1
00:00:33,826 --> 00:00:36,452
Finally in the news tonight, the music world
2
00:00:36,662 --> 00:00:39,706
mourns the death of folk music icon Irving Steinbloom
3
00:00:39,915 --> 00:00:42,000
an instrumental figure in guiding folk music
4
00:00:42,209 --> 00:00:44,460
from its humble beginnings in the 1950s
5
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,755
to its zenith in popularity in the 1960s.
6
00:00:47,965 --> 00:00:49,465
Steinbloom managed and directed the careers
7
00:00:49,675 --> 00:00:51,676
of such million-selling folk groups as
8
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:53,302
The Main Street Singers,
9
00:00:53,512 --> 00:00:54,595
The Folksmen,
10
00:00:54,805 --> 00:00:57,932
and the sweethearts of the folk
music scene, Mitch and Mickey.
11
00:00:58,142 --> 00:01:00,226
Their music was the voice of a generation.
12
00:01:00,436 --> 00:01:02,478
It carried a message of peace and freedom
13
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:05,398
and young people got behind the message in a big way.
14
00:01:05,607 --> 00:01:08,943
Steinbloom is survived
by his wife and three children.
15
00:01:16,452 --> 00:01:18,578
It's up to you. What do you say, Mitch?
16
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:20,163
Are you gonna be with us?
17
00:01:20,372 --> 00:01:21,581
Yeah?
18
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:24,375
Yes, we do. We have all three Folksmen.
19
00:01:24,585 --> 00:01:27,378
Of course, Alan, of course. He was the first to--
20
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,589
We can't imagine doing this without you.
21
00:01:29,798 --> 00:01:30,965
It's as simple as that.
22
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:32,884
We cannot conceive of doing this--
23
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:34,886
One second. Your messages.
24
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:37,555
It really seemed that the only fitting tribute
25
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:40,016
to this fantastic human being--
26
00:01:40,225 --> 00:01:44,562
And I have to tell you, my dad
was really an amazing character.
27
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:47,899
And really the only fitting
tribute we could come up with
28
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:50,109
was a memorial to my dad
29
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,738
that would be a concert that would be performed
30
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:56,074
by all of the fabulous groups
31
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:59,327
and people that he used to represent.
32
00:01:59,495 --> 00:02:01,662
It's gonna be very fast. It's gonna be in two weeks.
33
00:02:01,872 --> 00:02:04,040
And it had to be in Town Hall
34
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:06,751
because where else could we have such an event?
35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,252
It had to be Town Hall.
36
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:10,588
And they had a hole in the schedule.
37
00:02:10,798 --> 00:02:13,633
But it's a very sudden hole
38
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:16,302
and we've got two weeks to put together this
39
00:02:16,512 --> 00:02:18,554
really very complicated event.
40
00:02:18,764 --> 00:02:20,848
But, uh, I'm...
41
00:02:21,058 --> 00:02:23,226
I'm pretty organized myself.
42
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:26,104
Really, I've always been a very organized person.
43
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:30,024
When I was 12, I formed the J.C.P.L.,
44
00:02:30,234 --> 00:02:32,610
the Jewish Children's Polo League.
45
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:35,113
We rode Shetland ponies instead of horses.
46
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:37,323
It was funny, my mom used to say:
47
00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:38,908
"Well, if he has to fall,
48
00:02:39,118 --> 00:02:40,993
he shouldn't fall from so very high."
49
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:44,288
She was very protective.
You could say overly protective.
50
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:47,792
I just like to think she cared
about me. Which she did, a lot.
51
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:50,211
And I was a member of the chess team.
52
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:52,630
And whenever we had chess tournaments,
53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,340
I had to wear a protective helmet.
54
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:56,175
I had to wear a football helmet.
55
00:02:56,385 --> 00:02:58,219
Now, who knows what she was thinking?
56
00:02:58,428 --> 00:03:00,179
Maybe she thought we might have fallen
57
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:03,224
and impaled our heads on
a pointy bishop or something,
58
00:03:03,433 --> 00:03:04,976
I don't know.

Hello, Mr. Stranger Man
71
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,511
- Who is that?
- Who are any of us?
72
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:43,973
No!
73
00:03:46,018 --> 00:03:48,186
I'll take some of that.
74
00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:50,605
Mr. Palter has an altar, I see.
75
00:03:50,814 --> 00:03:52,106
Yeah. The Palter Porch.
76
00:03:53,317 --> 00:03:55,359
I knew you looked familiar.
77
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:56,569
Just a little.
78
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,154
I think I used to work with your kids.
79
00:03:58,363 --> 00:03:59,906
A couple of young guys.
80
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:01,866
Mark and I met at the University of Vermont
81
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:02,992
in about '61?
82
00:04:03,202 --> 00:04:04,202
Late '61.
