Good to see on your Top 10 the LP "Unfinished Business" by Steve Goodman. He often doesn't get his due. You might be interested in an eight-year project of mine that has come to fruition -- an 800-page biography of Goodman published in May, "Steve Goodman: Facing the Music." Please check my Internet site below for more info on the book. Just trying to spread the word. Feel free to do the same!

I've been reading Clay Eals' opus. Steve Goodman was one of a kind, and Clay Eals dug for every detail of Goodman's tragically short, but incredibly charmed life. It's good!
