Went to the John Prine concert in Tucson last night and was pleasantly surprised to see Fats Kaplan playing psg fiddle and mandolin in the show, what a talent. Well worth seeing if you have a chance.

Just bought tickets to his show in Berlin in September. I hope he brings him, too.

The last time I saw John Prime was back in 1972 when He and Stevie Goodman did a duet tour. I saw them 5 nights in a row.

A living american treasure.

"John Prine is Pretty Good."

(Bumpersticker I purchased on his website. I love that guy.)
I hope to see him too.

You never know where Fats Kaplin is going to turn up next. He even played on an album that a buddy of mine made several years ago after moving from California to Nashville.

Yes he is an American treasure. I had the fortune of meeting him and his brother years back in Cleveland during a Jimmie Rodgers tribute done by my friend at the R&R Hall of Fame.

He was such a nice and humble man, he desearvesall the accolades that he is recieving for his new album!

The John Prine show in Port Chester NY last night was a treat.

Great band (plus a solo acoustic mini-set) including Fats Kaplin with alot of tasty PSG, along with fiddle and mandolin (he just barely got his fingerpicks back on to take a steel break in the middle of one song).

John's touring all over this year and seems to be having a ton of fun -- highly recommended if he comes your way.

My bandmate sent me a photo from the Capital, Port Chester, asking who the steeler was. I took a steel lesson from Fats in NYC in 1984 or so. Super player and multi--multi tool threat. And Prine is a treasure.
