    There is a sweet, short documentary here somewhere about Steve Goodman, featuring interviews with John Prine, Arlo Guthrie, Kris Kristofferson, Steve's widow, and his manager. Kristofferson has to stop talking at one point, because he starts crying. I was blessed to see Steve perform at the Moore Theater in Seattle in the mid-70s. He played solo for three hours, with one little break. What a treat that was!

      A musical void that may never be filled, sad, yet powerful, sweet, and somehow strong. I used to play Johns songs in bars back in the 70's as a much younger man when not many knew of him. Now, as I approach 70, I feel once again drawn to the truthful lyrics and earthy performances that he blessed us with. Thankful that I got to see him perform live a couple of times. RIP.

    Damn! Steve Goodman was a one-man-band! What a beautiful voice, incredible guitar. This love song was such an incredible addition to Souvenirs with John Prine. Souvenirs was obviously a product of Steve's lyrical genius. Every song Prine produced with Goodman was priceless. You're the Girl I Love is beyond compare.

      John wrote those lyrics. Steve Goodman was a hell of a writer, and guitar player though.

      Souvenirs was a John Prine song. He wrote it. Steve Goodman wrote so many songs for others. You’d be amazed to see how many. John Prine and Steve Goodman were among some of the very best.

      It isn't a repetitious bass and drum beat with techno - riffs stolen from other songs and a gang-banger or white guy trying to sound like he's black, rapping the lyrics. Of course they don't like it. I pity them too.

    I was lucky enough to meet these two great porchsingers in the mid eighties. Goodman was well known as a songwriter but was even greater connecting to an audience performing live. I was stage manager for a Goodman concert at Old Cabell Hall at UVA. A few years later, I was promoting a Prine concert in the same venue on the night Steve passed (unknown to us). Maple Byrne who served as a co-writer, manager and composer and good friend to both artist was at both shows. I can truly say that not only were these three great lyricists and performers but also three genuinly nice men.
