John Prine birthday tribute

October 10th Friday 8 pm is the 6th annual John PRine Birthday tribute, here in the Mid Ohio Valley (WV) this is a benefit for Children's Home Society of WV-Parkersburg. A $5 donation, but more generous donations are gratefully accepted. We have received $100 donations, $300 donations, etc. So don't hold back. Local musicians play sets of John Prine songs. Occasionally they stick in one of their own, if they can satisfy the audience that there is a connection to John Prine out there. Though it rarely works this way, since the music goes long into the evening, if I can pick the right vantage point, we'll gather some musicians for a group sing of "Paradise" where several people get a verse to sing, and maybe a few instrumental breaks. I've seen some pretty touching accompanying of the song at John Prine concerts, like his brother one time, and sometimes the opening act coming back out. Jason Wilber gets a chance to sing some verses from time to time. A couple of years ago, we had some nice fiddle work on the local version by Will Kirkland. Will and his dad Matt have contributed several years. We could do Angel from Montgomery in this group encore, too, if not too many people have played it by that time of the night. When Fred, Greg and Betty played "Long Monday" two years ago, with that special little instrumental accompaniment, that was a pretty good highlight, now that I think about it.
Well, I hope any readers out there will talk this up, and bring us out a good crowd that night.
