Never heard of it.Ever have Scupernong wine? Taste pretty bad but it’ll mess you up. CL
The Hippie School in the Yukon Territory of Canada, in 1978 (?) scored a deal in town on nearly 500 lbs. of tomatoes, and people were making blanched frozen 'maters, ketchup (tomato sauce, for you Ozzies), and other methods of preserving them, and I ended up making some tomato wine. Had no idea until then that there was such a thing. I hold it in esteem only marginally higher than banana wine, which thoughts of the concept of can cause me to not feel very hungry or thirsty anymore.

Saw him live numerous times in at least 2 states, including several times in Alaska.JP was the man! R.I.P. CL
Milked goats and slopped hogs, etc. on an off-grid homestead farm in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in '76/'77 while listening to him on a Pioneer Super Tuner on a 1950 Ford 8N tractor, or another Super Tuner wired to 12-volt batteries in the barn, and another in the cabin. He was a real kind and endearing person to strangers in all sorts of settings.
His COVID death was one of chivalry; his wife became ill first, and despite risks, he went home with her to take care of her, with little or no protection between them. Then he became ill, and shortly thereafter died. Up until then, COVID seriously concerned my wife and I, and still does, despite changes in many folks' attitudes. But after JP died, I hated COVID for taking someone so precious from us.

Sometime give a listen, if you can locate it, to his story about how he came to be a mechanic in the motor pool when he was drafted into the Army. Hilarious, and pure Johnny Prine. A most sincere gentleman.

Johnny rarely did any true hard-rockin' that I ever heard, but this was one he did.

The US military made John Prine 'Veteran of the Day' in 2020, which I didn't know until just now. But considering his attitude toward that and other wars, government, etc., it's a bit more than humorous.

On a path of self-destruction in '87/'88, he indirectly, and unknown to him entirely, helped to rescue me, during a show at the Panida Theater in Sand Point, Idaho, with the personal turning point being his launching into a rendition of 'Angel from Montgomery.' Long story, I'll not bore you with. Catharsis occurred... a bonus to the cost of admission.
