have you back, and I do love that song. Yeah, it's great
to be back, Matt, thanks for having me. And this time I
get to meet Jen who was not here last time I was here. That's
right, so great to be back. And yeah, I'm you know,
I'm plag you like that song. That's one of my favorites too, at
least of all of the songs that I've done. Yeah, absolutely, no,
that's that's really good and the story behind it that you told last time
too, And I encourage people to go back and listen to the story behind
it was was really interesting. But you've got you've got something new that you're
or well you did talk about it before the last time you're on with us,
but I think it was in the early stages of doing this. Yeah,
it was. We just just started it up. It's a it's a
stage show that I do called You, Me and Harry. Okay, it's
a uh pretty much, it's pretty much a tribute to Harry Chapin. Okay,
really, I like to call it a celebration of his story songs.
And we've been doing a few shows already. We've done shows in Pennsylvania,
shows in Vermont, and I got a couple coming up here very shortly in
Maine and New Hampshire. Okay, okay, very cool. What uh what
was it that motivated you to do to do this the Harry Chapin. Well,
you know, growing up, I had a lot of musicians that I
that I was into and uh, you know, Jim Crochey, James Taylor,
the Beatles, Crosby Stills, and Nash. But I think the one
artist that impacted me the most in how I write music and how I approach
music with Harry Chapin. Yeah, and so many years. I mean,
it wasn't long after his untimely death that I had planned to do a tribute
show when I was back in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Wasn't able to do it
at the time. And however, you know, fast forward fifty years and
here I am today and finally retired from my day job and just doing music
full time, and you know, decided, hey, now's the time to
put this show together and have some fun with it. So that's really it.
I found. There's still a lot of a lot of Harry Chapman fans
out there, oh yeah, yeah. And you know, I'm a member
of a few Harry Chapin groups on Facebook, and you know, there's I
know, there's probably a few of my chape and Nite friends from one of
those groups even joining us online today. So you know, because of that,
and Harry would always do whether he was with his band or even if
he played solo, he did a lot of solo shows. He would his
shows were very intimate. He could have five thousand people in the audience,
but he was very close to his audiences and very intimate. And that's what
I try to emulate in these shows. Most of them. I do at
small venues fifty to sixty seats. Oh wow, And that's it. It's
just you know, the reason it's called me, you and Harry is because
that's all there is. It's me, my guitar and the audience. Yeah.
We run through a litany of Harry's tunes. Oh very nice, very
nice. How many do you do? Oh gosh. And in the course
of the show there's probably about party you know tunes. I probably go through
about twenty five of them. Yeah, it all depends on the audience.
Sometimes a show, instead of being an hour and forty five minutes, could
end up being two hours and fifteen minutes. So yeah, but I do
probably, you know, between twenty five and thirty Okay, okay, do
you want to you want to play play something for us? Sure? Sure.
You know, Harry was known to run the spectrum of emotions in his
in his songs that I think that's why I'm so attracted to it. This
particular song I'll do here, it's not it's not necessarily rooted in a personal
experience of his, but more just written from the perspective of feeling pity for
oneself. Okay, you know, if you've ever been dumped. Have you
been dumped? Oh I believe it or believe it or not it? Yeah,
yeah, I've I woul admit that. You know, when you go
through probably the first couple of days of just self pity, you know,
along with anger. But and in that time you might try to drown your
sorrows with a little bit too much adult beverage, if you will. And
so this this song kind of relates to that. Now, the name of
the song is called if My Mary were here, but the song is not
necessarily about Mary. It's really about that person we all have that can pick
us up when we go through those bad times. That special friend could even
be a past girlfriend or a boyfriend, right like for you, it's probably
Jen that picks you up when you get down, right. So this one's
called if My Mary were here, all right, mm hmm, well not
he's the stone if my may we're here, and they don't think I'd phone
you if Mery were here. On the side Sackson Galad whose swords around his
knees with the grind no along the hole and the prayer that's saying please,
I would not be alone if my Mary were here. She took off Lord
I'm lost. Noh, don't think I'd be drinking. If my Mary were
here and they know word, I'd be thinking. If Mey were here,
we'll be wrapping up barb link full of cheadar cheese and wine back in up
Park camp, with the Rondevo in mind, and with picnic out in Lincoln
Park. If Mary were here. But she split so I got late.
