Sorry, I forgot Charter Members only in this contest. I have just become one - this place is well worth it to me and I am happy to contribute.

Does the answer have to do with John Prine's work as a mail carrier?

Mirosh, thanks for upgrading your membership. That's the main reason I do these contests periodically -- to promote and support this amazing forum.

No, sorry, nothing to do with him being a mailman.

Watched the video, was it: while in Paul Anka's penthouse, Paul offered to buy Steve and John tickets to NYC?

Not that, no.

It is something SAID by someone in the video that I've subsequently found in other sources. Thanks, Steve!

Another wonderful story, but no. Ben, I think that may have already been guessed at earlier in the thread, so please make sure to read all posts before guessing and wasting a turn.

Thanks So Much,
Scott

Sorry, no.

One person was very close earlier today, but we have since drifted away.

It is something VERY SPECIFIC.

It was that John kept his beer cold in a bathtub full of ice.

[emtsteve]

John said in the video that Steve used to call him in the middle of the night, sing a new song, then hang up.

Is it related to food?

[J Patrick]

...is it that both John and Steve appeared with Kris Kristofferson at the Bitter End on Johns first trip to NYC?....

We have a winner!

The Charmed Life Pick goes to macmanmatty.

The correct answer was actually back in post #74, where he wrote, "Is the answer the fact that John Prine thought that Steve Goodman based on his voice would be tall and he wasn't?" I let the contest go one a little longer, as the actual answer was that Goodman reminded Prine of "Edward G. Robinson." Prine used to say this all the time.

But you folks were going further and further afield, so I called it a day.

BTW, we are in production right now on PEEK picks, and hope to do another trivia contest by the end of July to win one of those.

Thanks for Playing!
