0:27 Speaker 1: great Lou Antonucci, who's been on the show with us

0:30 Speaker 1: a few times. He is here with us now in studio.

0:33 Speaker 1: Hello Lou, Hey, Matt, how you doing good? Good Me

0:36 Speaker 1: and chess Mike. I want to make sure we can

0:38 Speaker 1: hear you. We've got you going into the board because

0:43 Speaker 1: you're gonna play live for us, so really looking forward

0:45 Speaker 1: to that. Also, want to know more about when you

0:50 Speaker 1: So what is it the name of the show with

0:52 Speaker 1: Harry Chapin, the official.

0:53 Speaker 2: Name of it, official name You Me and Harry.

0:56 Speaker 1: You me and Harry, And I think the first time

1:01 Speaker 1: I ever heard you talk about that was way back

1:05 Speaker 1: the first time you were on the show. I think

1:06 Speaker 1: you were. You were kind of in the early stages

1:08 Speaker 1: of developing this.

1:09 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was I think it was three

1:11 Speaker 2: years ago.

1:12 Speaker 1: Wow, you know, where does the time go?

1:15 Speaker 3: Yeah?

1:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we were just again it started at

1:18 Speaker 2: that time. But it's been it's been going very well. Yeah,

1:22 Speaker 2: over the last couple of years. I don't I don't

1:25 Speaker 2: do a lot of shows. My other schedule of you know,

1:28 Speaker 2: playing restaurants and bars throughout New New Hampshire keeps me

1:33 Speaker 2: pretty busy. But I I typically try to do a couple,

1:36 Speaker 2: you know, one or two shows of you, me and

1:37 Speaker 2: Harry in a month.

1:39 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about that more. But I want to

1:42 Speaker 1: play this. So you sent us this promo that will

1:45 Speaker 1: kind of give people a little bit of a better

1:47 Speaker 1: idea of what this is about, and then we'll talk

1:49 Speaker 1: about it. So let's listen to this.

1:57 Speaker 2: Friday.

1:57 Speaker 4: And then the guy who sits from Harry, when one

2:05 Speaker 4: of his fans walked across the floor, had in me note.

2:11 Speaker 2: And that note, of course, was a fans request for

2:14 Speaker 2: Harry's timeless classic taxi. Hello everyone, who Antonucci here? You

2:20 Speaker 2: know Harry Chapin was more than just a songwriter, a filmmaker,

2:23 Speaker 2: off Broadway playwright, and even more importantly, a philanthropist. He

2:28 Speaker 2: was such a masterful storyteller his music became a mirror

2:32 Speaker 2: to our everyday lives, full of joy, sorrow, triumphs, and

2:36 Speaker 2: quiet disappointments. Chapin transformed fleeting emotions into permanent memories through

2:43 Speaker 2: his songs, captivating audiences with melody and meaning.

2:47 Speaker 4: You.

2:47 Speaker 2: Me and Harry presents my interpretation of Harry's storytelling, intertwined

2:53 Speaker 2: with backstories and little known anecdotes. My one man stage

2:56 Speaker 2: performance promises to capture you the audience from the get

3:00 Speaker 2: go and not loosen its grasp until the final note,

3:04 Speaker 2: which is usually a note everyone is singing, Harry will

3:11 Speaker 2: do justice, Harry will make you pray. Not everybody's looking

3:19 Speaker 2: for you stories song, but business. One man in the

3:24 Speaker 2: crowd could have said, I'm sorry, I haven't played that

3:33 Speaker 2: wm is, but something told me to give it a

3:38 Speaker 2: go and overkeen my feet. All of the fan favorites

3:44 Speaker 2: are there, Cats in the Cradle, Taxi, mister Tanner, and

3:47 Speaker 2: so many more. And by the way, the song you're

3:50 Speaker 2: listening to a message from Harry is one of my

3:53 Speaker 2: original tunes, inspired by one of Harry's more passionate fans.

3:58 Speaker 2: It's the only song in the show not written by Harry,

4:01 Speaker 2: and I can't wait to play it for you in person,

4:04 Speaker 2: along with Harry's many story songs. So I hope to

4:07 Speaker 2: see you down the road someday soon when it's just you,

4:11 Speaker 2: me and Harry. You've been twenty on. He is science words,

4:19 Speaker 2: but I remember ever Wane.

4:25 Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Lou, I think anyone who listens to that

4:28 Speaker 1: can tell. Obviously, this is a project that you're very

4:30 Speaker 1: passionate about, and I'm curious, so what does And we've

4:35 Speaker 1: talked about all this before, obviously, but for newer listeners

4:38 Speaker 1: who don't know, or maybe are not familiar with you,

4:40 Speaker 1: what is it about Harry Chapin that you love so much?