I'm sorry that I called you in the middle of the night, but you're
the one who listens when I need a little life. I know we haven't
talked since I dropped you in the turn. I know we are not by
lady, and now the baby our hear I will tossing my troubles when my
MARYA was here, bottom lost inside the rubble one. Cosmeer is not here,
soap, Could I come on over with my heart in my hand?
BA see it on the yorkill over like rostyoting can I'm drunken seeing double Cosmerror
is not here once again, Be the friend that you've been and take me,
Please take me, m m. That sounds fantastic, fantastic. Yeah,
if you're just joining us. Lou Antonucci is here with us, and
uh, he's got this new show. Is it all Harry Chapin songs?
By the way, it's it's all Harry. There's one song that I do
that's not a Harry Chapin song. There is one Oh Lou Antonucci song,
oh Okay that I do, and I kind of wrote it about an experience
that happened to me over at the the Copper Door in in uh in Bedford
one evening when I was singing, and that's and it's called message from Harry.
Yeah, so I do that one as well. But that's the only
uh, non Harry tune in the song, yeah, and in the in
the show. Excuse me now. The one coming up on April sixth,
that's not the first one you've You've already done a couple, right, or
a few done a couple. I did one in Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh in
Brownsville, Pennsylvania, and one in Vermont up at Stage thirty three Live in
VERMONTKA. This one coming up April sixth, a week from today, at
seven pm, is in Freeport, Maine. It's at a club called Cadenza.
Okay, not craw Denza like the furniture, but yeah, Cadenza like
a solo in the middle of a musical composition. Great, great little listening
room fifty to sixty people. And for those who don't know, when you
say listening room, what's the difference between that and say a venue in the
sense that most people would think of it. Well, listening roomly is typically
is a lot smaller than you know, say someplace like Tupelo Music Hall that
has seven or eight hundred seats. Yeah, usually fifty two hundred seats,
and it's there for listening. You're not going there to drink beer, although
you can get refreshments, sure, okay, You're going there to sit down
and listen primarily to original artists, right, And musicians love it. I
love it because when you're on stage, you can hear a pin drop,
you know. I'm so used to playing at the clubs around the area here,
the restaurants, and it's all the background noise, the you know,
the dishes, the drinks, the people talking and there. It's just it's
wonderful to have an audience that comes to listen and appreciate the music. So
that's really that's what I referred to when I say listening room. Now,
this particular clubs owned by a gentleman Alan Mooney is the owner there. Great
guy. He and his wife started this place up. They bring in a
lot of national touring singers songwriters as well as local artists. We're doing the
show up there and also at all my shows. This show next week is
to benefit fit the Freeport Community Services Food Pantry. Okay, you know part
of this show, the whole concept was around carrying on Harry Chapin's focus on
fighting hunger. So at this particular venue, that's where we're taking donations and
nonperishable food items at the door for the local food pantry there as well.
Oh that's really cool. Yeah, that's really cool. That was so that
was something Harry Chapin was was passionate. Oh yeah, he was big in
it. He he started the World Hunger Organization and I didn't know that.
Oh yeah. And he you know, in the last three years of his
life he personally donated three million dollars the charitable you know functions primarily having to
do with feeding hungry people, which back then late seventies earlier, that was
quite a lot of money. Yeah. Yeah, and so his his effort
still carries on. You've got the Harry Chapin Foundation and a number of other
organizations that have really blossomed and work to help fight food hunger. Yeah,
yeah, well it's remarkable. You want to play another Harry Chapin. Sure
you know one thing, excuse me. One of the things that we do
I do in the show also is I delve into a lot of the backstories
of the music. So it's more than just me sitting down and rattling off
twenty four songs. Yeah, it's it's it's more of a lot of how
this song was written, how it came about this one. Harry was involved
quite a bit with children. You may remember, I don't know, Matt,
you may be too young to remember. Harry's brother Tom shape and used
to have a show on Saturday mornings called Make a Wish. It was it
was a children's show and he played guitar and sang songs and it was all
to educate children about a lot of different subjects. Harry wrote one hundred and
sixty songs for that show, songs like rain and Sky and Red and Blue,
and so he was pretty much in tune with children and their development.
