Does anyone have this mp3 or know where I can get it? I love this song from Wrigley, and would love to have this on my iPod. I just think this version is so much better then any of Steve Goodman's.

email is mattk22 @ yahoo.com

Great tune. I actually ordered the Live at Wrigley Show on CD from Mailboat records, you get the Sunday night and Monday afternoon show version....

I never realized until after I saw JB do this song live, that it was a Steve Goodman tune. I always thought Arlo Guthrie wrote it..

No Arlo didnt write it. In fact, at his concert he always tells the story of how Steve Goodman sang the song for him, that caused him to record it. I will tell it,...........

After a show Arlo was sitting in a bar, when someone walks up to him and tells him he has a song that he needs to hear and record. Arlo being tired doesnt want to listen to some guy who has a song for him. Arlo says that if Steve buys him a beer, he can sing whatever he wants as long as Arlo is drinking the beer. Steve replies "That sounds like a good deal", and Arlo says "It does?". Anyway, Steve Goodman sang the song for Arlo and the rest is history.
