No, but it sure seems to embarrass him. Goodman, appearing at the Ark this weekend, is best known for writing Arlo Guthrie's top- 40 hit "City of New Orleans." But he hates talking about it, having no idea why a song about trains - not dope or unrequited love - has climbed up the charts. "I wrote that song two and a half years ago," Goodman says, looking cherubic with his semi- long hair and roundish face. He wrote the lyrics out of despair for disappearing long-distance railroad r u n s, b e c a u s e he "thought the train was as good a way to go by land as any other." Goodman taught his song to Arlo in the back of The Quiet Knight, a Chicago coffeehouse, A FRANKOVICH PRODUCTION BUTTERFIJES ,ME FREE GODIE 4NWH ELEEN REC T and imroducing rom I 1DE TCOLUMBIA PICTURES PG Now At The MICHIGAN THEATRE Toodman at Ark and Arlo was supposed to take it to Johnny Cash, whose luck with train songs is ndtorious. But Arlo kept the song for himself and later recorded it. Born and bred. in Chicago, G o o d m a n doesn't mind that someone else's recording of "City of New Orleans" made the charts while his own didn't. He's flattered that Arlo, who accord- ing to Goodman "wasn't out stalking the publishing compa- nies for material," selected it from the wealth of songs avail- able. Goodman himself doesn't as- pire to top-40 stardom at all. He likes playing festivals-such as this summer's Philadelphia Folk Festival - and doing "a good concert." "I don't want to play Shea Stadium," he says with a heavy Mid-western drawl. "I'd like to be able to fill uv a con- anything under three or four thousand people is okay." There were far fewer than that Friday night at the Ark, but the place was still packed and extremely receptive. Goodman's flat-picking on six-string guitar sounded clear, full, and loud; his breaks ("Eat shit, Chet Atkins") -whether blues or country and and western style - were im- pressive. The self - taught musician has written more than just "City of New Orleans" type travel songs; sarcasm and satire mark much of his work. At the plea of a friend whose car was confiscat- ed, Goodman wrote a song about an overly-zealous Chicago' tow- ing company in an old-fashioned sea ballad style. "Away, hey, tow 'em away.

That's how many filled the stage of the Albert Hall a few years ago to celebrate the fourth an- niversary of "Gilbert and Sulli- van for All, Ltd." the parent company of "The World of Gil- bert and Sullivan" which played, a second performance last night at the Power Center. Thomas Round and Donald Adams, tenor and bass of the six-member company, talked about their G & S activities yes- terday at the League. Adams, who looks like a cross between Ed McMahon and Bob (of Bob and Ray), has been doing G & S professionally for 22 years. In 1963 he and other former mem- bers of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company of London, which has been the main hander-downer of Savoy tradition, formed the sep- arate company to present the musical portions of the operettas in concert form, with a mini- mum of staging and dialogue. "We do mostly concerts," said Adams, usually using local choirs of townspeople to sing the chorus parts. They rehearse on their own, and then our music director comes in before the show and works with them. It's a treat for them - they get pro- CU.L'(URIE CALFiUNAR BARS AND MUSIC-Blind Pig, classical music, no cover; Del Rio, Armando's Jazz Group, no cover; both tonight.

What Cinema -Guild is showing though, von Stroheim called "the skeleton of my dead child" - two hour version of a movie that the studio refused to release in its original six hour length.
