A friend of mine told me about the late Steve Goodman and his great guitar playing. Among others, he wrote "The City of New Orleans" which Arlo Guthrie made a hit of way back when and it's been covered by Jerry Reed. I haven't watched the whole show as yet but really liked his opener, a rendition of "Is it true when you say I love you?" His playing reminds me of Tommy Emmanuel's single note playing. Maybe because they are both using a similar guitar. I doubt if any of Goodman's recordings made it down to Australia in the 1970s for Tommy to be inspired by. I had never heard of Goodman until just last week. Like Tommy E. he seemed to be an all around good entertainer.
