After having driven through Memphis and headed south from there, I feel I may have paralleled just a small portion of your father's journey nearly 60 years ago.<br /><br />Plus, I've always enjoyed this song. Good to see Mr. Eals has made contact with you about Mr. Goodman.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210441627504923976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-83953705986695431102010-07-22T11:41:03.790-07:002010-07-22T11:41:03.790-07:00Sounds interesting Mr. Eals.

Goodman often doesn't get his due. You might be interested in my 800-page biography, "Steve Goodman: Facing the Music." The book delves deeply into the genesis and effects of "City of New Orleans," and Arlo Guthrie is a key source among my 1,050 interviewees and even contributed the foreword.<br /><br />You can find out more at my Internet site (below). Amazingly, the book's first printing sold out in just eight months, all 5,000 copies, and a second printing of 5,000 is available now. The second printing includes hundreds of little updates and additions, including 30 more photos for a total of 575. It won a 2008 IPPY (Independent Publishers Association) silver medal for biography.<br /><br />If you're not already familiar with the book, I hope you find it of interest.
