John Prine - Austin City Limits, continued. . .

Oh, how Prine delightful to be able to view and thanks so much to the special Priners and Prinettes out there.  You are golden.

The show starts off with the Screen Door Song.  Oh folks, I have my own John Prine titles, but I will note the real Prine titles.

Screen Door Song - Knocking On Your Screen Door.  Wow, what a great opening song and a beautiful picture of those 'boots'.  I love John Prine footwear.  John, once again, is at ease - having a good time.  David Jacques, Jason Wilber along with new additions are going to make this fine, easy listening.

Egg Daughter - I seem to get it confused with the Kazoo song.  Such a happy go lucky song.

8:41 Summer's End - major Prine toe tappin' to a very sad, sad song.  

Caravan of Fools - my word, the chaos that one bastard can cause is beyond.  I rather get this title mixed up with the Carousel of Love.  COF could be on the list for a movie song.  You all know the books are out there, the movies will be shortly following.  The stand up bass of David Jacques is outstanding!  The addition violin of Fats Kaplin - eh good move.  

Pluto Song - why has the drummer (Kenneath Blevins) in need of a cell phone?  lol.  Prine has the best educational out of orbit songs.

Fionas' Song - Boundless Love - I get the title mixed up with Aimless Love.

Tyler Childers joins - sings Please Don't Bury Me and solos with Lady May.

Lake Marie - eh, I got a title correct.  Low toe tappin...you can detect John Prine is near ready to burst.  David Jacques - incredible.

When I Get To Heaven or as I call it - The Kazoo Song.  True to Prine song, beautiful one a kind.  Thank you for The Tree of Forgiveness.

Ending with Paradise with Tyler, my all time favorite John Prine song. 

Hope to see you with The Tree Of Forgiveness Tour in 2019 - Vancouver, B.C. 

Thank you John Prine and for all who read my blog - how special and delightful a day on the mountain side is.

John Prine - Austin City Limits October 2018

John Prine on Austin City Limits aired on the 13th of October, 2018 on a 'few' PBS stations.  My PBS station - KCTS9 - Seattle has opted for ditching Austin City Limits.  Trust me, when I received the news I was emailing and telephoning my great displeasure.  

However, some great folks out there were able to view on WTTW, I believe to out of Chicago.  I did see the post of the show days ago, however, if I wanted to view I would be utilizing my bandwidth for near an entire month.

Well, as Prine luck would have it...here I am today on the mountain and yes, I have viewed Austin City Limits - John Prine.  Yeppers, all the planets even Pluto have aligned on up and I am quite certain nearing the full moon has made my day near beyond . . .

Being as I do the Gramma job, I inquired eh, how is your bandwidth - reply - UNLIMITED!  I am thinking I have two weeks and no schedule for Gramma job in sight - but as Prine luck has it and schedules do get changed.

This morning on the mountain side, yeppers, straight out of a fairy tale I sat and viewed John Prine on Austin City Limits.

Sit a spell, don't fall off your perch.  Part two is coming right on up...

John Prine, et al. . .

Capturing John Prine - Isaac Denton nailed it.  The artwork of Isaac Denton is beautiful.  Catch the rest of his artwork on facebook.

...and further news on John Prine.  My northern friends are anticipating (with me, of course) that John Prine will return to Vancouver sometime in the spring/summer/fall of 2019.  Smucksville, we are banking on it.  Yeppers, taking my gramma job funds right to the bank so as I can save for Prine Vancouver.  Oh how delightful it will be.  

Around and around many scenarios play on in my mind.  Travelling with my brother, the retired letter carrier and his son-in-law - lordy...words near fail me.

We hope to stay really close to the venue in one of fancy, big hotels because we are worth it.  It could well be the last time we will see our Johnny in Vancouver.  You know, we are all rather aging 'gracefully'.

This folks, would be Pure Prinesville!

Malahat

We recently spent a few days in Malahat, B.C.  A beautiful place that we had accommodation, good company, and good food.  The views were like no other in the world.  However, the congestion of the traffic was near overwhelming to me.  I suspect folks become accustom to it, however, I am thankful I reside on the mountain side.  

The traffic is unbelievable.  We left Malahat, boarded the ferry and my pee time was NOT getting paid overtime wages.  Smucksville, we did not stop for 161 km.

To each their own on life style, peace, and the well being of ones' mind.  Yeppers, I am going to stay on the mountain side.  

Lydia

My dearest Lydia suffer an attack from a bear.  I am not certain what the bear had in mind, but Lydias' head was severed.  Oh my, it was much stress, indeed.  
The bear had been hanging around for a couple of days, but I never believed he/she would attack my darling Lydia.