4:42 Speaker 1: And obviously he's a great inspiration to you musically, But

4:45 Speaker 1: what is it about him?

4:46 Speaker 4: Well?

4:46 Speaker 2: You know, I I guess one of the reasons that

4:51 Speaker 2: I'm so passionate about it because I grew up on him,

4:55 Speaker 2: as I grew up on Neil Young and James Taylor

4:58 Speaker 2: and Croachey. But the thing about Harry was he was

5:02 Speaker 2: such a personable entertainer, his shows were a lot less

5:11 Speaker 2: about singing and a lot more about connecting with the audience.

5:17 Speaker 2: And it's it's interesting because as I do, as I

5:21 Speaker 2: do these shows, i will after we get through with

5:26 Speaker 2: the sound check and everything, and the doors open and

5:29 Speaker 2: the people are coming in, I'll go around and I'll

5:31 Speaker 2: introduce myself to members of the audience. And the really

5:36 Speaker 2: interesting thing is that each member of the audience has

5:39 Speaker 2: a Harry story, you know, Like I went to see

5:43 Speaker 2: Harry in nineteen seventy nine, and you know, it was

5:46 Speaker 2: my anniversary, and I took my wife and and they

5:49 Speaker 2: go back and they remember all this and his you know,

5:52 Speaker 2: his his stories are so real, you know, because they're

5:56 Speaker 2: there are a lot of a lot of them are

5:58 Speaker 2: about real people and real things, things that have happened.

6:01 Speaker 2: And so I think that's the that's the thing that

6:03 Speaker 2: I'm most interested in Harry and his music. Why am

6:08 Speaker 2: why I'm so interested and passionate about it because and

6:11 Speaker 2: I've noticed that when I write, you know, I kind

6:16 Speaker 2: of lean that way.

6:17 Speaker 1: Really much much more.

6:19 Speaker 2: Intimate songs that make have some kind of connection, there's

6:23 Speaker 2: some kind of personal relationship going on or something like that.

6:28 Speaker 2: So I think that's it. That's in a nutshell, this.

6:31 Speaker 1: Is safe to assume. I mean, you see your kind

6:33 Speaker 1: of your all time favorite artists in terms of influence.

6:38 Speaker 2: And I think in terms of influence on my music. Yes,

6:45 Speaker 2: I think I have a lot of all time favorite artists,

6:49 Speaker 2: you know, the Beatles, Crosby, Steells, Nash, sure to name

6:53 Speaker 2: a few, but but I think as far as someone

6:57 Speaker 2: that has an impact on what I do musically, yeah, definitely,

7:01 Speaker 2: without doubt.

7:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, we also have some audio of some audience reactions

7:05 Speaker 1: to the show, and we should listen to this too

7:07 Speaker 1: because this will kind of give it an idea too

7:11 Speaker 1: to people of what to expect. And and of course

7:14 Speaker 1: if you are just joining us, Lou Antonucci is here

7:16 Speaker 1: with us in studio and he's going to play for

7:19 Speaker 1: us later too, so that'll also give you an idea obviously.

7:21 Speaker 1: But and we always enjoy that when Luke Lou comes

7:23 Speaker 1: in and plays this this clip.

7:25 Speaker 2: By the way, the audio we did the show in Pittsburgh,

7:28 Speaker 2: and the videographer that was doing video of the show

7:32 Speaker 2: would grab people as they were leaving the show.

7:34 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, just say hey, what did you think? Yeah,

7:37 Speaker 1: so these are all very spontaneous just right after the show. Yeah, yeah,

7:40 Speaker 1: let's let's give this a listen here. This performance tonight

7:44 Speaker 1: was absolutely amazing. It was way way.

7:51 Speaker 5: Better than what I even expected, and what I expected

7:54 Speaker 5: was great.

7:56 Speaker 6: Really liked it and we're definitely coming back again.

8:00 Speaker 1: Who is totally amazing. Had so much fun tonight.

8:05 Speaker 4: This this is what this is as good as it gets.

8:09 Speaker 3: Man, Lou show is just great.

8:11 Speaker 2: What a tribute to Harry and all his great music.

8:14 Speaker 1: And it was just a wonderful, wonderful show. Thank you, Lou, Lou,

8:45 Speaker 2: in a town called Gibsonia, PA. And the next the

8:49 Speaker 2: last gentleman before the two women at the end, Johnny Vento.

8:53 Speaker 2: He runs the place and he was kind enough to

8:56 Speaker 2: give his little impression of the show as well. He's

9:00 Speaker 2: pretty well known musician in the Pittsburgh area. Okay, and

9:03 Speaker 2: and runs that great listening room. And matter of fact,

9:06 Speaker 2: I'm going back there in August for my third straight

9:10 Speaker 2: You Me and Harry show. Oh no kidding at his venue.

