It was very sad news about Joe Gracey and I love Kimmie Rhodes albums. Managed to get the track “Rich From The Journey” played twice on BBC Radio 2 and wrote to Joe about it.

That Huffingpost Article mentions this article by the great Roger Ebert, the first published review of John Prine. Well worth a read: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/music/john-prine-an-american-legend.html

Take a look at that Springsteen photo and realise that there are forty years between him and Swift, yet he looks at most, in his late forties.

I hope I get to age in Boss years too.
