I've been downloading tunes from iTunes lately ...converting them to MP3 and burning them to my Sony minidisk player (more on that process in a later post). Well years back I used to listen a lot to John Prine's music. I think he's one of the best songwriters there's ever been, and I've got a number of his records (yes ...records ...you know, those vinyl things that they have in some museums). I've been very slowy converting some old vinyl to CDs and MP3 (I'll link to that post later), but I was wanting to listen to John Prine again. So last night I bought and downloaded a few of my favorite JP albums and I've been listening to them this morning while I work. One moment I'm chuckling to myself, the next I'm literally fighting back tears ...and back and forth. Man, that guy can write! So, anyway, I'm kind of wondering how long before they bring the gents in the white coats and send me off for an extended rest with extra meds and direct current :-)