9:13 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, very cool.

9:14 Speaker 2: And you might be able to tell from a few

9:16 Speaker 2: of the few of the audience members. It's it's one

9:19 Speaker 2: of those you know, you can bring your own bottle place.

9:22 Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, but a lot of fun.

9:25 Speaker 1: Yeah, great place. Oh that's excellent. By the way, So

9:28 Speaker 1: there's somebody in the chat room on YouTube who uh.

9:33 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say who this who it is

9:35 Speaker 1: yet because this person had emailed me and wanted to

9:39 Speaker 1: call in and surprise you, and it relates to the show.

9:42 Speaker 1: It relates to you, Me and Harry. So I'm not

9:44 Speaker 1: gonna say who it is because I don't want to

9:46 Speaker 1: ruin the surprise if they call in. So hopefully they're

9:48 Speaker 1: they're still listening, but they are in the chat room,

9:50 Speaker 1: so we'll see. If they don't call by the end

9:52 Speaker 1: of the show, I'll go ahead and say who it is,

9:54 Speaker 1: but I don't want to wreck the surprise because I

9:56 Speaker 1: know they wanted to surprise you. But it's it's someone

9:58 Speaker 1: you know.

10:00 Speaker 2: Long as it's not Harry's lawyer calling me about performance.

10:03 Speaker 4: Right.

10:06 Speaker 1: Although this may or may not be a hint, but

10:08 Speaker 1: this individual posted in the chat room hashtag went in

10:11 Speaker 1: doubt do something. I don't know if that gives it

10:13 Speaker 1: away or not.

10:15 Speaker 3: I think it might.

10:16 Speaker 1: You think it might.

10:17 Speaker 2: I think it might. But we'll see.

10:18 Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, we'll see if they call. Now, how

12:26 Speaker 1: Excellent. Yeah, no, you stay very busy. Oh, by the way,

12:29 Speaker 1: the individual I was talking about, they're asking the phone number.

12:31 Speaker 1: The studio line is six O three two five oh

12:34 Speaker 1: six oh seven. Six O three two five oh six

12:37 Speaker 1: oh seven. So I'll keep an eye on the phone

12:38 Speaker 1: line if you want to uh, if you want to

12:41 Speaker 1: join us. Oh, Miriam vanishes in there too, by the way,

12:44 Speaker 1: I think she's a fan. Excellent, excellent, great. Now the

12:49 Speaker 1: has the show? Has the show changed as you've gone

12:51 Speaker 1: about doing these performances? Does it change like do you

12:54 Speaker 1: change the set list or do you have something kind

12:56 Speaker 1: of locked in or do you kind of feel the

12:58 Speaker 1: crowd or.

12:59 Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a good question. What I'll typically do

13:02 Speaker 2: when I'm I do have an overall set list that

13:06 Speaker 2: if I played that whole set list of Chapin tunes,

13:09 Speaker 2: it would probably take up about three hours. Yeah, but

13:12 Speaker 2: with all the backstories that I do, I really only

13:15 Speaker 2: use about an hour and a half worth of actual

13:18 Speaker 2: song music, Okay. And so what I'll do is before

13:21 Speaker 2: the show, I'll walk around, I'll talk to people in

13:24 Speaker 2: the audience. I'll find you know, what's your favorite Chapin tune?

13:28 Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?

13:29 Speaker 2: And if it's not in that particular set list, I'll

13:33 Speaker 2: replace something with that song. Oh okay, I did that

13:36 Speaker 2: one night. I know there's a song by song by

13:38 Speaker 2: Harry that that's called Cory's Coming, which is like a

13:44 Speaker 2: huge favorite of Chapin fans. Oh okay, and I typically

13:48 Speaker 2: do it in most of my shows, and I didn't

13:51 Speaker 2: have it in this particular set list. And as I'm

13:54 Speaker 2: talking to the to the folks, I talked to one

13:56 Speaker 2: gentleman and he says, are you going to do Corey's

14:00 Speaker 2: Coming tonight? And I said, well, I didn't have it

14:03 Speaker 2: in the set list, but if you'd like to hear it.

14:06 Speaker 2: And before I could finish, she said, I named my

14:10 Speaker 2: daughter after as I named my daughter Corey, Oh wow,

14:14 Speaker 2: after Harry's songs Corey's Coming. So I said, we know what,

14:18 Speaker 2: I've got to do it. Yeah, So I did it,

14:21 Speaker 2: and about a two thirds of the way now I

14:23 Speaker 2: hadn't played it for a few days. Two thirds of

14:25 Speaker 2: the way through the song, I forgot the third verse.

