Is anyone aware of a recording / footage of Roseanne and EC's performance of “Hello in There” ?

The whole show will probably eventually appear on the JFK Library's youTube channel

It may , however, take a while . The February 2012 show , featuring Elvis and Chuck Berry and others , didn't appear on that channel until July 2012.

Yeah,

but none of the subsequent events have appeared on the site.

I've dug this one out due to the terrible news that John Prine is very ill with COVID -19 .
I am ashamed to say I was late to the John Prine party, but he is a genius. Joan Baez has recorded this tribute which is really moving : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJPvc5vvKY4

If anyone has access to the PEN audio of Elvis and Roseanne Cash performing the song in JP's honour at the presentation, could they upload?

Don't believe in God, but praying he pulls through.

Stay at home and stay safe.

So the 1st PEN Song Lyric Awards went to Chuck Berry and Leonard Cohen in 2012. Both have since passed on - Cohen in 2016 and Berry in 2017.
The 2nd PEN Song Lyric Awards went to Randy Newman and Kris Kristofferson in 2014. Both are still with us.
The 3rd PEN Song Lyric Awards went to John Prine, Kathleen Brennan and Tom Waits in 2016. John Prine left us in 2020.

The 4th PEN Song Lyric Awards seem to have gone AWOL. The event website says "Please check back for details on the next Award this fall." but which year that was posted, is not clear.

Can anyone throw any light on this six year hiatus?
