I've always admired the mutual admiration between Prine and Goodman. Prine later on always acknowledged Goodman's attributes. Loyalty to a friend is a fine tribute. And a mark of a true friend. The fact that their music carries on is an homage to their friendship and collaboration . Cancer and COVID brought down 2 great ones but the music lives on. What greater testament. RIP Mates!
Steve is so humble here. Every other telling of that story I have read (including the one written by Kris) credits Goodman for introducing Prine to Kris and talking him up , but in this video Steve credits Kristofferson and says they just "drifted off to New York" together.
Thank you so much for posting this! Both John and Steve had a profound influence on my own years of playing and songwriting. Both were sweet, talented soul. I miss them a lot.
