He was in the audience sitting at a table next to me. Another guy from Chicago, Steve Goodman, was performing. Before the night was over half of the audience that was made up of other singer/songwriters including Prine were on the stage with Goodman. That was one magical night!!!<br /><br />Over the years I have heard John perform numerous times.<br /><br />After his throat surgery and radiation treatments for cancer in the late 90s and after he was back on the road singing again, I once talked with him at an airport. That too, was a great experience. To this day, he still says "hey" when I see him around town.Dee Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610598460257919321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198275291385110185.post-10050214893666584352010-06-08T10:34:37.975-05:002010-06-08T10:34:37.975-05:00Thanks, that's a great clip I hadn't seen ...Thanks, that's a great clip I hadn't seen before. I first started catching John in the Chicago clubs back in the late 60's. Actually, I was a teacher then, and his brother was one of my students. I think it was his brother that actually turned me on to John!mythopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164758700393086005noreply@blogger.com