14:29 Speaker 2: Oh no, you know now Harry would do that sometimes.

14:33 Speaker 2: So but what's interesting is there's so many Chapin fans

14:38 Speaker 2: in the audience. After trying for twenty seconds of this

14:43 Speaker 2: song playing through some instrumental I finally said, folks, I

14:47 Speaker 2: forgot the verse. Does anybody know this verse? And finally

14:52 Speaker 2: there was someone in the audience that yelled out the

14:55 Speaker 2: first couple of lines of the verse. I had it,

14:57 Speaker 2: and then I went through it, and everybody you know,

14:59 Speaker 2: went along with it. But yeah, yeah, so I do

15:03 Speaker 2: I do mix it up. It generally, it's it's the same.

15:07 Speaker 2: There's there's some songs that are always there. Yeah, but

15:10 Speaker 2: then there are others that I'll interchange.

15:12 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So we have somebody on the line, Hello,

15:16 Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Hello. Oh, I guess they can't

15:24 Speaker 1: hear me. Hello, all right, I guess they hung up.

15:27 Speaker 1: I I know who it is, but they they called,

15:30 Speaker 1: and then I don't know, they didn't stay on the line.

15:33 Speaker 1: But that's interesting that so when you're going around and

15:36 Speaker 1: you're talking to everybody before the show, so in a sense,

15:39 Speaker 1: they're actually helping shape the show. Yeah, yeah, and they

15:42 Speaker 1: don't and they don't even know. Because it's funny because

15:44 Speaker 1: as you're going around and you're introducing yourself to people

15:47 Speaker 1: and asking them questions like what's your favorite Harry Chapin

15:49 Speaker 1: song and things like that, it probably never even occurs

15:52 Speaker 1: to them that they're influencing what the show is going

15:55 Speaker 1: to be that night to you know, to a small extent,

15:57 Speaker 1: But it does, and that's pretty cool.

16:00 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well there, Like I said, there's a certain certain

16:03 Speaker 2: number of songs that these fans will expect. Yeah, if

16:08 Speaker 2: you're doing a Harry Chapin show and it's not you know,

16:12 Speaker 2: the typical songs always are Cats in the Cradle and Taxi. Yeah,

16:16 Speaker 2: but songs like Cory's Coming or Mister Tanner, you know,

16:20 Speaker 2: songs like that were kind of the general audience out

16:24 Speaker 2: there may not be familiar with, unless sure they would

16:26 Speaker 2: go to Harry Chapin concerts. Yeah, but these folks, the

16:30 Speaker 2: ones that come to this show, they know them.

16:33 Speaker 3: Yeah.

16:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's it. It makes it, It makes it great.

16:36 Speaker 2: It makes a lot of fun.

16:37 Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Oh. I was trying to answer the

16:39 Speaker 1: phone again, but uh, there's nobody there. God bless them

16:44 Speaker 1: for trying. But I don't know. It's like they get impatient,

16:47 Speaker 1: I guess, and hang up. Yeah. No, that's all right.

16:50 Speaker 1: We're gonna try this one more time because the phone's ran. Hello,

16:53 Speaker 1: You're on the air.

16:56 Speaker 6: Hello, Hello, Matt.

16:59 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, welcome. You're on the air.

17:03 Speaker 6: Well, thank you, Hey, Lou, how you doing?

17:06 Speaker 3: Hi? Len?

17:07 Speaker 2: How are you?

17:09 Speaker 6: How do you know it's me?

17:12 Speaker 2: I know I know your voice. Plus Matt gave me

17:15 Speaker 2: a little hint with the hashtag when indw do something.

17:19 Speaker 6: Ah, yes, I didn't mean to be so obvious.

17:23 Speaker 1: So who are you Lenn? No, I was asking, who

17:29 Speaker 1: are you? Lenin? But turn down your radio? Please? Are

17:31 Speaker 1: your computer? We're getting uh, we're hearing everything twice.

17:38 Speaker 6: Ah, I'm sorry about that. I'm upstairs at home, not

17:41 Speaker 6: in the studio, so I'm probably Let me let me

17:44 Speaker 6: see what I can do about killing some sound? Here?

17:47 Speaker 6: Is any better?

17:48 Speaker 1: Yeah? Sounds fine? Sounds fine? So who are you, Lend?

17:51 Speaker 3: How do you?

17:51 Speaker 1: How do you know? Lou?

17:54 Speaker 6: Well? Lou and I got acquainted because of the Harry

17:58 Speaker 6: Chapin based community. I was a friend of Harry's and

18:05 Speaker 6: I host a monthly uh podcast, I guess you could

18:10 Speaker 6: call it called Cake and Chat Live, which is global. Oh.

