I am convinced that songs written and performed by John Prine have sold more acoustic guitars and enabled more voices than any other voice, ever. But now John Prine is down with the virus ("down" as in ailing, as opposed to agreeable). He is in our thoughts and prayers.
Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" (1971) is a song of I love to sing and play, and there are many versions of it. My favourite version, the one I go to as an occasional pick-me-up, is by Toronto's Leslie Spit Treeo -- the big, insistent voice of the talented Laura Hubert.
