5:29 Speaker 1: Official name You me and Harry, You me and Harry.

5:33 Speaker 10: And I think the first time I ever heard you

5:37 Speaker 10: talk about that was way back the first time you

5:41 Speaker 10: were on the show. I think you were you were

5:42 Speaker 10: kind of in the early stages of developing this.

5:44 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it was I think it was three

5:46 Speaker 1: years ago.

5:47 Speaker 11: Wow, you know, where does the time go?

5:50 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So we were just agatting it started

5:53 Speaker 1: at that time. But it's been it's been going very well. Yeah,

5:57 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, I don't I don't

6:00 Speaker 1: do a lot of shows. My other schedule of you know,

6:03 Speaker 1: playing restaurants and bars throughout New Hampshire keeps me pretty busy.

6:08 Speaker 1: But I typically try to do a couple, you know,

6:11 Speaker 1: one or two shows of you, me and Harry in

6:14 Speaker 1: a month.

6:14 Speaker 10: Yeah, let's talk about that more. But I want to

6:18 Speaker 10: play this, So you send us this promo that'll kind

6:20 Speaker 10: of give people a little bit of a better idea

6:22 Speaker 10: of what this is about, and then we'll talk about it.

6:25 Speaker 11: So let's listen to this.

6:31 Speaker 8: Playing Friday night at the Cup and Door. Then the

6:36 Speaker 8: guy who messitch from Harry when one of his fans

6:41 Speaker 8: walked across the floor and.

6:44 Speaker 1: Me note, And that note, of course, was a fans

6:49 Speaker 1: request for Harry's timeless classic taxi. Hello everyone who Antonucci here?

6:55 Speaker 1: You know, Harry Chapin was more than just a songwriter,

6:58 Speaker 1: a filmmaker, off Broadway player, and even more importantly, a philanthropist.

7:03 Speaker 1: He was such a masterful storyteller. His music became a

7:07 Speaker 1: mirror to our everyday lives, full of joy, sorrow, triumphs

7:11 Speaker 1: and quiet disappointments. Chapin transformed fleeting emotions into permanent memories

7:17 Speaker 1: through his songs, captivating audiences with melody and meaning.

7:22 Speaker 11: You.

7:22 Speaker 1: Me and Harry presents my interpretation of Harry's storytelling, intertwined

7:28 Speaker 1: with backstories and little known anecdotes. My one man stage

7:31 Speaker 1: performance promises to capture you, the audience from the get

7:36 Speaker 1: go and not loosen its grasp until the final note,

7:39 Speaker 1: which is usually a note everyone is singing.

7:45 Speaker 8: Harry, will La do justice, Harry, will La make you proud?

7:53 Speaker 8: Not everybody is looking for your stories song.

7:56 Speaker 1: But business one man the crown.

8:03 Speaker 8: Could have said, I'm sorry, I haven't played that one.

8:08 Speaker 1: And is but something told me to give it a go,

8:14 Speaker 1: and overcame my fee. All of the fan favorites are there,

8:20 Speaker 1: Cats in the Cradle, Taxi, mister Tanner, and so many more.

8:24 Speaker 1: And by the way, the song you're listening to, a

8:26 Speaker 1: Message from Harry, is one of my original tunes, inspired

8:30 Speaker 1: by one of Harry's more passionate fans. It's the only

8:33 Speaker 1: song in the show not written by Harry, and I

8:36 Speaker 1: can't wait to play it for you in person, along

8:39 Speaker 1: with Harry's many story songs. So I hope to see

8:42 Speaker 1: you down the road someday soon when it's just you,

8:46 Speaker 1: me and Harry. It's been twenty yard years since I

8:52 Speaker 1: sang's words, but I remember ever won.

9:00 Speaker 10: Yeah, So, Lou, I think anyone who listens to that

9:03 Speaker 10: can tell. Obviously, this is a project that you're very

9:06 Speaker 10: passionate about, and I'm curious, so what does And we've

9:10 Speaker 10: talked about all this before, obviously, but for newer listeners

9:13 Speaker 10: who don't know, or maybe are not familiar with you,

9:15 Speaker 10: what is it about Harry Chapin that you love so much?

9:17 Speaker 10: And obviously he's a great inspiration to you musically, but

9:20 Speaker 10: what is it about him?

