Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness (JOHN PRINE COVER) on Octave Mandolin

April 18, 2020

With an Octave Mandolin covering the mighty John Prine. I will be playing another of my favorite Prine Songs this Monday for my Italian record label’s ”LONG MONDAY: A celebration of the late great John Prine” at https://www.facebook.com/appaloosarecordsitalia/
