Paradise/Spanish Pipedream.

Two more of our favourite John Prine songs: Paradise (surely one of the earliest 'green' country-folk songs), and Spanish Pipedream, about quitting the rat race and moving back to the land.

Both wonderful John Prine songs. You guys do a great version of both.

Well thanks again. Maggie and I like to sing Spanish Pipedream as some years ago we moved to the country and planted a garden. As for Paradise, it really is one of the earliest 'green' songs. Pity those parts of the Appalachians devastated by mining are now Trump territory. But the Scotch-Irish are still producing great music! 😃

@@farrellfamily4953 Very cool, you lived Spanish Pipedream. 😊

[@farrellfamily4953]

@@RemingtonRidersMusic do you know why it's called that? I've never got past thinking it must be drug related. And I suppose the soldier was on his way to Montreal to desert the US army! 😃

@@farrellfamily4953 Those are good questions. I sort of assumed that about the soldier on his way to Montreal. But the title is a mystery. I always think of him high in Spain dreaming the song.
