“ Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference ”
Road Less Traveled, Robert Frost
I went for another ride today, to the same park I have been riding to for my devotions this week. But this time I took a different route; a back road that made me think of Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans", "Rolls along past houses, farms and fields. Passin' trains that have no names,...And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles," all of which I saw on my ride Then I sat in the park, with a nice breeze blowing through and re-read the second chapter of "Ride the River". Pastor Jeff is out of town today, so I am leading the service and doing the sermon. I knew I was going to preach on "The Journey". Now I know exactly what I will preach! I will post it here tomorrow.
We proceeded on...

Good to see your post mentioning Arlo Guthrie's version of "City of New Orleans" by Steve Goodman. He often doesn't get his due. You might be interested in my 800-page biography, "Steve Goodman: Facing the Music." The book delves deeply into the genesis of "City of New Orleans," and Arlo is a key source among my 1,050 interviewees and even contributed the foreword.
You can find out more at my Internet site (below). Amazingly, the book's first printing sold out in just eight months, all 5,000 copies, and a second printing of 5,000 is available now. The second printing includes hundreds of little updates and additions, including 30 more photos for a total of 575. It just won a 2008 IPPY (Independent Publishers Association) silver medal for biography: http://www.independentpublisher.com/article.php?page=1231. To order a second-printing copy, see the "online store" page of my site. Just trying to spread word about the book. Feel free to do the same!