9:21 Speaker 1: Well? You know, I I guess one of the reasons

9:26 Speaker 1: that I'm so passionate about it because I grew up

9:29 Speaker 1: on him, as I grew up on Neil Young and

9:32 Speaker 1: James Taylor and Croachey. But the thing about Harry was

9:37 Speaker 1: he was such a personable entertainer. His shows were a

9:45 Speaker 1: lot less about singing and a lot more about connecting

9:50 Speaker 1: with the audience. Yeah. And it's it's interesting because as

9:55 Speaker 1: I do, as I do these shows, i will after

10:00 Speaker 1: we get through with the sound check and everything, and

10:02 Speaker 1: the doors open and the people are coming in, I'll

10:05 Speaker 1: go around and I'll introduce myself to members of the audience. Yeah,

10:09 Speaker 1: and the really interesting thing is that each member of

10:13 Speaker 1: the audience has a Harry story. Yeah, you know, like

10:17 Speaker 1: I went to see Harry in nineteen seventy nine, and

10:21 Speaker 1: you know, it was my anniversary, and I took my

10:23 Speaker 1: wife and they go back and they remember all this

10:26 Speaker 1: and his you know, his his stories are so real,

10:30 Speaker 1: you know, because they're there are a lot of a

10:33 Speaker 1: lot of them are about real people and real things

10:35 Speaker 1: that have happened. And so I think that's that's the

10:38 Speaker 1: thing that I'm most interested in Harry and his music.

10:42 Speaker 1: Why I'm so interested and passionate about it because and

10:46 Speaker 1: I've noticed that when I write, you know, I kind

10:51 Speaker 1: of lean that way really much much more intimate songs

10:56 Speaker 1: that make have some kind of connection, there's some kind

10:58 Speaker 1: of personal, uh relationship going on or something like that.

11:03 Speaker 1: So I think that's it. That's in a nutshell, this

11:07 Speaker 1: is safe to assume.

11:07 Speaker 11: I mean, you see your kind of your all time

11:09 Speaker 11: favorite artist in terms of influence.

11:13 Speaker 1: And I think in terms of influence on my music, Yes,

11:21 Speaker 1: I think I I have a lot of all time

11:23 Speaker 1: favorite artists, you know, the Beatles, Crosby Stills, Nash.

11:27 Speaker 11: Sure sure to name a few, but yeah.

11:29 Speaker 1: But I think as far as someone that has an

11:32 Speaker 1: impact on what I do musically, yeah, definitely without doubt.

11:36 Speaker 10: Yeah, we also have some audio of some audience reactions

11:41 Speaker 10: to the show, and we should listen to this too

11:43 Speaker 10: because this will kind of give it an idea too

11:46 Speaker 10: to people of of what to expect and uh and

11:49 Speaker 10: of course if you are just joining us, Lou Antonucci

11:51 Speaker 10: is here with us in studio and he's going to

11:53 Speaker 10: play for us later too, so that will also give

11:55 Speaker 10: you an idea obviously. But and we always enjoy that

11:57 Speaker 10: when Lou Lou comes in and plays this.

11:59 Speaker 1: This by the way, the audio, we did a show

12:03 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and the videographer that was doing video of

12:06 Speaker 1: the show would grab people as they were leaving the show. Okay, okay,

12:10 Speaker 1: just say hey, what did you think?

12:12 Speaker 10: Yeah, so these are all very spontaneous just right after

12:14 Speaker 10: the show. Yeah, yeah, let's give this a listen here.

12:18 Speaker 5: This performance tonight was absolutely amazing. It was way way.

12:26 Speaker 12: Better than what I even expected, and what I expected

12:30 Speaker 12: was great. Really liked it and we're definitely coming back again.

12:35 Speaker 13: Who is totally amazing, had so much fun tonight this

12:41 Speaker 13: is what this is as good as it gets.

14:00 Speaker 1: but a lot of fun.

14:00 Speaker 11: Yeah, great place. Oh that's excellent.

14:03 Speaker 10: By the way, So there's somebody in the chat room

14:05 Speaker 10: on YouTube who I'm not going to say who this

14:09 Speaker 10: who it is yet because this person had emailed me

14:13 Speaker 10: and wanted to call in and surprise you, and it

14:16 Speaker 10: relates to the show.

14:17 Speaker 11: It relates to you, me and Harry.

14:19 Speaker 10: So I'm not gonna say who it is because I

14:20 Speaker 10: don't want to ruin the surprise if they call in.

14:22 Speaker 10: So hopefully they're still listening, but they are in the

14:25 Speaker 10: chat room, so we'll see.

14:26 Speaker 11: If they don't call by the end of the show,

14:28 Speaker 11: I'll go ahead and say who it is, but I

14:29 Speaker 11: don't want to wreck the surprise because I know they

14:31 Speaker 11: wanted to surprise you.

14:32 Speaker 1: But it's someone you know, as long as it's not

14:35 Speaker 1: Harry's lawyer calling me about performance.

14:38 Speaker 14: Right.

14:41 Speaker 10: Although this may or may not be a hint, but

14:43 Speaker 10: this individual posted in the chat room hashtag.

14:46 Speaker 11: Went in doubt do something. I don't know if that

14:48 Speaker 11: gives it away or not, but.

