John Prine

I got to see John Prine last night at the historic Brady Theater here in Tulsa. I have listened to his stuff for years but this was my first time to see him in concert. It was definately worth going to.

My brother filled me in on my Christmas present........John Prine tickets at the Gilloiz, here in Springtown on Feb 28th! I've never had the privelage of seeing him live, although I've covered some of his songs over the years. What a great songwriter! Can't wait till the end of Feb!

Too bad you have to go with your brother. Will this be like a date for you guys?

Yep, he might even hold my hand this time!

I saw John Prine last time he came through Springpatch five years or so ago....it was a great show...I'd like to check out the Gillioz, as well, especially with Prine playing there but I just can't afford the $46.50 ticket this year...dang...I hope you enjoy it Wheatenheimer...

Hey Steve, have you been fishing Zink Dam any lately? or heard any striper reports? Jim

Jim,

I have fish the Zink dam area the past 4 weekends. Last Sunday I only caught 1 nice hybrid.

The weekend before was better. I caught a few stripers, 1 hybrid, 3 LMB, and a nice drum.

I got skunked the previous 2 weekends. I think it was partially because the water temperature was much lower.

Thanks for the report, Steve. Nice fish. Hopefully, we'll be able to get out that way next year barring 9 months of high water. We stuck around Missouri this year and fished Truman tailwater, Norfork Lake, North Fork River, Bryant Creek and Bull Shoals for stripers and hybrids. Did fairly well but it was a struggle some of the time with all of the water coupled with throwing flies a majority of the time.

I listened to "The Missing Years" last night...looks like I'll have to bite the bullet, buy tickets and go see John Prine.

"Lot's of Pretty Italian Chick's" ........What a great tune! His serious songs break your heart and the fun ones make ya laugh your "Happy Enchilada" off!

I hope to see ya there!

Just got word that John's bus is stuck behind a wreck on I-44 between here and St. Louis and he is cancelling the show. I called the Gilloiz to confirm, they said it was true.

Major bummer!

So if any of ya'll were planning to come up for your Johnny fix............sorry for the bad news.

The dude that answered the phone at the Gilloiz said to contact the MSU box office on Monday for a refund.

Some other time, I suppose!