18:14 Speaker 6: We joined in and lets us with his talents, and

18:18 Speaker 6: oh we've been uh, we've become great friends over time.

18:23 Speaker 6: And I think what Lou is doing with you, me

18:27 Speaker 6: and Harry is just not only a phenomenal show and tribute,

18:31 Speaker 6: but it's extremely unique in what goes on with respect

18:38 Speaker 6: to Harry's music, memory and his humanitarian legacy.

18:46 Speaker 1: Oh well, that's that's quite an endorsements in the mouth.

18:54 Speaker 6: Well, no, I really don't have to. I really don't

18:57 Speaker 6: have to promote Lou all that much. He's a very

18:59 Speaker 6: good shameless self promotion.

19:03 Speaker 1: Oh my, Well, that's that's what it takes, though, Right,

19:07 Speaker 1: that's important. You know, nobody's gonna do it for you. You

19:09 Speaker 1: got to get out there and do it. So that's

19:11 Speaker 1: what it takes.

19:12 Speaker 6: Absolutely. I just I just figured i'd give Lou a

19:16 Speaker 6: little bit of a surprise from down here in Jue

19:19 Speaker 6: ofs Thattre's Argentina and Lou I am streaming this on

19:23 Speaker 6: on the community page, so everybody's getting it all over

19:26 Speaker 6: the world.

19:38 Speaker 6: Else, nothing really, just Lou break a leg and we

19:44 Speaker 6: appreciate what you're doing for for Harry, for the community,

19:47 Speaker 6: and gosh, you know, look, I knew Harry for several

19:53 Speaker 6: years before his untimely death, and I was pretty close

19:57 Speaker 6: with him. One thing that Lou's show has that no

20:01 Speaker 6: other show has. Harry had this incredible ability and Lou

20:06 Speaker 6: kind of described it. But whether you were in an

20:10 Speaker 6: intimate setting with Harry or a thirty five thousand seat

20:14 Speaker 6: arena stadium, amphitheater, you felt like you were sitting in

20:20 Speaker 6: your living room with him or in his living room.

20:24 Speaker 6: And that's the uniqueness of Lou's show.

20:29 Speaker 3: Wow.

20:29 Speaker 6: He doesn't try to be Harry, but you feel it. Yeah,

20:34 Speaker 6: you're just taken back. And it's become generational because we

20:40 Speaker 6: now have three generations of people truly enjoying Harry's stories

20:48 Speaker 6: and music and LOUI, you're just doing a great thing man.

22:01 Speaker 2: friend of Harry's and yeah, and he was a DJ

22:04 Speaker 2: for many years. Oh okay, and that's how he met Harry. Okay,

22:08 Speaker 2: when he was DJ in and Harry was doing his

22:11 Speaker 2: DJ stops like in the old days when we were promoting. Yeah,

22:15 Speaker 2: and they became friends. And he runs this this podcast

22:19 Speaker 2: and this group on Facebook. And he does have a

22:24 Speaker 2: couple thousand members all over the world.

22:26 Speaker 1: Oh fantastic.

22:27 Speaker 2: So it's it's a lot of fun.

22:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's excellent. That's excellent. Well, do you want to

22:31 Speaker 1: play something for us?

22:32 Speaker 2: Sure? Sure, one of the songs I wanted to do

22:36 Speaker 2: from the show for you. As a matter of fact,

22:39 Speaker 2: I think we have a little clip on this one too.

22:43 Speaker 2: Let's see here Martin Tuberty. Oh yeah, yeah, I'll set

22:49 Speaker 2: it up a little bit, and then that little clip

22:50 Speaker 2: can set it up even further. Yeah. You know, like

22:55 Speaker 2: we've talked about, there's a lot of interaction during the show.

22:59 Speaker 2: And when I go to introduce Harry's song Mister Tanner,

23:03 Speaker 2: which is a song about a dry cleaner who also

23:08 Speaker 2: sings opera on the side. His name is Martin Tuberty

23:13 Speaker 2: and it's a Harry Chapin fan favorite. If you've been

23:19 Speaker 2: to Harry Chapin concerts, you know this song. And I

23:24 Speaker 2: was doing a show in Vermont and I typically will

23:27 Speaker 2: be to start this song. I'll say, anybody in the

23:31 Speaker 2: audience know who Martin Tuberty is, and someone will raised

23:35 Speaker 2: their hand or maybe not, maybe nobody does. And this

23:39 Speaker 2: gentleman in the middle of the audience raises his hand.

23:41 Speaker 2: He's like, oh, excited, and I figure he's going to say, yeah,

23:46 Speaker 2: Martin Tuberty is really mister Tanner. So I call on

23:50 Speaker 2: him and it turns out, well, let's play the clip

23:56 Speaker 2: and you will see what happens, right, cool, let's play

23:58 Speaker 2: the clip by the name of Martin. Does that ring

24:01 Speaker 2: a bell for anybody out? Okay, he's our next door neighbor.

