even for a dimwit like me. Happened to fall in with some good people. Very late 60s and early 70s was able to go to some clubs in Chicago's Old Town for music and comedy. I had the great fortune to hear John Prine. A talent who could touch me, if you know what I mean. Don't know about the acoustics of the clubs, likely wouldn't pass muster here, but I doubt I could ever duplicate the experience with any system today. That goes for many experiences from back then. One of the worst parts of getting old, saying goodbye to those who helped shape us old farts and built our memories.