83
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:06,704
We were both interested in folk music,
84
00:04:06,914 --> 00:04:09,165
and there was a big folk music scene
85
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:10,625
as there were in many colleges.
86
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:13,711
And we formed a group called The Twobadours.
87
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:16,214
- Two. T-W-O.
- Badours.
88
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:18,049
Because there were two of us.
89
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:19,550
That was the reasoning behind the name.
90
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,428
Mark was a bass, really, a bass singer.
91
00:04:22,721 --> 00:04:23,679
I sang way down here.
92
00:04:23,889 --> 00:04:26,140
And I was a tenor singer up there.
93
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:28,142
And so we had no lead.
94
00:04:28,352 --> 00:04:30,519
No glue. No middle, no...
95
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:32,438
Vocalist. So when we went down to New York
96
00:04:32,648 --> 00:04:34,065
to see what was happening in the biz.
97
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:35,274
We were playing at a place.
98
00:04:35,484 --> 00:04:36,359
The Folk Place.
99
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:38,110
At The Folk Place,
100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,905
which was a wonderful club
at the time and we ran into--
101
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:42,990
It was the flash point. It really was.
102
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,369
Everyone-- It was like a big
magnet, everyone went there.
103
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:48,788
He was singing, he was backing people up--
104
00:04:48,997 --> 00:04:51,540
I thought I was a guitar player at the time.
105
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:54,585
If you have enough vibrato on
those nice blue Fender guitars,
106
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:57,088
you can sound like a surf king, you know, but...
107
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,340
I was drawn to the folk music as well
108
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:01,259
and I wound up down at The Folk Place
109
00:05:01,468 --> 00:05:03,052
and met these two guys.
110
00:05:03,262 --> 00:05:04,804
I could play the guitar a little bit.
111
00:05:05,013 --> 00:05:06,555
I could sing right in the middle there,
112
00:05:06,765 --> 00:05:08,057
you know, mostly just sang for myself.
113
00:05:08,267 --> 00:05:09,767
Not a bad-looking gent, to boot.
114
00:05:09,977 --> 00:05:11,852
No, that's true. That didn't hurt.
115
00:05:12,062 --> 00:05:14,438
We ended up getting together and it just kind of...
116
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:15,106
It clicked.
117
00:05:15,315 --> 00:05:16,649
It clicked.
118
00:05:16,858 --> 00:05:18,943
And Mr. Irving Steinbloom came down
119
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:23,114
and he signed us to Folk Town
which was the label to be on.
120
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:24,991
Terrific label.
121
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,119
Later on we were kind of
moved down the food chain a bit
122
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:31,956
to the Folk Tone label which was a subsidiary.
123
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,291
It was a decent label,
124
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:34,750
they just didn't have the distribution.
125
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,335
Well, they just didn't have any distribution.
126
00:05:36,545 --> 00:05:37,962
No distribution at all.
127
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,382
And the covers were printed
in two colors instead of four
128
00:05:41,591 --> 00:05:43,551
which I noticed was a problem.
129
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,179
And they had no hole in the center of the record--
130
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:49,181
No, you'd have to provide it yourself.
131
00:05:49,391 --> 00:05:50,599
So the people complained
132
00:05:50,809 --> 00:05:52,184
that you'd get this vinyl,
133
00:05:52,394 --> 00:05:55,771
of course in those days,
and it's up to you to center it.
134
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:57,606
It would teeter crazily on the little spindle.
135
00:05:57,816 --> 00:05:59,567
And that was, of course,
136
00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:01,485
we had no control over that aspect of it.
137
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:03,863
- They were still good records.
- Good product.
138
00:06:04,072 --> 00:06:07,533
If you punched a hole in them,
you'd have a good time.

143
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:21,172
I guess it was in about 1958 in Greenwich Village.
144
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:24,967
My partner Chuck Wiseman
and myself had gotten together
145
00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:28,179
with Fred Knox and Bill Weyburn.
146
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:31,265
We were lucky to be joined by
one of the greatest talents
147
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:32,516
of our generation--
148
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:34,352
any generation, as a matter of fact,
149
00:06:34,561 --> 00:06:36,854
Ramblin' Sandy Pitnik.
150
00:06:37,064 --> 00:06:40,983
And we became the Village Folk Ensemble.
151
00:06:41,193 --> 00:06:43,194
And we were a great group. Great.
152
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,905
We had a good sound but I always thought
153
00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:48,991
we should have something bigger, a fuller sound.
154
00:06:49,201 --> 00:06:53,871
And one night in 1960, I'll never forget this
155
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:56,207
we were at a hootenanny and we were jamming
156
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:57,833
with the Klapper Family.
157
00:06:58,043 --> 00:06:59,543
And all of a sudden, I heard it.
158
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:02,338
The sound that I'd been thinking about.
159
00:07:02,547 --> 00:07:05,216
The harmonics were amazing.
