love the music great, pop in to my site and listen to my songs, about the my home town Sundeland and my family and life, cheers The Makem Folk Singer
The song is called The Dutchman and was most famously recorded by the late Steve Goodman ...(who penned the best damn railroad song of all time.....City of New Orleans).........on his second album Somebody Else's Troubles in the early 70s. But this song was written by Steve's friend in Chicago..MICHAEL PETER SMITH.....who also wrote another song that I do and is here on YouTube....Spoon River......
lovely sensitive rendition,it has been my privilege to have seen Eddie play a number of times here at the Edinburgh Folk Club. Very fine songwriter and performer.... whether picking out superb ragtime solos or singing ballads, he always gives a great performance.
Eddie is indeed great - I was right there when this was recorded, and you can see my friend Brian very clearly. I'm very much looking forward seeing Eddie again next week - 05- 02- 08 at the Candleliter's newer venue.