It Has Been Awhile

Greetings - life on the mountain side goes on...not without bumps and a gravel road.  My friend Ali, returned from hospital.  She is home to die, mega drugs abound.

In all her health problems, now her partner suffered a heart attack.  To the city, via ambulance he did go.  He lived and returned home with 3 stents.  Life is good and it moves slowly here on the mountain side.

Prine is prineing - wowsville.  I do await Prine Vancouver 2019.  My brother, the retired postman, yeppers, he is game to take the Greyhound and then to Prine we will go.

Much activities to attend to.  Trying to keep the mind active and the body moving.  However, I ate store bought macaroni salad and poof, burst into hives.  It truly is a smucksville situation.  But a situation - just the same

John Prine ~ The Tree Of Forgiveness

We all know, John Prine is a legend.  A legend in our time - thank you, John.  

A time for our generation where we received Elvis Presley and The Beatles.  We had Lesley Gore and Dusty Springsteen.  Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young!  What a great time, musically to grow up and so special is it to be a part of.  

After 13 years, we have a new John Prine.  The Tree Of Forgiveness.  My friend, Naj was in New York City to attend the John Prine concert - she is the reason why I am listening to Summers' End at this moment.

My early review...well - could John Prine have done have better/worse?  I believe John got the cuckoo clock dazzling at 12.  He aced what he had to do.  Prine reveals in his lyrics, his dark side.  

To the dark side, we all -as humans- have it.  Our dark side.

John Prine welcomes you to his dark side.  He sided to say, yeppers I hug my wife, I give my boys a punch on the shoulder.  

We all want to keep our hearts beating, we want to make life better for the next coming generation.

I am so thankful to have met John Prine twice.  eh, I am going to make it three.  Vancouver 2019. . . with my brother (the retired letter mailman).  Yep, Johnny, David Jacques, and Jason Wilber - we will be there in the back alley...somewhere in Vancouver.  See you in 2019.

John Prine - New York - 2018/04/13

My friend, Naj recently was in New York City to see John Prine - how lucky can one woman get!

A photo of Naj outside Springsteen on Broadway.

In the HOT seat!  lol

Radio City Music Hall - near Prine time.

 Wow!

She enjoyed the concert very much.  Naj was happy to be able to visit New York City and take in a Prine concert.  Her and her husband will return - there were many sights they were not able to take in due to time restrictions.

oh eh, look what she purchased for me (and one for my brother - the retired mail man).  I am so thankful to have great Prine fans from all over the world.  But Naj - holy prinesmucksville, she rings true.  Thank you, Naj.

John Prine ~ Vancouver ~ 2019

John Prine ~ 2018

Okay, folks - all we have to do is hope that, in fact, he will grace the city of Vancouver in 2019.  

However, I am open for options.  For example, if he would like to grace the mountain side, I and my non knowing Prine friends, would be most accommodating.

My retired letter carrier brother called yesterday.  Oh my, he is John Prine looped.  He has just heard Souvenirs cd, can you imagine that.  Come on Wesley, get with the program - that was 2000....Storm Windows...

...and the conversation goes all Prine.  I have a vision, brother, John will come to Vancouver in 2019 - you up for that...my word - pure Prine elation.  eh, yeah, we will attend, we will go.  I'll will come on the bus and then we will bus to Vancouver.  Wes - I have gramma money, I want to stay in that fancy hotel near the venue...how about you?  I'm in...Bev - we will Prine once again, I'll pay.

The last time we Prine, we thought was 1978.

We continued to talk on how we are all getting old now and pure Prine enjoyment should be on ones' agenda. 

To this mountain side girl and her retired letter carrier brother, Mr. Prine ~  Smucksville -  we are patience, we will wait.

Hope to see you all in 2019 ~ Vancouver.  Now off to Ticketmaster or wherever-whatever to educated myself on this on line ticket buying scenario. 

John Prine 2019 - Vancouver, B.C.

Yes, you saw it correct.  Vancouver, B.C. 2019 - John Prine

Do not know the date, as of yet, but be still your Prine heart - NOT!  He will be there.

And, so will I.  My word, I have it all planned out.  I have the Rent-A-Gramma/Nana job and I have enough saved to sport a Prine ticket and stay in one of those over priced, fancy/dancy hotels in downtown Vancouver.  You know, close to the venue so as I do not have to darkness for too long on my own - on the streets of Vancouver - yikersville!

I also have purchased new footwear and am currently breaking them in...yeppers it will take me a year to break these babies in.

Friends

My Friend will be coming home tomorrow.  She has rebounded and has been cursing up a storm at the hospital.  I do not know if she is coming home to die, but if so, it is the best place for her.

We will be doing cheers, beers, and many-many giggles one day this week.

I look forward to Ali being at home and the Barkerville Five, once again, be reunited.
