Another icon falls prey to coronavirus - John Prine has died

That's good. What sort of cake?

Did you use baling wire when you baled that cake last night Angie?

@moffittjc Good one, Jeff.

That's true.

It as indeed and I guess it will take many more before it's finished.

@JudyEv No, I am not pulling a face and today I am too happy to pull a face, from next Tuesday we can go grocery shopping again, we have a preferred senior time to shop, from the opening until 10am.

I bought my crumpets and I had Vegemite on them. I hope you're not pulling a face, Anna!

@LadyDuck That is wonderful news. I know there have been quite a few things that you wanted to buy that you didn't like entrusting to other people.

I've never made crumpets but I like the bought ones.

@JudyEv I like those too.

I've just looked at Wikipedia and it seems it is true. He also had half a lung removed.

@stapllotik I've just played this on YouTube. It's not one I know well.

@JudyEv RIP John. One of his work is my favourite, We said our goodbyes long ago Never thinking we'd miss each other so All the memories we can't leave behind Oh, we must have been out of our minds I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds Let's forgive and forget the past we've known And reap together the wild seeds we've sown Surely they can forgive us and find That we must have been out of our minds I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds Yes, we must have been out of our minds

I may just sit here and work on some of his tunes.

@CarolDM I'm going to work on more of his songs. You've probably heard this one, from YouTube.

@TheHorse You should make a video for us.

When he stabilised, I thought he might have had a chance.

@JudyEv I know one of the band members of Fountain of Wayne had passed away from the illness as well

@id_peace There have been several jazz musicians too.

We are all going to lose people we admire before this is finished.

@JudyEv @TheHorse I really feel sorry for all the families who have lost love ones.

@simone10 I do too.

Some deaths affect us just that bit more than others.

It's awful losing entertainers that you enjoy so much.

@JudyEv Yes, it is.

I'm a mess, as you might expect. But I think I'm ready to grab my guitar and play some of his tunes.

I thought the same when I heard he'd stabilised.

@TheHorse All we can do is let him live on through his music. A very sad day.

They have Vegemite on them. lol

Yes, there has been a lot lately.

@JudyEv it has been bad. makes me sad for the music lost

Yes, that's very true.

@JudyEv Sadly, I believe that's very highly likely :( Today our Health Minister announced we had 7 new positive cases :( It doesn't sound like a lot but Botswana is very sparsely populated with a population of 2.4 million. I hope your authorities are able to contain it and flatten your curve.

@Lushlala They are doing well at the moment but they can't keep the restrictions in place forever.

I guess we'll lose a lot more before the virus has run its course. Is it very bad in Botswana?

@JudyEv yeah, we call them english muffins! I love em

So, now you know what they are, do you get them there?

@JudyEv You know I've recorded a few of his songs. I'm thinking of doing a bunch more. But nobody can sing Prine like Prine.

@JudyEv I wan to do more of his early songs. They're the ones I know best. But won't touch "Summer's End." The video is perfect.

@TheHorse They said his voice changed after his cancer and you can tell that in his recordings. I'd do a bunch more if I were you.

@JudyEv No, he won't.

I guess John won't be the last.

@Janet357 No shame at all. There are hundreds of artists I don't know.

They will as he was very popular.

@JudyEv Shame on me, i don't know him.

They mix with so many people it's not surprising really.

@JudyEv Yes, the virus knows no boundaries.
