Great to see your video of the version of "Red Red Robin" by Steve Goodman. What a perfect match for the onset of spring, and 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 why Goodman chose such chestnuts as "Red Red Robin" to open his shows. It also devotes seven pages to fleshing out the Muskie train story, which, alas, research shows is a fabrication -- highly entertaining but nonetheless made up.

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. To order a second-printing copy, see the "online store" page of my site. Just trying to spread word about the book. Feel free to do the same!
