Video for Weekend Watching

If you like trains (who doesn't) and music, and a good story, then check out this video.
Everyone thinks that Arlo Guthrie wrote the City of New Orleans, but actually it was written by Steve Goodman, a Chicago-area, folk guitarist-composer, who created this wonderful song in 1970, two years before Arlo Guthrie turned it into a mainstream hit. Watch this narrated video when you have 13 minutes to spare.

Willie Nelson does a nice version too.

I always liked Steve Goodman's tune "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request." Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xBxZGQ1dJk.

In the late 1990s I also liked singing "The Twentieth Century is Almost Over"! Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ_3wJuLIdk.

Would have been nice to hear the song all the way through at some point in that 13 minutes.