24:07 Speaker 9: Really, it lives across the street from us, the real,

24:09 Speaker 9: the real Martin Skruberty.

24:10 Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it at the break.

24:12 Speaker 2: But I wish I knew I would have him come

24:14 Speaker 2: do his part, So we're gonna do it without Martin. Ah,

24:20 Speaker 2: but I can't believe that you're serious.

24:24 Speaker 9: There's a whole story behind it. But yeah, I figured

24:26 Speaker 9: it out. I asked him, he confirmed it. He did

24:28 Speaker 9: not know that it was him until I told him

24:32 Speaker 9: about it, and then ultimately he got in touch with

24:35 Speaker 9: Tom and they've actually.

24:36 Speaker 2: They've used him in a couple of shows, used him

24:38 Speaker 2: in some shows. Can you call him? You think he

24:41 Speaker 2: could come over and do it with us?

24:42 Speaker 9: Be a three and a half hour drive for him?

24:44 Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, you didn't drive three and a

24:47 Speaker 2: half hours too. We did. But the other day, Oh okay,

24:52 Speaker 2: thank you for being here so much. Okay, anyway, sorry,

24:56 Speaker 2: folks to a little side conversation. So you you do

25:00 Speaker 2: know Martinbery, Martin Martin Herberty. At the time, the way

25:04 Speaker 2: I understand it. Lived in western Connecticut, and he had

25:09 Speaker 2: gone twice to New York City once in nineteen seventy

25:12 Speaker 2: one nineteen seventy two. He was a dry cleaner who

25:17 Speaker 2: on the side sang opera, loved opera, and so he

25:21 Speaker 2: went in for his big time shot in New York

25:26 Speaker 2: and both times he got panned rather unceremoniously by the critics.

25:33 Speaker 2: And so Harry actually read the story and he saw

25:37 Speaker 2: it twice in the New York Times. And Harry, you

25:42 Speaker 2: changed the name from mister Turberty to mister Tanner. It

25:47 Speaker 2: changed the city from western Connecticut to Dayton, Ohio, and

25:52 Speaker 2: you get probably one of his fans all time favorites,

26:00 Speaker 2: thing called mister Tanner.

26:02 Speaker 1: That's crazy.

26:02 Speaker 5: Though.

26:02 Speaker 1: There was somebody there wow who just wow.

26:05 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was It was interesting because Martin lives

26:08 Speaker 2: in in Connecticut still does. His show was up in Vermont,

26:12 Speaker 2: and here this gentleman was on vacation with his wife

26:16 Speaker 2: up in Vermont because he lives down in Connecticut and

26:20 Speaker 2: saw the promotion for the show and chap and fans,

26:23 Speaker 2: so he had to come to the show.

26:25 Speaker 6: Wow.

26:25 Speaker 2: So it was really pretty interesting. That's cool anyway, So

26:30 Speaker 2: let me do a little bit, mister Tanner. So when Harry,

26:32 Speaker 2: when Harry does mister Tanner, his bass player, Big John Wallace,

26:37 Speaker 2: would sing this operatic part in the background.

26:40 Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, oh wow.

26:42 Speaker 2: And so when I do it, obviously there's no opera

26:45 Speaker 2: singer to sing along with me. But so that part's

26:48 Speaker 2: not in here, but the rest of the song is there. Okay,

26:51 Speaker 2: So mister Tanner all right.

27:02 Speaker 3: Channel was cleaner.

27:04 Speaker 2: From the town in the Midwest, and of all the

27:07 Speaker 2: clean and shots around, it.

27:09 Speaker 3: Made his the best.

27:11 Speaker 2: But he also was a baritone. Side while hanging clothes,

27:16 Speaker 2: he practiced scales, while pressing tales, sang at local shows.

27:22 Speaker 2: His friends and neighbors praised the voice going out from

27:26 Speaker 2: his throat, said that he should he use his gift

27:30 Speaker 2: instead of cleaning coats. The music was his life, It

27:40 Speaker 2: was not his livelihood. It had made him feel so happy,

27:46 Speaker 2: made him feel so good, and he sang from his heart,

27:51 Speaker 2: and he sang from his soul. He did not know

27:56 Speaker 2: how well he sang. It just made him who. His

28:09 Speaker 2: friends kept working on him to try music out full time,

28:14 Speaker 2: a big debut and raid reviews, great career to climb.

28:19 Speaker 2: Finally they got to him he would take the flame.

