I just love to hear Howard sing this song and play the piano! I can sure feel the spirit from him through this song and his piano playing even though he's passed away!
What a personality and showmanship. He reminds me of the movie "big fish" when Albert Finney says: "You've got the facts but not the flavor". This man I'm sure was great story teller and would have been a great voice over in Hollywood. Not his calling I guess. Boy ya gotta love him! Rest in Peace Mr. Goodman.
Boy you sure feel like you know him. What a great character! He reminds me of the movie "Big Fish" when Albert Finney says to his son.......... "you've got all the facts but not the flavor" I think thats how it went. That has stuck with me since I saw it. And Happy Goodman has all the flavor. How grand is that!
Wow what a personality!!! I love how they got their name from his mother. The Yamaha thing, I'm still laughing............ You just live for people like this and their wit.
Sorry that they are gone as we need all the good people we can.
hoover, i know vestal died and boy do i miss that one of a kind voice. but i didn't even know she was sick or whatever. do you know what happened with her?
my last name is goodman and i have been told that i am a great cuz of howard. i wish i new. i love them so much and cant wait to seethem again in heaven.
Rusty died in 1990 and Sam died 11 months later; if you ever get the DVD "Old Friends" youll see the Happy Goodman Familys last ever performace; compare the Rusty Goodman there to the old videos here; its amazing he even tried to sing at that state.
What a wonderful video. Truly has touched me once again today. God Bless!
