Muy brother was a music promoter in Milwaukee in the 1970's and 1980's, and he booked Steve Goodman many times and spent a good amount of time with him. Here's what he says:I don't remember Steve Goodman changing the lyrics to "City of New Orleans" in concert, and I was aware of John Denver changing the lyrics. I also remember hearing that Steve wasn't happy about it, but I don't remember the source. I don't think it was mentioned at his shows, either on or off-stage. -Joe Offer-
