laura benanti – intro: harry chapin… (live) lyrics
(spoken)
i just wanna wish a happy birthday to my friend lynn. it’s his birthday today. (audience applaud.) yeah, you can applaud. so, this next song was written by an artist named harry chapin, and- yeah, he’s one of my favorites. (a few audience members applaud.) thank you, smattering of people. (audience laughs.) i think he was really underrated. he had these beautiful storytelling songs, but they were too long to put on the radio. and they’re all like little films, they’re so beautiful. and this particular song is called “mr. tanner.” (audience applauds.) oh, yay! and he was in new york, on a gig, and he opened the paper and he read this review of a gentlemen who came to do a one-off concert and it was not a good review and for someone it stuck a chord with harry chapin and he tracked this man down, mr. tanner. tracked him down, found out about his life and wrote this song for him. and the spoken word part that i do in the middle of the song is the actual word for word review that inspired the song.