With you will if you will at young young age, and there's been a
lot of studies done about how when a child is developing early ages, you
know, their brain has the ability to just absorb everything and that can be
extremely creative and artistic. But the studies have also found out that that stops
at a point, or at least slows down considerably, and that's when they
start to go to school. Why is that because they they run into structure,
they run into organization, they run into rules, and that starts to
stifle some of that creativity. Well, Harry tells the story. His story
has been told a couple of different ways, but he tells this story about
how there he and his wife were having dinner with a couple friend one night
and the woman mentioned that her son came home from school and on his report
card there was a note at the bottom that said, your son definitely marches
to a different drummer, but don't worry, we'll have him write in step
with the band by the end of the term. So Harry got a little
ticked off at that, right, So, and he and he wrote this
song and it's a favorite and a lot it was a favorite a lot of
his shows. It's called Flowers Are Red. All right, Wait a minute,
Okay, there we go. We'll get in the right key. I'm
playing it like a playing it like a student. Herem there we go.
All little boy went first day of school, got some Koreans and he started
to draw. He could call us all over the paper for colors was what
he is solved? And the teachers said, what you doing, young man?
I'm painting flowers, he said. She said, it's not the time
for our young man, and anyway, flowers are green and red. There's
a time for everything, young man. We should be done. You got
to show concern for everyone else or your naughty only one. And she said,
flowers are red, young man, green leaves the green. There's no
need to see flowers any all the way and the way they always have been
seen. But the little boy said, there are so many colors in the
rainbow, so many colors in the morning sun, so many colors in the
flower and I see everyone. Well. The teacher said, you're sassy.
There's a wayse that things should be. And you'll pay flowers the way they
are, so repeat after me, and she said, flowers are red,
young man, green leaves are green. No need to see flowers any all
the way and the way they all ways have been seen. What the little
boys said, there are so many colors in the rainbow, so many colors
in the morning sun, so many colors in the flower, and I see
every one now. The teacher put him in a corner. She said,
it's for your room, good, and you won't come out to you get
it right, and I'll respond, and like you should. I finally got
lonely frightened thoughts Field is here, and it went up to the teacher and
this is what he said. And he said, flowers are greed, thieves
agree, No need to see flowers any all the way, in the way
they always have been seen. Now time went by like it always does.
They moved to another town, and a little bar went first day of school,
and this is what he found. The teacher there was smiling. She
said painting should be fun, and there are so many colors in a flower,
so let's use every one. But that little war painted flower in neat
rows of green and red. And when the teacher asked him why, this
is what he said, and he said, flowers are red, green,
leaves are green. No need to see flowers any of the way and the
way they always have been seen. But you know Matt jen there must be
some way today we can ensure that our children can all say there are so
the rainbowt so many colors in the morning sun, so many colors in the
flower and I see every one. Very cool. Love that. Yeah,
yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome. If you're just joining us. Lou
Antonucci is here with us, alive in studio and playing some Harry Chapin songs.
He's got this, uh, this great show. I want to make
sure, oh you me and Harry. I wanted to make sure I got
the h the title exactly correct. By the way. So now you were
talking about how you know you uh you share stories about the songs. Do
people come up to you like after the show and have their own Harry Chapin
stories. Yeah, they do. As a matter of fact. One of
the songs I do in the show, it's a it's a fan favorite of
Harry Harry fans. It's called Mister Tanner. Yeah. It's about this dry
cleaner that sings opera on this side and he goes to New York City twice
to try to make it make it an opera and he gets panned both times.
So as I and it's the true story, And as I introduced that
song, I ask a question rhetorically to the audience, does anybody know who
Martin Tuberty is? And Martin Tuberty, by the way, is the real
mister Tanner? Okay, he's a dry cleaner. He lives in western Connecticut,
saying opera on the side, and it went to New York twice to
try to hit it big, and Harry saw this in the paper twice and
then wrote the song. So I asked the question. I was up in
Vermont, so I asked the question, does anybody know who Martin Tuberty is?
