Steve Goodman Appreciation Thread (John Prine's Best Friend)
About once a year, I trot out an appreciation thread for Steve Goodman. If you're under 30, you may have never heard the name.
In addition to writing probably the best train song ever ("The City of New Orleans" -- No, Arlo didn't write it), he was John Prine's best friend and largely responsible for getting John his first record deal, he was the best solo performer I've ever seen. PLEASE look at this clip, Steve playing a duet on JP's "Souvenirs."
Steve Goodman died from leukemia in 1984, at the age of 36. Enjoy!
