| henrygreiner ::: Favorites 2007-12-09 09:15:31 I saw Steve Goodman 3 times, from folk festivals to large halls. He was an opening act that made the headliner work harder. He had great energy and a great rapport with his audience. He certainly influenced me. Your tribute was touching. Thanks __________________________________________________ | |

| pweisz ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 11:37:39 Your warm words are deeply appreciated. Check out the bio- book "Facing The Music" by Clay Eals. I know you'll enjoy it. --Peter __________________________________________________ | |
| FloatingGrin ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 10:38:09 Thank you so much for this. A very fitting tribute to a man who had so much amazing music in him __________________________________________________ | |
| raysgirlsofar ::: Favorites 2007-11-06 16:49:20 Thank you, thank you for this tribute. The music that touched my heart and tickled my funny bone in my youth still resonates for me today. Sometimes I feel like I belong to a big secret club -- then I tell some folksinger I admire that his playing reminds me of Steve's, and the performer always knows exactly what I mean. __________________________________________________ | |
| pweisz ::: Favorites 2007-08-06 22:31:43 Yeah, Clay did an outstanding job locating tribute tunes like this one. What a masterpiece! I was inspired by the book to write a song for Clay. It's called "Facing the Music" and you can find it on YouTube. Hope you like it. __________________________________________________ | |
| peregrine11 ::: Favorites 2007-08-06 17:41:09 I finally played the CD included with Facing the Music, and there was this song. Very fitting. __________________________________________________ | |

| peregrine11 ::: Favorites 2007-08-01 16:24:40 I can't even remember when I first saw SG, but it was in the early 70's, and he was my favorite performer in the great Chicago folk scene of the 70's. I usually steer away from videos, but I'm glad I decided to take a look at this. Really well done, and made me cry. __________________________________________________ | |

As per Jewish custom,I refrained from shaving during the the trdnl. 30day mourning period.I extended the time a bit and did not shave the beard off till 1/1/07. Actually, my hair would be as white as my beard were it not for my vanity and Just For Men.Thanks -Peter __________________________________________________ | |

The caller informed me that my mother had just died unexpectedly. (continued) __________________________________________________ | |

Re: my beard. (continued) __________________________________________________ | |
| pweisz ::: Favorites 2007-05-29 10:06:56 Thanks for the recollection. The last verse of my song is set in an Indianapolis coffee house called "The Hummingbird" which originally was located in Talbot Village, but by this time had moved uptown to 71st & Keystone. Steve, at the time, was staying at the Budget-8 no-tell motel at 38th & Fall Creek Blvd. where he'd written "This Hotel Room." The Magic Fingers, alas, had been eliminated by then. Check out the Eals book if you haven't yet done so. It's a masterpiece. All the best, --Peter __________________________________________________ | |
| goinhomeagin ::: Favorites 2007-05-29 01:20:42 He always put his heart & soul into each performance - he radiated joy for his muse. If you see the cover of "Steve Goodman - Facing the Music" by Clay Eals you can see what I mean. I took that picture and am so pleased to be a part of the book paying homage to Steve Goodman. I am so happy that Steve left us so much of his talent - but will always wonder what more could have been in store. __________________________________________________ | |
| goinhomeagin ::: Favorites 2007-05-29 01:09:51 What a fitting tribute. My sister introduced me to Steve's music & she & I had the good fortune to spend some time with Steve after a show in Indianapolis. We actually drove him back to his "Hotel Room" there & the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was parked in the lot. Also got to see Steve in Colorado at the Rainbow Music Hall & at Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder. I got to visit with him a bit more. __________________________________________________ | |
