____________________________________________________

What are the Prine's Listening to?
In a recent correspondence with Fiona Prine she revealed that she and John were fond of the song "Fiona" listed on Sean Patrick McGraw's CD "Songs For A Saturday Night". The song isn't about our Fiona Prine, but as she and John note - "the song is catchy and we would like to share this info with John's fans" I have heard the whole album now (3 times!) and agree with the Prine's, not only is "Fiona" lovely (the song and the lady ) but McGraw's whole album is wonderful with several "catchy" fun and beautiful songs/melodies! His voice reminds me a little of Lyle Lovett with Bruce Springsteen looks. If you are curious at what the Prine's are listening to, then check out Sean Patrick McGraw's website for more information, downloads and clips. We look forward to hearing what you think.
~ Thank you and if you have any questions or thoughts, reviews, or want to meet up with friends you haven't met just yet at a concert - stop by the Oh Boy! Prine Shrine Message Board or post John a note through the "My Prine Story" letters section - or privately through his guestbook - He has said that these are his favorite ways to read mail from his fans.
