LOVE that man John Prine (one line of his that chases away any negative moment: "That topless dancer had something up her sleeve..." : )

Well, I'm trying to have comfort imagining John in his youth, "fishin' and whistlin' in heaven"....

With you. I'm just re-introduced to prayer and I pray for each and every one of you.

Alas, it was his time. It is a sad day.

John Prine, Who Chronicled the Human Condition in Song, Dies at 73
A folk singer and songwriter with a raspy voice and an offbeat humor, he was revered by his peers, including Bob Dylan.

That is very sad news. Prine was a tobacco smoker for much of his adult life, if I recall, so this could be a tough struggle. I played John Prine obsessively in the early 1970s. Many of my high school friends were huge fans. (These friends all played instruments.) I used to think of John Prine as somebody who epitomized what was truly great about the USA.
