Subject: RE: Who Is Steve Goodman? From: GUEST,SirCoughsalot Date: 21 Nov 12 - 10:32 PM I know I'm sort of late to the party here, but I've listening to almost nothing but Steve Goodman lately. I always knew he was a great songwriter, but nobody ever talks about what a fine singer he was - a perfect radio voice, loud and clear on every note. A friend of mine pointed that out to me when we were listening to him playing I'll Fly Away and he whispered a verse. And his guitar playing is just phenomenal, I could just listen to him pick for hours. I've never really heard any other folksingers play like that. And he was a born performer... His live stuff is really the best stuff. I wish I could have seen him, but I hadn't even been thought of when Steve Goodman was living. He had a great sense of repertoire, too. Just everything about him, is what an entertainer should be. Thanks for all the good stories, y'all, I enjoyed this thread. |

Subject: RE: Who Is Steve Goodman? From: GUEST,Kenny C Date: 01 Mar 15 - 01:42 PM I was also at the show Steve did at SUNY Binghamton-was in 74 or 75. The show was in the Social Room and Paula Lockhart opened supported by Peter Eklund on cornet-they were very good and as I recall Peter sat in with Steve on a song or 2. Steve played solo acoustic and put on the best show I ever saw bar none.He would play hilarious tunes with amazing guitar playing and then switch to poignant songs such as the Dutchman and My OLld Man-which brought me to tears. You could have heard a pin drop when he did that one. He also covered John Prine's Christmas in Prison which he also played when I saw him a few years later at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Would love to have a recording of either saw. He was quite simply the best. Kenny |

Subject: ADD: Video Tape (Steve Goodman) From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Jun 24 - 03:56 PM VIDEO TAPE (Steve Goodman) If your life was on video tape Wouldn't everything be all right? When your head hurts the morning after You could roll it back to late last night. You could replay all the good parts And cut out what you don't like. Oh wouldn't you be in good shape If your life was on video tape? If everybody had ESP Everything would be ok. We could see trouble coming And we could step out of the way. When the grim reaper comes to call We could arrange to be out of town. It would be the great escape And you could put it on video tape. I don't have a video recorder. I don't have a crystal ball. And when I'm not with my baby Then i don't have very much at all. I can't predict the future And I sure can't change the past But I know it will all make sense If you love me in the present tense. If your life was on video tape Wouldn't everything be all right? When your head hurts the morning after You could roll it back to late last night. You could replay all the good parts And cut out what you don't like. Oh wouldn't you be in good shape If your life was on video tape? https://www.streetdirectory.com/lyricadvisor/song/uoaaoo/video_tape/ |
