SeeMack, I though "Grandpa Was a Carpenter" may have been one of your faves

I heard an honest man tell a story about JP on NPR. It was several years ago, when JP had just gotten over the throat cancer scare. He was a reporter for Newsweek and was begrudgingly assigned to interview JP on a long flight from the W Coast to the E Coast. About half way throught the interview, the interviewer asked JP something like, "well, can you sing now that you have had surgery on your vocal cords?" Prine said, "Man, you have never heard my sing, have you?" The Newsweek man sheepishly said no, wen't home and bought all of his stuff before writing the most lauditory piece on Prine I have ever seen. I will try to find it.

I can't listen to "hello in there" recorded live at the Million Dollar Cowboy bar in Jackson Hole and done as a tribute to Goodman without getting chills (or tearing up if in the Whisky bag).

PS: what do you think about JJ Cale?