14:50 Speaker 1: I think it might.

14:51 Speaker 11: You think it might.

14:52 Speaker 1: I think it might, but we'll see.

14:53 Speaker 11: We'll see.

14:54 Speaker 10: Yeah, we'll see if they call, now, how many of

14:57 Speaker 10: these performances have you done?

17:01 Speaker 11: Excellent. Yeah, no, you stay very busy.

17:03 Speaker 4: Well.

17:03 Speaker 10: By the way, the individual I was talking about, they're

17:05 Speaker 10: asking the phone number. The studio line is six O

17:08 Speaker 10: three two five oh six oh seven, six O three

17:11 Speaker 10: two five oh six oh seven. So I'll keep an

17:13 Speaker 10: eye on the phone line if you want to uh,

17:15 Speaker 10: if you want to join us.

17:18 Speaker 11: Oh, Maria vanishes in there too, by the way, I

17:19 Speaker 11: think she's a fan. Excellent. Excellent.

17:22 Speaker 1: Great.

17:23 Speaker 11: Now the has the show?

17:24 Speaker 10: Has the show changed as you've gone about doing these performances,

17:28 Speaker 10: does it change like do you change the set list

17:30 Speaker 10: or do you have something kind of locked in or

17:32 Speaker 10: do you kind of feel the crowd or.

17:34 Speaker 1: Well, that's that's a that's a good question. What I'll

17:36 Speaker 1: typically do when I'm I do have an overall set

17:40 Speaker 1: list that if I played that whole set list of

17:43 Speaker 1: Chapin tunes, it would probably take up about three hours. Yeah,

17:47 Speaker 1: but with all the backstories that I do, I really

17:50 Speaker 1: only use about an hour and a half worth of

17:53 Speaker 1: actual song music, Okay. And so what I'll do is

17:56 Speaker 1: before the show, I'll walk around, I'll talk to people

17:59 Speaker 1: in the audience. I'll find you know, what's your favorite

18:02 Speaker 1: chap In tune? Right, yeah, And if it's not in

18:06 Speaker 1: that particular set list, I'll replace something with that song.

18:09 Speaker 1: Oh okay, I did that one night. I know there's

18:12 Speaker 1: a song by song by Harry that that's called Corey's Coming,

18:18 Speaker 1: which is like a huge favorite of Chapin fans. Oh okay,

18:23 Speaker 1: And I typically do it in most of my shows,

18:26 Speaker 1: and I didn't have it in this particular set list.

18:28 Speaker 1: And as I'm talking to the to the folks. I

18:31 Speaker 1: talked to one gentleman and he says, are you going

18:34 Speaker 1: to do Corey's Coming tonight?

18:36 Speaker 11: Yeah?

18:36 Speaker 1: And I said, well, I didn't have it in the

18:39 Speaker 1: set list, but if you'd like to hear it. And

18:42 Speaker 1: before I could finish, she said, I named my daughter

18:46 Speaker 1: after as I named my daughter Cory, Oh wow, after

18:50 Speaker 1: Harry's songs Corey Corey's Coming. So I said, we know what,

18:53 Speaker 1: I've got to do it.

18:54 Speaker 9: Yeah.

18:55 Speaker 1: So I did it, and about a two thirds of

18:57 Speaker 1: the now I hadn't played it for a few days.

19:00 Speaker 1: Thirds of the way through the song, I forgot the

19:03 Speaker 1: third verse. Oh no, you know now Harry would do

19:07 Speaker 1: that sometimes.

19:08 Speaker 11: Yeah.

19:08 Speaker 1: So, but what's interesting is there's so many Chapin fans

19:13 Speaker 1: in the audience.

19:14 Speaker 11: Yeah.

19:14 Speaker 1: After trying for twenty seconds of the song, playing through

19:19 Speaker 1: some instrumental, I finally said, folks, I forgot the verse.

19:23 Speaker 1: Does anybody know this verse?

19:25 Speaker 11: Yeah?

19:25 Speaker 1: And finally there was someone in the audience that yelled

19:30 Speaker 1: out the first couple of lines of the first I

19:32 Speaker 1: had it, and then I went through it and everybody

19:34 Speaker 1: you know went along with it. But yeah, yeah, so

19:38 Speaker 1: I do I do mix it up. It generally it's

19:41 Speaker 1: it's the same. There's there's some songs that are always there. Yeah,

19:45 Speaker 1: but then there are others that I'll interchange.

19:48 Speaker 11: Okay, okay, So we have somebody on the line, Hello,

19:52 Speaker 11: welcome to the show. Hello. Oh, I guess they can't

19:59 Speaker 11: hear me, all right, I guess they hung up. I

20:03 Speaker 11: know who it is, but they they called and then

20:06 Speaker 11: I don't know, they didn't stay on the line.

