Amanda then told a story of eating cannabis edibles with Prine on 4/20 in London. Jason went on to discuss John Prine’s love of particular condiments and the first time he met the singer-songwriter. Kelly Garcia Plemmons, who assists the trio and relays comments from the livestream, also weighed in on her experience with Prine. More stories of performing with John Prine came from Jason and Amanda before a performance of “Clocks And Spoons.”
