DS Marie always thanks me for introducing her to poetry and we've enjoyed that throughout the years but...
Marie introduced me to Harry Chapin's music about 40 years ago....and I fell in love.
While I loved Taxi, W.O.L.D., and all the others, my favourite has always been Mr. Tanner.
So when I got this email from Marie the other day:
Remember the song Mr. Tanner by Harry Chapin. Well, it was based on an actual review that he read about a singer from Dayton, Ohio named Martin Tubridy. If you go on youtube and type his name in it will bring you to a concert that the surviving Chapin band was putting on and he sang the Big John Wallace part of the song.
I did Google it and you can hear it here.
If you're a fan, I hope you'll enjoy it. If you have never heard Harry sing it, you can hear it here.
