I know Steve Goodman wrote the song, but who recorded the song first - Steve Goodman or Arlo Guthrie? I heard the Arlo recording long before I even knew who Steve Goodman was. My younger brother was a booking agent and was booking Steve Goodman as an opening act for other performers for years before I ever heard of Steve Goodman. My brother said Steve always stole the show, even though he was usually just the opening act.