And gentlemen in the middle of the audience raises his hand and he goes,
I do. And I'm figuring he's gonna say, oh, yeah,
he's mister Tanner of mister Tanner song, and he goes, he's my next
door neighbor. Really, so here this guy was. So we started chatting
back and forth. Right then, this guy lives in western Connecticut, but
he was in Vermont on vacation. Big Harry Chapin fans saw the ads for
the show, came to the show to see the show. And so he's
telling me how he was. He's been a big Harry fan and he would
go see Harry play and he saw Harry do this song one night and he
says to himself that sounds like my neighbor. Wow, you know Martin,
And so he goes home and he goes over to his neighbor the next day
and says, Martin, I think Harry Chapin has written this song about you,
and he knew nothing about it, and so he told him, yeah,
you got to listen to his song. And as a matter of fact,
it was a few years back. Tom Chapin and the band are still
touring and they actually invited Martin Tuberty to come on with him to sing a
part in one and mister Tanner that's an operatic part. So it was really
interesting and we chatted after the show as well. But yeah, people will
come up and have their own own little stories to tell for sure. Yeah,
yeah, that's very cool. Where should people go online who want to
learn more about the show and where they can see it? I assume you
have you have more dates beyond April six? Oh yeah, just to mention,
the next day is here in New Hampshire. It's on a week from
this Sunday. It's on April fourteenth. It's up in Bosco in New Hampshire,
just about ten to fifteen minutes north of Concord. Yeah, and it's
at four o'clock in the afternoon Sunday afternoon show. It again is a benefit
show. It's benefiting hill DOA's food pantry in Boscowen and we're actually doing it
at the Bosco when the Hill Street Congregational Church there. So it's gonna be
I know, tomorrow's Easter, so everybody's going to go to church on Easter,
at least the Christians will. And you know, maybe you can go
to church next week too and then stop stop in and see the show.
But the church has got great acoustics and again four o'clock, so come on
out for that. But to learn more about the show, anybody can go
to lou Antonucci music dot com and it's got a section on the Union Harry
shows that are coming up and then you can eat It even has links where
you can buy tickets. Yeah, for the Cadenza show, I'll mention uh,
next Saturday, they're live streaming that show. Cool. They're live streaming
the show at seven pm on their Facebook page, which is just Facebook dot
com slash Cadenza Freeport. Okay, all right, that's easy. And you
know, so if you're if you're not in Maine, which a lot of
people aren't, you know, you might want to live stream the show and
check it out. Oh, excellent, outstanding, outstanding. You want to
play another one? Sure, I'm just gonna slide out a little bit more
here. Yeah, yeah, don't mind my my little flub there at the
beginning of Flowers, I just couldn't get my arms around the guitar here.
Uh. This one, obviously, this was Harry's biggest hit, okay,
and it's one that everyone would recognize, Cat's in the Cradle, yes,
of course. Yeah, and it's probably done more for father son relationships,
you know, around the globe than anything else. It was his first big
hit and his only really really monstrous hit. Yeah. But the interesting thing
that a lot of people don't know we talked about in the show was that
he didn't write the words to this song. His his wife, Sandy,
had written a poem about a relationship between a father and his son, and
he took that and massaged it and turned it into what we all know as
Cat's in the Cradle. Kidding, Okay, So let me see if I
can not here we go okay. Child arrived the other day, came to
the world in the usual way, plans to catch and bills to pay,
learn to walk. While I was away, and he was talking for anew
one as he grew, said I'm gonna be like you, Dad. I'm
gonna be like you, and the cats in the cradle and the silver sworn,
little bobble in the mine in the morning, when you come in home
that I don't know, when we'll get together, and the son gonna have
a good time. My son turned just the other day, said thanks for
the ball, Dad, come on, let's play. Teach me to throw
off. Said not today, I got a lot to do. Said that's
okay, and then walk away. But his smile never damned said I'm gonna
be like him. You know, I'm gonna be like him, and the
cat's in the cradle, selpstone, little bob blue and the mine and more.
When you come in home, Dad, I don't know, And and
he'll get together then son, we're gonna have a good chime. Came from
college to see you other day so much like a man. I just had
to see son. I'm proud of you could just sit for a while.
He shook his say it with a smile. But really, like Daddy,
is the bar of the car keys see you leader, Can I have them
please? And the cats in the cradle, Silpstone, little Bob Blue and
the mine in the mom When you're coming home, son, I don't know
when you'll get together. Then, Dad, gonna have a good job.
Man. I've long since retired. My son has move away. Called him
up just the other day, said I'd like to see you if you don't
mind. I'd love to dad, if I could find the time. But
you see, my new jobs a hassle, kids with the flu. But
Sean nice stalking to you, Dad, Sean night stalking to you. That's
so on the phone, occurred to me grown up, just like me,
my boy, just like me. And the cats in the cradle, the
seal, the stone, little Boblu and the man in the moon when you
come in. So I don't know when we'll get together. That head,
we're gonna have a good time. Beautiful, beautiful. That was Lou Antonucci
doing Cats in the Cradle And he's got to show you. Me and Harry
And there's one coming up April sixth and how many how many of these you
have booked? Do you have a quite a few of them right now?