28:24 Speaker 2: A concert agent in New York agreed to have him sing,

28:30 Speaker 2: and they are up plane, ticket's phone calls. Money is

28:34 Speaker 2: spent to rent the hall. It took most of his savings,

28:39 Speaker 2: but he gladly used them. All with music was his life.

28:50 Speaker 2: It was not desively head and it made him feel

28:54 Speaker 2: so happy and made him feel the sucker. And he

28:58 Speaker 2: sang from his heart, and he sang from his sword.

29:04 Speaker 2: He did not know how well he said. It just

29:08 Speaker 2: made him whole. The evening came. He took the stage

29:22 Speaker 2: space set in a smile, and the Halffield haul. The

29:26 Speaker 2: critics side watching on the aisle, But the concert was

29:31 Speaker 2: a bird of him in spite of resolve the flause.

29:35 Speaker 2: He did not know how well he sang, only heard

29:39 Speaker 2: the flaws. But the critics were concise.

29:45 Speaker 3: All it took four lions.

29:47 Speaker 2: No one could accuse them of being over kind. Mister Martin,

30:01 Speaker 2: baritone of Dayton, Ohio, made his town hall debut last night.

30:06 Speaker 2: He became well prepared, but unfortunately his presentation was not

30:11 Speaker 2: up to contemporary professional standards. His voice lacked the range

30:16 Speaker 2: of tonal color necessary to make it consistently interesting. Full

30:25 Speaker 2: time consideration of another endeavor might be in order. He

30:41 Speaker 2: came home to Dayton and was questioned by his friends,

30:46 Speaker 2: smiled and just said nothing, never signicated.

30:53 Speaker 3: Accept it.

30:55 Speaker 2: Very late at night, when the shop was dark and clothed,

31:05 Speaker 2: he sang softly to himself as he sorted through the

31:12 Speaker 2: clos to music was his life, it was not his livelihood,

31:26 Speaker 2: and it made him feel so happy, made him feel

31:32 Speaker 2: so good. And he signed from his heart, sang from

31:39 Speaker 2: his soul. He did not know how well he sang.

31:45 Speaker 2: It just made him whole.

32:04 Speaker 3: Oh I love that. That is so good. That was

32:06 Speaker 3: awesome that.

32:07 Speaker 1: It's so good. If you're just joining us. Lou Antonucci

32:10 Speaker 1: is here with us alive in studio and we've been

32:12 Speaker 1: talking about his show You Me and Harry, and uhh

32:16 Speaker 1: that's you know, it's funny to that song. It's like, uh,

32:20 Speaker 1: it's funny but sad at the same time, you know,

32:22 Speaker 1: And is that is that? Obviously that's something that Harry

32:25 Speaker 1: Chapin was really pretty good at. Yeah, you know, pulling

32:28 Speaker 1: that off.

32:29 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because most of Harry's songs, they deal

32:31 Speaker 2: with emotion, they deal with people, uh in these situations,

32:35 Speaker 2: and which is which is why my wife will never

32:39 Speaker 2: go to the show because she says all she does

32:42 Speaker 2: really she does his cry at Harry Chain song.

32:46 Speaker 4: Wow.

32:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that that was Harry.

32:49 Speaker 2: Although he's got his uh you know, he's got his

32:52 Speaker 2: songs like thirty thousand pounds of bananas, uh and six

32:55 Speaker 2: string orchestra and so you know during the show there

32:58 Speaker 2: there's the mix. Yeah, you know where we do the

33:01 Speaker 2: upbeat and some funny songs as well.

33:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, well what what It probably depends on the audience, right,

33:09 Speaker 1: I would imagine this various from show to show, but

33:11 Speaker 1: maybe not is is there is there any particular song

33:13 Speaker 1: that really kind of it gets gets a particularly you know,

33:17 Speaker 1: strong reaction from the crowd or where.

33:20 Speaker 2: Well, there's there's a couple certainly Taxi does. Yeah, you

33:25 Speaker 2: know that's uh, everybody just I mean Taxi typically. I

33:31 Speaker 2: know that last show I did in Pittsburgh, everybody was

33:34 Speaker 2: they were singing every word, yeah, you know, of every

33:38 Speaker 2: verse with me for the whole song.

33:40 Speaker 3: Uh and uh.

33:41 Speaker 2: And I'll do that one in a little bit. One

33:43 Speaker 2: of the one of the songs that I think everybody

33:47 Speaker 2: really gets into because Harry used to always close his

33:50 Speaker 2: show with it, is a song called Circle Okay, uh

33:55 Speaker 2: and you know, I never thought about how pervasive this

33:59 Speaker 2: song is until he's doing a show up in Laconia.

