There were more than a few teary eyeballs in our house last night.

Brandi Carlile performing John Prine's "Hello in There" on Cobert's show last night. You could've heard a pin drop it was so quiet but there was no speaking anyway because everyone's throat was so tied up tight.

If you've ever heard the song 'Travelling Alone' by Jason Isbell, it's real obvious John was an influence on him ... it's halfway to being a cover of this song, with different words.

He influenced so many, and seemed like such a great guy. Nice to see the outpouring of affection and respect at this sad time. I'm sure Fiona and his kids really appreciate it.
