_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F#] Well, we'll call this one the [Am] second annual [C] [G] Steve Goodman appearance on [Am] WNEW-FM for [A] Easter Sunday [Am] morning.
[Em] I'm Vince Gelset.
Good morning, [E] Steve.
Welcome.
[G] How you doing, Vince?

_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ When the red, red Robin comes bob, bob, bobbing along, [C] along, there'll [G] be no more sobbing
when he starts [Am] throbbing his own sweet song.
[Dm] Wake up, wake up, you [Em] sleepyhead, get up, get up, get out of [D] bed, cheer up, cheer up,
[Em] the sun is red, live, love, laugh, be happy, why should [G] I feel blue now [Am] I'm walking through
fields of flowers?
Rain may [G] glisten, but still I'll [Am] listen for hours and [Em] hours and [Dm] I'm just a kid again doing
what I did again singing [Em] a song.

That's so nice.
I'm awake now.
Yeah, okay, I think we're all awake now.
_ Steve Goodman.
About halfway through that, I remembered that there hadn't been any warm-up of any [F] sort
_ _ prior to that.
How do your fingers feel?
I guess they're okay.
It was a challenge round [E] though.
[G] Well, I promised the folks some heavy picking this morning and [D] I think we just gave it to them.
[G] _ Yeah, but we didn't say where it would come from.
[D] _ _ [G]
I got [F] lucky on that.
[F#] I almost missed [C] it.
Well, Steve, I don't know.
For people who [F#] have been hanging around in bed on this Sunday morning, just hoping that
nothing would wake them up, I think maybe that will do it.
That one will wake them up.
How are you?
Well, I'll let you know.
Okay.
I'm sneaking by.
It's good to see you again.
Trying to get over this cold.
That's because it's spring.
Every time it gets to be spring and the weather changes, two days warm, two days cold.
_ _ You do a lot of traveling too.
_ [G#] You go from climate to climate.
Well, I _ _ _ figure that I'm lucky enough to be doing that much traveling right now, so why
pass on it?
_ _ [C] We're lucky enough to have you here this morning.
Yeah, I _ had so much fun last year, man.
It's worth coming back.
It's a tradition.
We've started a tradition.
We ran into each other about a month [F] ago. _
The strangest thing, I've told this story a couple of times on the air.
Steve Goodman and I were sitting one row apart at a production, a performance of Fiddler
on the Roof with Zero Moist Toe.
Masterful performance too.
And it was _
He obviously had a cold.
_ I think he did that night, yeah.
And he was tearing him up.
_ So tradition is certainly a part of all of this.
And Easter Sunday with Steve Goodman, people have been calling me for weeks and weeks.
Is it going to happen?
_ It's happening.
Yeah.
_ I tell you, man, I hope they go out [N] and take a walk. _
