John Prine, multiple grammy-award winner as well as a member of the country and rock music hall of fame and one of the greatest singer-songwriters over the last 50 years has contracted COVID-19 and is inside a ventilator. According to his ex-wife Fiona, he is listed as critical but stable condition. John is an American treasure. I bought his debut album way back in 1970, the eponymous "John Prine." My buddies would spend hours at my house listening to it and the media labled him the next Bob Dylan. Many of his songs have become classics in the field and have been covered by professional and amateur singers around the world. I have seen him many times in concert and at folk and country and even bluegrass festivals. Check youtube for Joan Baez's recording of "Hello in There," Prine's ode to elderly citizens and troubles they face. So say a prayer for John my fellow Ram fans!! We don't want to lose him to this horrible scourge.
