Hot damn! This has turned into one hell of a thread ya'll!! These cuts were the 3 that I had the most requests for when I was still performing....still usually the 1st three I do when we crank up the karaoke system....

Happy to see your post Shaun!! As I've said on many occasions here over the years, "One more cluster soul out of the darkness and into the light!" DD

Appreciate all the good wishes ya'll! Got the MRI and follow up visit with the doc....left feeling pretty damned confused!! Said MRI indicated surgery was needed but because my pain level has reduced significantly and that since I'm in fairly good physical shape otherwise, along with the risks involved by surgery his advice was to take it easy and come back in if the pain becomes unbearable again.... Feeling kinda anxious about the whole deal but really can't afford to go see another doc for a 2nd opinion right now so I reckon I'll just keep on keeping on! DD

Welcome to the community @CursedEyeball! Spiny has covered all the bases but I'll double down on her O2 and vitamin D3 anti inflammatory regimen recommendation!! Dallas Denny

This chick nails JP's "Unwed Fathers"....and the pedal steel is awesome!@

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes...

Welcome to the community @Kprice, sorry you needed to join us! I've been around these online cluster support communities for 15+ years and I can't recall ever seeing the symptoms you've described! There has been evidence of triptans causing rebound headaches and many folks subscribe to the school of thought that the can extend cycles. Since you're new here I would urge you to look into the vitamin D3 anti inflammatory regimen in our clusterbusters files section! It works very well for many folks and should lessen the number and severity of individual hits at the very least! Dallas Denny

@Shaun brearley, in 1991 I bought some studio time at a small, qtr mill hobby studio owned and operated by Buford Jones who was on a tour break as the sound engineer for PF......the dude had gold records as sound engineer on records with Bowie and had toured with him as SE as well!

No, it's one of my fav Willie Nelson tunes....that's really weird cuz I just tried it and it's playing for me!! What the hell?!?!

I'd have to be crazy...To stop all.my singin And never play music again....

Well @Shaun brearleyif we're gonna start talkin PF this one's got to be in the queue!! One of my favorite cuts when I'm taking my "alt meds"!

I wonder if she got to burn one down with John? Oh hell yeah, ya know she did..lol!!

Well ya'll, I'd appreciate your prayers, positive thoughts, healing juju...whatever ya got, please send it my way! A little over 2 weeks ago I began experiencing severe pain in my neck and left shoulder....I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in 2013 after an MRI showed 2 herniated cervical disc's and 3 herniated lumbar disc's so I initially thought it was just a flare up of the normal daily pain I've been having all these years....however, within a couple days the pain was unbearable, and after my wife found her tough, old Marine in a scalding hot shower crying like a baby, she made me let her haul me to the ER. After copious amounts of IV pain meds and muscle relaxers the ER doc sent me for a catscan...when I got back he told me the catscan revealed deterioration of C5 and C7 to the point that the resulting stenosis was putting direct pressure on my spinal cord and that he was going to refer me to a spine surgeon. Went to see him last week and after examining me he said that from looking at my 2013 MRI and the ER catscan that he thought that I was teetering on the edge of total paralysis!! Damn, it felt like all the air had been sucked outta the room!! When we got to the car I told my wife I needed to just sit there for a bit cuz my heart was about to beat out of my chest!! So, a new MRI is scheduled for next Tuesday to prepare for neck surgery and not gonna lie, I am freakin terrified!! DD

@spiny, here's another one of my favorite JP tunes...hell, they're all my favs.....I had never seen the lyrics but I memorized what I thought I was hearing and figured out the chord progression....played the song on stage for many years before I bought the anthology set (with printed lyrics inside the cd case), and found out it was "The Great Compromise".......I thought it was a song about a guy gettin it stuck in his arse so all those years I'd been singing "The Greek Compromise"

Love this dudes version of the Judds "Grandpa (tell me bout the good old days)" https://fb.watch/94h5Tqf-W0/

@Freud Safe travels my friend! DD

There will never be another Satchmo...he was one of my Papa's favorite!

And, I saw John live for the 1st time at the Boomer theater in Norman, Okla across the street from the OU campus in 1980. This was at a time when I was cultivating vitamin M for other reasons as the Beast hadn't reared his ugly head yet! I ate a LOT of it, got in my vdub bug and drove from far NW Okla City to Norman....good God Gerty, what a ride!! When the concert started, John and his band and crew just walked down the aisles and he stopped repeatedly to shake hands and bs with folks!! At the end of the show all of the crew came out on stage with the band, got in a line with their arms linked and swayed along with the music as JP and company closed with Illegal Smile!! Ya cudn't have wiped the Illegal smile off my face with industrial strength ajax!! Lmao!

One of my fav JP tunes with Bonnie Raitt

@jon019 John Prine is another favorite of mine!! I have his anthology 2 cd set which is a Sunday morning ritual!! So many funny songs and JP was one of the best finger pickers I've ever heard....when it comes to his songs it's all but impossible for me to pick a fav!

Gotta agree with ya @jon019, I've been a BB fan for many,many years.....love "Why I Sing the Blues" Any idea how.old that Stones cut is? I've never heard it before but it's pretty damned cool!! Hell of a job on the steel!

Yer a smart man! Lmao! She has several different cuts on YouTube....although it isn't a genre that I would normally listen to, this one is really good, she has a cool solo in it, she really shows off how good lookin she is....and shit the bed Loretta, does that girl ever have some legs!! Ray Charles is one of my heroes as well....I'm a die hard classic country music fan so really got to know him when he started recording country songs and then he did the album with Willie Nelson whose another idol if mine and I fell in love with his style!! Like Willie, his timing was uniquely his!
