Thanks for the Marty Stuart/John Prine version. I'd like to hear Marty play his mandolin on that (I just like to see Marty's mandolin - after John Cash vandalized it, Marty started letting everybody sign it or carve their initials in it, and it's a sight). Marty's a treasure. I have some recordings of him playing bluegrass and Americana with the generations before him - Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs (who just passed away), and others.

Neither of them played the intricate high guitar part of Steve Goodman, though - for all of the wacky songs Goodman wrote, he truly was an accomplished guitarist.

He did “Watching Joey Glow” at the performance I saw. Hysterical!

I need to pull up some videos of Nanci Griffith and Iris Dement for my daughters. Much better, musically, than Taylor Swift and some other performers they like. Taylor Swift is a beautiful girl and a clever songwriter, for her audience, but she’s a dreadful example as a vocalist.
