You made an indelible mark in this life, and you will be missed my brother.”--Ricky Skaggs Photo credit: NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - OCTOBER 20:...

“I was so sorry to hear of John Prine’s passing. He certainly will be missed in our community. John was a brilliant singer-songwriter that could always make you feel like you were right there in the place he was singing about.