20:08 Speaker 10: But that's interesting that so when you're going around and

20:11 Speaker 10: you're talking to everybody before the show, so in a sense,

20:14 Speaker 10: they're actually helping shape the show.

20:16 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and they don't and they don't even know.

20:18 Speaker 10: Because it's funny because as you're going around and you're

20:20 Speaker 10: introducing yourself to people and asking them questions like what's

20:23 Speaker 10: your favorite Harry Chapin song and things like that, it

20:25 Speaker 10: probably never even occurs to them that they're influencing what

20:30 Speaker 10: the show is going to be that night, to you know,

20:32 Speaker 10: to a small extent, But it does, and that's pretty cool.

20:35 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well, there, like I said, there's a certain

20:38 Speaker 1: certain number of songs that these fans will expect. Yeah,

20:43 Speaker 1: if you're doing a Harry Chapin show and it's not

20:46 Speaker 1: you know, the typical songs always are Cats in the

20:49 Speaker 1: Cradle and Taxi. Yeah, but songs like Cory's Coming or

20:53 Speaker 1: Mister Tanner, you know, songs like that were kind of

20:57 Speaker 1: the general audience out there may not be familiar with

21:00 Speaker 1: unless sure they would go to Harry Chapin concerts. Yeah,

21:04 Speaker 1: but these folks, the ones that come to this show,

21:08 Speaker 1: they know them.

21:08 Speaker 9: Yeah.

21:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's it. It makes it, It makes it great.

21:11 Speaker 1: It makes a lot of fun.

21:12 Speaker 11: Oh, that's awesome. Oh. I was trying to answer the

21:15 Speaker 11: phone again, but uh, there's nobody there. God bless them

21:19 Speaker 11: for trying. But I don't know.

21:21 Speaker 10: It's like they get impatient, I guess and hang up. Yeah, no,

21:24 Speaker 10: that's all right. We're gonna try this one more time

21:27 Speaker 10: because the phone's ringing. Hello, you're on the air. Hello, Hello, Matt, Yes, welcome,

21:35 Speaker 10: you're on the air.

21:38 Speaker 14: Well, thank you, Hey, Lou, how you doing, Hi?

21:50 Speaker 1: a little hint with the hashtag when in dow do something.

21:54 Speaker 14: Ah, yes, I didn't mean to be so obvious.

21:58 Speaker 11: So who are your lou?

22:03 Speaker 14: No?

22:04 Speaker 11: I was asking who are you, Len, but turned down

22:05 Speaker 11: your radio please or your computer. We're getting uh, we're

22:10 Speaker 11: hearing everything twice.

22:13 Speaker 14: Ah, I'm sorry about that upstairs at home, not in

22:17 Speaker 14: the studio, so I'm probably let me let me see

22:19 Speaker 14: what I can do about killing some sound here? Is

22:22 Speaker 14: any better?

22:23 Speaker 11: Yeah? Sounds fine, sounds fine?

22:25 Speaker 2: So who are you?

22:26 Speaker 1: How do you?

22:27 Speaker 11: How do you know Lou?

22:29 Speaker 14: Well, Lou and I got acquainted because of the Harry

22:33 Speaker 14: Chapin fan based community. I was a friend of Harry's

22:39 Speaker 14: and I host a monthly uh podcast, I guess you

22:45 Speaker 14: could call it called Kick and Chat Live, which is global.

22:49 Speaker 14: Oh wow, joined in and lets us with his talents,

22:53 Speaker 14: and oh we've been uh, we've become great friends over time.

22:58 Speaker 14: And I think what Lou is doing with you, me

23:02 Speaker 14: and Harry is just not only a phenomenal show and tribute,

23:06 Speaker 14: but it's extremely unique in what goes on with respect

23:13 Speaker 14: to Harry's music, memory and his humanitarian legacy.

23:21 Speaker 11: Oh well, that's that's quite an endorsement.

23:26 Speaker 1: Check us in the mill.

23:29 Speaker 14: Well, no, I really don't have to. I really don't

23:32 Speaker 14: have to promote Lou all that much. He's very good

23:35 Speaker 14: at shameless self promotion.

23:38 Speaker 10: Oh my, Well, That's that's what it takes though, right,

23:42 Speaker 10: that's important. You know, nobody's gonna do it for you.

23:44 Speaker 10: You got to get out there and do it. So

23:46 Speaker 10: that's what it takes.

23:47 Speaker 14: Absolutely. I just I just figured i'd give Lou a

23:51 Speaker 14: little bit of a surprise from down here and one

23:54 Speaker 14: of Ore's Argentina and Lou I am streaming this on

23:58 Speaker 14: the community page, so everybody's getting it all over the world.

