Sam Stone - John Prine Cover

Sam Stone and Hello In There are probably my two favorite John Prine songs. Simple words, deep lyrics. I can only hope that he wouldn't be too disapproving of my rendition of his classic song.

@1958wvpicker Thanks, Rich. I've since learned to play this song with the correct chords though, and should probably upload a new and improved version. And seeing as you're a guitar player, you should probably upload some songs yourself- it's fun, and gives one a reason to practice.

@1958wvpicker All you need is a video camera- they are becoming quite inexpensive these days, and perhaps a cheap tripod. Even a webcam with a built-in mic will work, and that's what I used for some of my early videos, but you'll get better results from a proper video camera. Then you can use Windows MovieMaker (free software from MicroSoft) to trim your video to your liking. You might even get some video editing software in the box when you buy your camera.

@1958wvpicker Howdy Rich: The Hitachi unit I bought a couple of years ago is probably obsolete already so I can't really advise you except to say that video cameras keep getting more powerful and less expensive all the time. You almost can't go wrong. I recommend staying away from cameras which record to MiniDV tape though- transferring files to computer means playing through the entire video, whereas hard drive or flash memory card cameras allow drag & drop transfer.

Very nice, your guitar sounds great and you do a very nice job on the vocals.

I had to chuckle. Sam Stone and Hello.. are my favorites too. I wonder how many others feel the same way. John Prine wrote some amazing tunes for sure. Nice job. Thanks.

Great job

Great cover written by a national treasure. His duet with Steve Goodman on Souveniers is one of the best two-guitar songs I've ever heard. What do you think?

[s6824s]

You do the best Prine covers! Better then the original, in my opinion!

[thred610]

Nice version, I've enjoyed all your uploads. If I had to choose, it'd be Sam Stone and Hello for me too but there are so many. Take care...

very nice , can go wrong with prine.

Although this song was written just after the Viet Nam War, it's sad to know Sam Stone lives on through more government clusterf*cks.
