    R.I.P. John Prine, Byron Berline and Nanci Griffith. And Tom T. Hall.

    I never met Nanci but she looked at me and giggled once. I was directly under her looking up at her in amazement, probably with my mouth open. But I can personal attest that John Prine and Byron Berline were genuinely good guys. I'm officially in mourning until further notice.



    He's not actually playing anything here.




    Unfortunately, his famous shop, Double Stop Music where I once purchased a fiddle bow picked out by Byron himself, burned to the ground a few years ago. He lost everything. Perhaps the work of an angry smoker.

    Thanks for posting this. I knew about Prine and Griffith, but not Berline. I actually emailed Berline once trying to find an album that bordered on out-of-print not expecting an answer, but a day later came his reply. Tremendous fiddle player.

    I heard third-hand through some entertainment industry types that Griffith had some problems with alcohol abuse at one juncture in her career. I have no idea if there is even a scintilla of truth in that. Tremendous voice at any rate.

    She battled through cancer twice. I know she was a smoker but still no word on what she died of.

    I was hooked on Norm ever since I saw his first HBO special in 1991. Had just a unique perspective and off-beat delivery that was all his own. Loved one of his lines about comedy (paraphrasing) that a comic "should go for laughs and not applause." There's video online of Norm on Conan's show when Norm and Conan assisted (or tried to assist) Gordon Ramsay in cooking segment. One of the funniest things I have ever seen.
