Goodman was a supremely gifted acoustic lead player, one of the best of the last fifty years, on top of being drop-dead funny onstage and a helluva songwriter. If you don't recognize the name, he wrote "The City of New Orleans" (no, Arlo didn't write it), voted the best train song ever written by almost everyone. Steve died thirty years ago of leukemia, at age 36. Here is their version of "Souvenirs." The boy could play.

Good video...love both these guys.
Interesting. Prine, who I would normally associate with a Martin D 28, is playing a Guild-looks like a 25 or 35-and Goodman, typically a Martin OM 21 guy, is playing something I can't identify. What are the odds.
