    Guthrie grudgingly agreed, on the condition that if Goodman bought him a beer, Guthrie would listen to him play for as
    long as it took to drink the beer.
    [2] Goodman played "City of New Orleans", which Guthrie liked enough that he asked to record it."

    In the interviews or videos, Guthrie likes to add:
    "That was the best beer I ever drank."

    Dunno whether he related that at the concert that rosarugosa went to...
    I love Goodman; his songs were so warm and human and told such good stories...
    Yes, he did tell that story and many others. He is quite the storyteller!

    I ran across a first release of his vinyl album from 1967 called “Alice’s Restaurant” while digging through a dirty collection in a pizza shop storage closet in rural PA. Sadly, it wasn’t in the nicest shape but I rescued it and played the whole side one....”Alice’s Restaurant.” It was a good story then and now. But I also found some really great classics among the stash which I got for a nice price, so Arlo did me okay after all.