24:02 Speaker 11: Fantastic, right, We like that. We like that.

24:06 Speaker 14: Nothing wrong with that, huh.

24:08 Speaker 11: Not a thing? Not a thing? Well, very good line.

24:11 Speaker 11: We appreciate you anything.

24:13 Speaker 16: Else, nothing really, just Lou break a leg, and we

24:19 Speaker 16: appreciate what you're doing for Harry, for the community, and gosh,

24:24 Speaker 16: you know, look, I knew Harry for several years before

24:28 Speaker 16: his untimely death, and I was pretty close with him.

24:33 Speaker 14: One thing that Lou's show has that no other show has.

24:38 Speaker 14: Harry had this incredible ability. And Lou kind of described it,

24:44 Speaker 14: whether you were in an intimate setting with Harry or

24:48 Speaker 14: a thirty five thousand seat arena stadium amphitheater, you felt

24:54 Speaker 14: like you were sitting in your living room with him

24:57 Speaker 14: or in his living room. Yeah, and that's the uniqueness

25:02 Speaker 14: of Lou's show.

25:04 Speaker 4: Wow.

25:04 Speaker 14: He doesn't try to be Harry, but you feel it. Yeah,

25:09 Speaker 14: you just you're just taken back. And it's become generational

25:14 Speaker 14: because we now have three generations of people truly enjoying

25:22 Speaker 14: Harry's stories and music and Louis, you're just doing a

25:27 Speaker 14: great thing, man.

26:36 Speaker 1: friend of Harry's and uh, yeah, and he was a

26:39 Speaker 1: DJ for many years. Oh okay, and that's how he

26:42 Speaker 1: met Harry. Okay, when he was DJing and Harry was

26:45 Speaker 1: doing his DJ stops like in the old days. Yeah,

26:48 Speaker 1: we were promoting. Yeah, and they became friends. And he

26:52 Speaker 1: runs this this podcast and this group on Facebook and

26:57 Speaker 1: he does have a couple of thousand members all over

27:01 Speaker 1: the world.

27:02 Speaker 11: Oh, fantastic.

27:02 Speaker 1: So it's it's a lot of fun.

27:04 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's excellent. That's excellent. Well, do you want to

27:06 Speaker 11: play something for us?

27:07 Speaker 1: Sure? Sure, one of the songs I wanted to do

27:11 Speaker 1: from the show for you. As a matter of fact,

27:15 Speaker 1: I think we have a little clip on this one too.

27:18 Speaker 1: Let's see here, Martin Tuberty. Oh yeah, yeah, I'll set

27:24 Speaker 1: it up a little bit, and then that little clip

27:25 Speaker 1: can set it up even further. Yeah. You know, like

27:31 Speaker 1: we've talked about, there's a lot of interaction during the show.

27:34 Speaker 1: And when I go to introduce Harry's song mister Tanner,

27:38 Speaker 1: which is a song about a dry cleaner who also

27:43 Speaker 1: sings opera on the side. His name is Martin Turberty,

27:48 Speaker 1: and it's it's a Harry Chapin fan favorite. Okay, if

27:54 Speaker 1: you've been to Harry Chapin concerts, you know this song.

27:57 Speaker 1: And I was doing a show in and I typically

28:02 Speaker 1: will be to start this song. They'll say, anybody in

28:06 Speaker 1: the audience know who Martin Tuberty is, and someone will

28:10 Speaker 1: raise their hand, or maybe not, maybe nobody does. And

28:14 Speaker 1: this gentleman in the middle of the audience raises his hand.

28:16 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, excited, and I figure he's going to say, yeah,

28:21 Speaker 1: Martin Tuberty is really mister Tanner. So I call on

28:25 Speaker 1: him and it turns out, well, let's play the clip

28:31 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens.

28:32 Speaker 11: All right, cool, let's play the clip by the.

28:34 Speaker 1: Name of Martin Turberty. Does that ring a bell for

28:37 Speaker 1: anybody on? Okay, he's our next door neighbor, really lives

28:42 Speaker 1: across the street from us, the real Martin Tuberty. I'll

28:46 Speaker 1: tell you about it at the break. But I wish

28:48 Speaker 1: I knew I would have him come do his part.

28:53 Speaker 1: So we're gonna do it without Martin. Ah, but I

28:56 Speaker 1: can't believe that you're serious. There's a whole story behind it.

29:00 Speaker 6: But yeah, I figured it out. I asked him.

29:02 Speaker 1: He confirmed it.

29:03 Speaker 17: He did not know that it was him until I

29:07 Speaker 17: told him about it, and then ultimately he got in

29:09 Speaker 17: touch with Tom and they've actually.

