Brian‘s father had one bit of feedback – violinist first chair of Memphis. Symphony Orchestra didn’t sound authentic brother Dave recorded in Chicago. But his father wouldn’t see the albums release. Bill Prine suffered a fatal heart attack. Amy made a favorite recreation: lounging on the front porch with a cigar watching the traffic go by

As paradise started, Bill Prine stepped into the next room, the dining room room, which was dark. He told Bryan he wanted to imagine he was listening to a jukebox, picturing his son, the recording artist a star and some dive bars machine, but I think he just didn’t wanna see me see him with tears in his eyes.

A colleague at the post office mentioned could save some money by copywriting his songs as a musical, rather than individual compositions, five bucks for the whole thing instead of five bucks a pop. So he paid a professor at Northwestern a modest fee to write out his songs as legal sheet music, and then prime mail the sheets to himself, which serve as a legal copyright as long as he didn’t open the envelope.