34:03 Speaker 2: I just my regular planet at Fortello was up in

34:05 Speaker 2: Laconia one night and there was a grandmother there with

34:08 Speaker 2: her young granddaughter who is probably about six, and they

34:12 Speaker 2: came up to me during a break and the grandmother said,

34:16 Speaker 2: we just love your music. And I looked at the

34:20 Speaker 2: little girl, the little girl, and I said, you know,

34:23 Speaker 2: you probably don't know a lot of these songs, right,

34:25 Speaker 2: because the songs I do are from the seventies and

34:28 Speaker 2: eighties and certainly Harry Chapin stuff. And the little girl says, oh, no, no,

34:33 Speaker 2: I know Circle. I love I love Circle. And I

34:36 Speaker 2: said really, and she goes, yeah, we sing it every

34:39 Speaker 2: Sunday at Sunday School.

34:41 Speaker 1: Oh wow.

34:42 Speaker 2: So it's just so, you know, that's the thing about

34:44 Speaker 2: Harry and his music. It's still you know, multiple generations,

34:49 Speaker 2: it's still you know, very prevalent today. But when we

34:52 Speaker 2: do this song, I think I've got a clip if

34:54 Speaker 2: you want to play, I can play this clip. I

34:57 Speaker 2: have a circle where what I do is I this

34:59 Speaker 2: is where I get the audience engaged with singing along,

35:04 Speaker 2: and I'll bring up individual members and then hopefully go

35:07 Speaker 2: out with everybody singing.

35:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take a listen, let's check this out.

39:06 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a that's a great Yeah, that's a

39:09 Speaker 1: great way to do it.

39:09 Speaker 2: I've had people come up to me, I know, the

39:11 Speaker 2: the when I play in in Brownsville, PA at the

39:18 Speaker 2: Cultural Center there. The CEO of the Mont Valley Academy

39:24 Speaker 2: for the Arts, which runs that event, came up to me,

39:29 Speaker 2: and he's a musician. He and I know each other

39:31 Speaker 2: from years ago because I lived in that area. He

39:33 Speaker 2: came up to me after when I'd done the show

39:36 Speaker 2: there and he said, I was never really a Harry

39:39 Speaker 2: Chapin fan.

39:40 Speaker 3: But I am now, No kidding.

39:42 Speaker 2: That's cool, so that makes it all worthwhile.

39:44 Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, you want to do uh, you want to

39:47 Speaker 1: do taxi? Yeah?

39:48 Speaker 2: Sure, I want to.

39:49 Speaker 1: I want to make sure we don't run out of

39:51 Speaker 1: time because this is because you've played this far as

39:52 Speaker 1: before and it's really good.

39:56 Speaker 2: Just a little note on this one. A lot of

39:57 Speaker 2: people we tell the story in the show, a lot

40:00 Speaker 2: of people wonder is that a true story? And at

40:03 Speaker 2: the end of the day, it's really not. Harry never

40:05 Speaker 2: drove a taxi. I never picked up a fair name sue. Okay. However,

40:11 Speaker 2: he did have a college girlfriend named Kate McIntyre or

40:16 Speaker 2: Claire McIntyre, excuse me. And she left New York and

40:21 Speaker 2: moved to San Francisco to study, and they kind of

40:24 Speaker 2: fell apart. They were dating, you know, quite quite a bit.

40:28 Speaker 2: And really this was his song about what would happen

40:31 Speaker 2: if the two of them would meet up. So that's

40:34 Speaker 2: really the evolution.

40:35 Speaker 3: Of this song.

40:42 Speaker 2: It was raining hard in for school. Needed one more

40:46 Speaker 2: fair to make my name. Lady up ahead, will wave

40:51 Speaker 2: to flag me down?

40:53 Speaker 3: She got him.

40:59 Speaker 2: Now where you go in to my lady Blue? It's

41:03 Speaker 2: shame you ruin your gown in the rain. She just

41:10 Speaker 2: looked out the window, said sixteen park side n something

41:25 Speaker 2: about who was familiar. I could swear I'd seen her

41:29 Speaker 2: face before. But she said, I'm sure you're mistaken, And

41:35 Speaker 2: she didn't say anything more. Took a while, but she

41:42 Speaker 2: looked in the mirror. Then she glanced at the license

41:47 Speaker 2: for my name. Smile seemed to come to her slowly.

41:52 Speaker 2: It was a sad smile, just the same, and she said,

42:00 Speaker 2: how are you, Harry? I said, how are you? Soon?

42:06 Speaker 2: Through the too many miles two little smiles.

42:10 Speaker 3: I still remember you.

42:29 Speaker 2: Yes, it was somewhere in a faery tale. I used

42:34 Speaker 2: to take her home in my car. We learned a

42:39 Speaker 2: bottle all in the back of the dodge. The lesson

42:43 Speaker 2: hadn't gone too far. She was going to be an actress.