We've got the next four book. We've got Maine, New Hampshire, and
two in Pennsylvania in May. Yeah, and we're working on a show now
in June and Massachusetts. I don't want to say where that shet because we
still haven't finalized. Uh, but I look to just do probably with my
other schedule. You know, we're looking to do maybe two of these a
month, Okay, okay, if nothing else. They're rather emotionally draining,
are they? Oh? Yeah, doing you know, two hours worth of
worth of his songs? Yeah? So yeah, I like to uh just
keeped about two two per month. Yeah, yeah. Is is there a
particular song that you've learned of his that you found challenging more and more challenging
than the others? Is there is there one that was particularly difficult? Well,
you know, it's interesting, there's a lot. You know, because
his brother Steve, who played the piano in the band and also did all
like a lot of the orchestration. Is he would use a lot of orchestration
in his songs, and for some of his songs, the orchestration is somewhat
of an integral part, so it's, you know, when you're just doing
it on on acoustic guitar. A lot of his songs are difficult. Harry
would do a lot of finger picking. I don't do as much finger picking.
I'll use a pick more often, but I try to emulate as best
I can those little nuances in the song. So they're all, you know,
probably one of the it's not that they're difficult, it's that they're long.
You know, when I look at the songs in my show, there
are two eight minute songs. There's one ten minute song. Wow, two
six minute songs. You know, they weren't the typical three minutes on the
radio out right. So that's the only thing. I think. The hardest
thing right now is, you know, remembering all the lyrics. Yeah,
no doubt. Do you want to get one more in? I'd love to
hear one more How much time we got We've got about eight minutes, okay,
but I also want to make sure we have time to remind everybody too
before we wrap up about I think, uh, I know it does occur
to me. I'm throwing I'm throwing that at you after you were just telling
us how long the songs are. I'm like, oh, I wasn't thinking
about that all that. Okay for that, and then I'm going to do
a six minute song for you. Okay, Okay. Cool. The unfortunate
thing is a great story behind it, but I won't get into this story.
Everybody is probably familiar with Harry Chapmin's song Taxi. Yes, all right,
Oh you you talked about that last time? Yeah? Yeah, And
you know Harry, he he was he never drove a taxi, although he
did have a Hackney license. Yeah, and uh, he actually wrote this
song in thinking about a past girlfriend named Claire McIntyre. Yeah, okay,
who unfortunately just she just passed away about three weeks ago. Oh really,
yeah, and she uh, she was his girlfriend. Uh, they broke
They broke up because she moved to San Francisco, Okay to study music theory,
and they just kind of faded and he had always thought about what would
it be like if they got back together. So that's uh, that's how
he That was the inspiration for writing the song Okay, Taxi. It was
the rain and nine in Frisco. He didn't want more fair to make my
name lady up a head waved, flagging it down. She got in the
line we had going to my lady Blue. It's a shame you n your
gun in the rain. She just looked out the window. Sixteen Parkside.
There's something about a million. I swear i'd seen her face before. She
said, shall be a mistake in And she didn't say anything more. Took
a while, but she looked in the mirror. Then she glanced at the
license for my name. A smile seemed to come to her slowly or sad
smile to see and she said, how are you are? I said,
how are you soon? It was it too many miles, too little smile,
I stie, remember you said, was somewhere in a fairy table.
Used to take her home in my car. We learned about love in the
back of a Dodge lesson. I hadn't gone to Fu. She was going
to be an actress. I was gonna learn to fly. She took off
to find the footplights. I took off to find the sky. Why I've
got something inside me to drive the princess lie, there's a while an wizard
hiding in me, illuminating my mind. Oh, I've got something inside me
now what my die is about beside, let my outside tide me over till
my time walk. Give you this sword that she's skying. Yes, she's
flying creative fall. I'll tell you why. Yes, gosh, she's just
aren't we all? There was not much more for us to talk about.
Whatever we'd had once was gone. So I turned my cab into the driveway,
asked the gate in the fine triven long, and she said we must
get together. But I knew it'd never be range mention and mid twenty dollars
for us who fifteth there, said Harry, keep the change. What another
man might have been, another man might have been hurt, another man never
to let her go. Ustashed the building my shirt, and she walked to
in silence. It's strange high you never know, but we both gotten what
we asked for such a long, long time ago. She was gonna be
an actress. I was going to learn to fly. She took off the
five of footlight. I took off to find the sky. He she's acting
happy inside of handsome hall. Me I'm flying in the tax taking tips and
getting stone. I go fly. So when on stone, beautifully done,