29:11 Speaker 1: They've used him in a couple of shows. He's used

29:13 Speaker 1: him in some shows. Can you call him? You think

29:16 Speaker 1: he could come over and do it with us? Be

29:17 Speaker 1: a three and a half hour drive for him? Oh okay,

29:19 Speaker 1: all right, you didn't drive three and a half hours

29:22 Speaker 1: to kid.

29:24 Speaker 2: We did.

29:24 Speaker 1: But the other day. Oh okay, thank you for being

29:28 Speaker 1: here so much. Okay, anyway, sorry, folks, to a little

29:32 Speaker 1: side conversation. So you do know Martin Tbrey. Martini, Martin

29:37 Speaker 1: Tberty at the time, the way I understand it, lived

29:40 Speaker 1: in Weston, Connecticut, and he had gone twice to New

29:45 Speaker 1: York City once in nineteen seventy one nineteen seventy two.

29:48 Speaker 1: He was a dry cleaner who on the side sang opera,

29:54 Speaker 1: loved opera, and so we went in for his big

29:58 Speaker 1: time shot in New York and both times he got

30:03 Speaker 1: panned rather unceremoniously by the critics. And so Harry actually

30:10 Speaker 1: read the story and he saw it twice in the

30:13 Speaker 1: New York Times. And Harry, you changed the name from

30:19 Speaker 1: mister Heberty to mister Tanner. He changed the city from

30:24 Speaker 1: western Connecticut to Dayton, Ohio, and you get probably one

30:30 Speaker 1: of his fans, all time favorites, this little thing called

30:35 Speaker 1: mister Tanner.

30:37 Speaker 11: That's crazy, though. There was somebody there wow who just wow.

30:40 Speaker 1: Yeah. And it was interesting because Martin lives in Connecticut,

30:44 Speaker 1: still does. His show was up in Vermont, and here

30:47 Speaker 1: this gentleman was on vacation with his wife up in

30:52 Speaker 1: Vermont because he lives down in Connecticut and saw the

30:55 Speaker 1: promotion for the show and shape and fans, so he

30:58 Speaker 1: had to come to the show.

31:00 Speaker 9: Oh wow.

31:00 Speaker 1: So it was really pretty interesting. That's cool anyway, So

31:05 Speaker 1: let me do a little bit mister Tanner. So when Harry,

31:08 Speaker 1: when Harry does mister Tanner, his bass player, Big John Wallace,

31:12 Speaker 1: would sing this operatic part in the background.

31:15 Speaker 11: Oh really yeah, oh wow.

31:17 Speaker 1: And so when I do it, obviously there's no opera

31:20 Speaker 1: singer to sing along with me. But yeah, so that

31:23 Speaker 1: part's not in here. But the rest of the song

31:25 Speaker 1: is there. Okay, so mister Tanner all right. Tanner was

31:38 Speaker 1: a cleaner from a town in the Midwest, and of

31:41 Speaker 1: all the clean and shops around, it made his the best.

31:46 Speaker 1: But he also was a baritone. Side while hanging clothes,

31:51 Speaker 1: he practiced scales, while pressing tales, sang at local shows.

31:57 Speaker 1: His friends and neighbors praise the voice going out from

32:01 Speaker 1: his throat, said that he should he use his gift

32:05 Speaker 1: instead of cleaning coats. But music was his life. It

32:16 Speaker 1: was not his livelihood, and it made him feel so happy,

32:21 Speaker 1: made him feel.

32:23 Speaker 13: So good, and he sang from his heart, and he

32:27 Speaker 13: sang from his soul.

32:30 Speaker 1: He didn't not know how well he sang.

32:33 Speaker 15: It just made him who.

32:44 Speaker 1: His friends kept working on him to try music out

32:48 Speaker 1: full time, a big debut and raide reviews, great career

32:53 Speaker 1: to climb. Finally they got to him. He would take

32:58 Speaker 1: the Flame. Concert agent in New York agreed to have

33:03 Speaker 1: him sing, and they are a plane ticket's, phone call's

33:09 Speaker 1: money spent to rent the hall. It took most of

33:12 Speaker 1: his savings, but he gladly used them all with music

33:23 Speaker 1: was his life. It was not as lively ovid, and

33:28 Speaker 1: it made him feel so happy and made him feel

33:32 Speaker 1: a sucker. And he sang from his heart, and he

33:36 Speaker 1: sang from his sword. He did not know how well

33:41 Speaker 1: he sang. It just made him whole. The evening came,

33:55 Speaker 1: he took the stage space, set in a smile, and

34:00 Speaker 1: halffield hall of the critics side watching on the isle.

34:05 Speaker 1: But the concert was a bird of him, spatters.

34:08 Speaker 4: Of the flaws.

34:10 Speaker 18: He did not know how well is sad, only heard

34:14 Speaker 18: the flaws.

