More of the above, but I have to weigh in on this...Goldman is the real deal, in every way. When he plays "Goldman's Hard Times" it's as much story as song. Regardless of what he plays, it comes from the heart, every time. Stories? Ask him about when he got his first accordion, or about getting up way before dawn to ride the bus to work in Lafayette, or...but you get the idea. Go to Jazz Fest and support him, and take the time to say "Thank You."
