edger Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Just thought it might be worth channeling some energy towards the musicians who inspire us who are fighting for their recovery or who have lost that battle. Recognition, acknowledgement, whatever seems fit I suppose. I hope the extent of the impact somehow remains minimal....

edger Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Love and light to John Prine....I hope that they are able to keep him in stable condition on a respirator long enough for his body to rest as much as possible with the hopes that his immune system will pull through. I'm no medical doctor....but I do know from personal experience that "stable" is still very touch and go territory. Wishing John and his family strength and grit.... https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/john-prine-stable-hospitalization-975436/ Edited April 2, 2020 by edger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