34:16 Speaker 1: But the critics were concise. All it took four lions.

34:23 Speaker 1: No one could accuse them of being over kay. Mister

34:34 Speaker 1: Martin Tana, baritone of Dayton, Ohio, made his town hall

34:39 Speaker 1: debut last night. Became well prepared, but unfortunately his presentation

34:46 Speaker 1: was not up to contemporary professional standards. His voice lacked

34:51 Speaker 1: the range of tonal color necessary to make it consistently interesting.

35:00 Speaker 1: Time consideration of another endeavor might be in order. He

35:16 Speaker 1: came home to day and was questioned by his friends,

35:21 Speaker 1: smiled and just said nothing. Never signed a can accepted.

35:30 Speaker 1: Very late at night, when the shop was dark and closed,

35:40 Speaker 1: he signed softly to himself as he sorted.

35:45 Speaker 19: Through the clos A music was his life.

35:58 Speaker 1: It was not a lively hill and it made him

36:03 Speaker 1: feede so happy, made him feed so good.

36:08 Speaker 8: And he sang from his heart, sang from him so.

36:16 Speaker 1: He did not know how well he sang. It just

36:21 Speaker 1: made him.

36:23 Speaker 9: Oh, oh, I love that.

36:40 Speaker 11: That is so good. That it's so good. If you're

36:43 Speaker 11: just joining us.

36:44 Speaker 10: Lou Antonucci is here with us live in studio, and

36:47 Speaker 10: we've been talking about his show, You Me and Harry,

36:50 Speaker 10: and uh, oh, that's you know, it's funny to that song.

36:54 Speaker 10: It's like, uh, it's funny but sad at the same time,

36:57 Speaker 10: you know, and does that is that? Obviously that's something

37:00 Speaker 10: that Harry Chapin was really pretty good at.

37:03 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, pulling that off.

37:04 Speaker 1: You know, because most of Harry's songs they deal with emotion,

37:07 Speaker 1: they deal with people, uh in these situations, and which

37:12 Speaker 1: is which is why my wife will never go to

37:14 Speaker 1: the show because she says all she does, really she

37:18 Speaker 1: does his cry at Harry songs. Yeah, but that that

37:23 Speaker 1: was Harry. Although he's got his uh you know, he's

37:26 Speaker 1: got his songs like thirty thousand pounds of bananas and

37:30 Speaker 1: six string orchestra and so you know, during the show

37:33 Speaker 1: there there's the mix. Yeah, you know where we do

37:36 Speaker 1: the upbeat and some funny songs as well.

37:39 Speaker 10: Yeah, well what what It probably depends on the audience, right,

37:44 Speaker 10: I would imagine this various from show to show, but

37:46 Speaker 10: maybe not. Is there is there any particular song that

37:49 Speaker 10: really kind of it gets gets a particularly you know,

37:53 Speaker 10: strong reaction from the crowd or.

37:55 Speaker 1: Where well there's there's a couple certainly Taxi does. Yeah,

38:00 Speaker 1: you know that's uh, everybody just I mean Taxi typically.

38:06 Speaker 1: I know that last show I did in Pittsburgh, everybody

38:09 Speaker 1: was they were singing every word yeah, you know, of

38:13 Speaker 1: every verse with me for the whole song. Uh and

38:16 Speaker 1: uh wow. And I'll do that one in a little bit.

38:18 Speaker 1: One of the one of the songs that I think

38:22 Speaker 1: everybody really gets into because Harry used to always close

38:25 Speaker 1: his show with it, is a song called Circle okay

38:30 Speaker 1: uh And you know, I never thought about how pervasive

38:34 Speaker 1: this song is until he was doing a show up

38:37 Speaker 1: in Laconia. I just my regular plant at Fortello was

38:40 Speaker 1: up in Laconia one night and there was a grandmother

38:43 Speaker 1: there with her young granddaughter who is probably about six,

38:46 Speaker 1: and they came up to me during a break and

38:50 Speaker 1: the grandmother said, we just love your music. And I

38:54 Speaker 1: looked at the little girl. The little girl, and I said,

38:58 Speaker 1: you know, you probably don't know a lot of the songs,

39:00 Speaker 1: right because the songs I do are from the seventies

39:03 Speaker 1: and eighties and certainly Harry Chapin stuff. And the little

39:07 Speaker 1: girl says, oh, no, no, I know Circle. I love

39:10 Speaker 1: I love Circle. And I said really, and she goes, yeah.

39:13 Speaker 1: We sing it every Sunday at Sunday school.

39:16 Speaker 11: Oh wow.

