Saw John in a venue (Early '70's) on Northwestern University's Evanston campus. The performance was in a small building that has now been demolished. My female friends and I took the Red Line to Howard and then switched to the Brown Line which let us off close to the Northwestern Campus. To say the least it was a memorable experience, and I know it sounds trite, but it was a gift that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

This song hits close to home. My Grandfather & Grandmother grew old together. My Grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and ended taking some pills she wasn’t supposed and died of an accidental overdose. It hurts because I’m the only one of her grandchildren who got to know her before she started losing her mind. I went from seeing her care deeply about nature to killing a frog because she thought it was a pest

Steve has been dead longer than he was alive.....I was devastated when Steve passed. Thank God we have all his recorded music. Saw Steve live at Harry Hope's in Cary, IL many years ago. He died in 1984 I believe so it must have been in the early 80's or late 70's.

My father inlaw came to visit my wife and me in New Orleans. I wanted to do something special for him so I planned a night out to see John Prine and Steve Goodman on the Riverboat President. I went into town to get tickets but thought I would have a roast beef po" boy at this little hole in the wall Cafe that mostly only locals knew about. I got my sandwich and there was no place to sit. A young guy offered to share his table with me. We exchanged names and he asked what I was doing today. I told him about Frank being in town and I was getting tickets to see John And Steve. I also told him Frank was a 3 time VETERAN. WWII. , KOREA,,AND VIETNAM. And that he was also stationed in Germany. Then. The shock came. He told me that he was John's Guitar Tech. And if I would give him the three names of the party he would give us BACKSTAGE PASSES ALL ACCESS AFTER SHOW.!! What an evening we had. Frank and John were stationed on the same base in Germany. John played for a little over an hour. Steve played a little over an hour. For the encore John and Steve played about another 45 minutes. Backstage all drinks , shrimp, gumbo, jambalaya, you could possibly eat. WHAT A MOMENTOUS NIGHT !!

I'm pretty old and I can remember Homer and Jethro in 1950 something listening to them play on the radio on the way to grandfather's farm. Mostly they were funny, singing and playing guitar and mandolin. Still don't know where Homer went, and he's not mentioned today. Jethro was a fine player. We always went on Sunday on the probably 45 min drive and that is what I waited for. I played for yrs as a semi pro and it's because of them. Go, I loved them.

He would come out with John Prine., they were great friends. Steve was always cordial , even though the last time I saw him. his cancer had come back. He still performed and nothing got in his way of performing. He was a humble and brilliant songwriter.. and consummate performer..

I was a house musician at a coffee house called The Flick, in 1970. Steve was there as well and his music was magical. He could pop a guitar string and go into a funny dialogue while he was changing the string and the audience was so into what he was saying, they forgot he had to pause a song. As soon as the string was restrung, he went back to what he was singing without having missed a beat. Steve was one of the most gentle, friendly, and warm musicians I ever met. My singing/guitar partner, Larry loved this song and played it often while I sang harmonies to the chorus. Steve and Larry are both gone now, but for a time in the early 70s, the music was magical.
