"In truth, John Prine is probably the most universally literate ex-mailman you will ever run into."
Over 3 decades ago I took my then new bride to an INTIMATE John Hartford concert. No amps, just him, his banjo and that 4x8 sheet of plywood he'd dance on. We had front row seats in a small warehouse converted into a club. Lawn chairs, no a/c and the drinks were...bad.
Since then I've tried to talk her into going to a JP concert but she keeps bringing up the Hartford debacle.
FWIW JP is going to be in Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati over the next couple of months. That's just a couple hours drive from us in Pittsburgh. Around 2-hundred for a couple of tix.
Just in case Wife is reading this....
