Steve Goodman was a Grammy Award-winning folk music singer and songwriter from Chicago. “City of New Orleans” is one of his most famous numbers, thanks to Arlo Guthrie’s rendition. Bluegrass legend Jethro Burns was one half of Homer and Jethro, a group sometimes known as “the thinking man’s hillbillies.”

Good to see your post about Jethro Burns and Steve Goodman. Goodman often doesn’t get his due. Thought you might be interested in an eight-year project of mine that has come to fruition — an 800-page biography of Goodman published last month. Please e-mail me at ceals@comcast.net if you would like a background sheet on the book. Or check my Internet site below for more info and to order. Just trying to spread the word. Feel free to do the same!