39:17 Speaker 1: So it's just so you know, that's the thing about

39:20 Speaker 1: Harry and his music. It's still you know, multiple generations,

39:24 Speaker 1: it's still you know, very prevalent today. But when we

39:27 Speaker 1: do this song, I think I've got a clip. If

39:30 Speaker 1: you want to play, I can play this clip. I

39:32 Speaker 1: have a circle where what I do is this is

39:34 Speaker 1: where I get the audience engaged with singing along, and

39:39 Speaker 1: I'll bring up individual members and then hopefully go out

39:43 Speaker 1: with everybody singing. Yeah, let's take a listen.

39:45 Speaker 11: To let's check this out.

39:48 Speaker 6: All right, Okay, Now, Johnny, I want you to show

39:52 Speaker 6: him how it's done.

43:44 Speaker 1: I've had people come up to me, I know, the

43:47 Speaker 1: the there's when I play in in Brownsville, PA at

43:52 Speaker 1: the Cultural Center. They are the CEO of the Mont

43:58 Speaker 1: Valley Academy for the Arts which runs that event. Came

44:03 Speaker 1: up to me, and he's a musician. He and I

44:05 Speaker 1: know each other from years ago because I lived in

44:07 Speaker 1: that area. He came up to me after when I'd

44:10 Speaker 1: done the show there and he said, I was never

44:13 Speaker 1: really a Harry Chapin fan, but I am now, no kidding.

44:17 Speaker 1: That's cool, so that makes it all worthwhile.

44:19 Speaker 11: Absolutely, absolutely, you want to do you want to do taxi?

44:23 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, I want to.

44:24 Speaker 11: I want to make sure we don't run out of

44:26 Speaker 11: time because this is because you've played this far as

44:28 Speaker 11: before and it's really good. All right.

44:31 Speaker 1: Just a little note on this one. A lot of

44:33 Speaker 1: people we tell the story in the show, a lot

44:35 Speaker 1: of people wonder is that a true story? And at

44:39 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's really not. Harry never

44:40 Speaker 1: drove a taxi. I never picked up a fair name, sue. Okay. However,

44:46 Speaker 1: he did have a college girlfriend named Kate McIntyre or

44:51 Speaker 1: Claire McIntyre, excuse me, and she left New York and

44:56 Speaker 1: moved to San Francisco to study and they kind of

44:59 Speaker 1: fell up. Part they were dating, you know, quite quite

45:02 Speaker 1: a bit. And really this was his song about what

45:06 Speaker 1: would happen if the two of them would meet up. Okay,

45:08 Speaker 1: so that's really the evolution of this song.

45:10 Speaker 9: All right.

45:17 Speaker 1: It was raining hard, infscibable. Needed one more fair to

45:22 Speaker 1: make my name Lady up the head will wave to

45:26 Speaker 1: flag me down. She god hid the live Now where

45:34 Speaker 1: you're going to? My lady Blue? It's shame you ruin

45:40 Speaker 1: your gown in the rain. She just looked out the window,

45:47 Speaker 1: said sixteen pox side man something a bow. Who was familiar.

46:02 Speaker 1: I could see her. I'd seen her face before. But

46:06 Speaker 1: she said, I'm sure you're mistaken. And she didn't say

46:12 Speaker 1: anything more. Took a while, but she looked in the mirror.

46:20 Speaker 1: Then she glanced at the license for my name. Smile

46:24 Speaker 1: seemed to come to her slowly. It was a sad smile,

46:30 Speaker 1: just the same, and she said, how are you, Harry?

46:37 Speaker 1: I said, how are you soon? Throughly too many miles,

46:44 Speaker 1: two little smiles. I still remember you, h Yes, it

47:05 Speaker 1: was somewhere in a faery tale. I used to take

47:10 Speaker 1: her home in my car. We learned about love in

47:15 Speaker 1: the back of a Dodge. The lesson hadn't gone too far.

47:23 Speaker 1: She was gonna be an actress. I was gonna learn

47:28 Speaker 1: to fly. She took off to find the footlights. I

47:35 Speaker 1: took off to find the guy.

47:44 Speaker 13: Who life got something insired me to drive a princess blind.

47:52 Speaker 1: There's a wild man who isn't hiding in me, illuminating

47:59 Speaker 1: my mine.

48:04 Speaker 13: I have got something inside me, now what my life's about?

49:16 Speaker 14: For.

49:16 Speaker 1: There was not much more for us to talk about.

49:20 Speaker 1: Whatever we had once was gone. So I turned my

49:25 Speaker 1: cab into the driveway, past the gate and the fine

49:30 Speaker 1: trim logs, and she's said we must get together. But

49:43 Speaker 1: twenty dollars for two fifty fair. She said, Harry, keep

49:48 Speaker 1: the change.

49:52 Speaker 18: Well, another man might have been angry, another man might.

49:58 Speaker 1: Have been hurt. Another man never would let her go.

50:05 Speaker 1: I stashed the bill in my shirt.