160
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:08,386
I thought, "Well, there's five
of us, there's four of them.
161
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:10,763
It's a neuf-tet."
162
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:14,016
And it was there, just in a moment, it was all there.
163
00:07:14,226 --> 00:07:16,227
The neuf-tet sound.
164
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:19,105
This thing clicked with The Klappers too,
165
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:22,525
so we joined forces and became
The Main Street Singers.
166
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:26,028
Well, 10 years and 30 albums later,
167
00:07:26,238 --> 00:07:29,782
we disbanded, but we'd had a good run.
168
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,452
My partner Chuck Wiseman and
myself, we called it quits too.
169
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:37,164
I went my way and Chuck went his.
170
00:07:37,374 --> 00:07:41,335
In 1971, after the breakup of The Main Street Singers
171
00:07:41,503 --> 00:07:42,753
Chuck Wiseman moved up to San Francisco
172
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:44,130
where he started a retail business
173
00:07:44,339 --> 00:07:46,757
with his brothers Howard and Dell.
174
00:07:46,967 --> 00:07:50,761
Um, the Three Wiseman's Sex Emporium.
175
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:52,430
It was very successful for a year
176
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,765
until they were sued over something having to do
177
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:56,809
with a box of benwa balls.
178
00:07:57,018 --> 00:07:58,269
No, I need you, Mitch.
179
00:07:58,478 --> 00:07:59,979
I need Mitch and Mickey. Mitch and Mickey.
180
00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:02,565
That's the thing. You go together.
181
00:08:02,774 --> 00:08:05,276
I love Mickey, but without you it's not the same.
182
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:08,279
You got to think--
183
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:10,114
I'm gonna tell you something--
184
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:11,949
I'm gonna tell you something, Mitch,
185
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:13,451
and I've never told anybody this before.
186
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:16,412
You were Dad's favorite. Okay.
187
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:19,290
Just deal with it, okay? You were Dad's favorite.
188
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,041
I've never said this to a single soul.
189
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:24,920
Two weeks before he died he took
me aside and he said to me:
190
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:29,633
"Of all those ferkakte people,
I love Mitch, he's my favorite.
191
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:31,802
He's like a relative, he's like my nephew to me."
192
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:33,179
I'm only saying this because
193
00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:34,722
I think you'd want to know this, Mitch,
194
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:36,724
before you make your mind up one way or the other.
195
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:38,142

Sounds cliché, but it's kind of a blur, you know?
200
00:08:51,198 --> 00:08:52,698
They loved us.
201
00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:55,951
I think, I guess we were,
in a way, maybe easy to love
202
00:08:56,161 --> 00:08:59,288
because we represented, you know, true love
203
00:08:59,498 --> 00:09:03,167
and romance and sweetness, and...
204
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:04,960
And to be quite honest,
205
00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:08,339
I bought the image as much as anyone else.
206
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:11,050
Maybe that's why I sold it so well.
207
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:13,844
Because it was sweet and happy
208
00:09:14,054 --> 00:09:17,139
and everybody, everybody loved to hang around Mitch.
209
00:09:17,349 --> 00:09:22,061
They tried to get close to him,
but I was close to him.
210
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:24,939
He was very smart, very intense...
211
00:09:26,608 --> 00:09:28,359
and distant, you know?
212
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:31,403
You'd get close to him and he'd just inch back
213
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:32,988
that much further, you know.
214
00:09:33,198 --> 00:09:36,534
And you'd move in, you know, to get inside Mitch
215
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,869
and he'd just back off a little more.
216
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:43,541
Just always kept you wanting
to get there, to understand him.
217
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,377

It can't be overstated.
224
00:10:22,956 --> 00:10:25,499
It was...
225
00:10:25,709 --> 00:10:30,796
a superb moment in the history of folk music.
226
00:10:31,006 --> 00:10:33,257
And maybe...
227
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:37,219
maybe a great moment in the history of humans.
228
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:44,435
I'd like to think that Mitch
would agree to do this with me.
229
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:49,440
Because I already said yes.
And I can't do it alone, so...
230
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,234
No, I didn't think this through.
231
00:10:52,444 --> 00:10:54,737
Should've talked to him beforehand, you know,
232
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:56,655
but I haven't talked to him in so long.
233
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:00,826
It wasn't, uh... We weren't talking.
234
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:05,873
You know, those last few years...
235
00:11:06,082 --> 00:11:09,543
Okay, I'm remembering some things now, yeah.
236
00:11:09,753 --> 00:11:11,545
There was lots of fighting going on.
237
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:15,424
And I think for a while we were able
238
00:11:15,634 --> 00:11:19,261
to keep it on a professional level.
239
00:11:19,471 --> 00:11:21,513
But really, we were getting
240
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:24,808
some personal things out, you know.
241
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:28,812
I was just out of high school,
I had just started here.
242
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:32,316
And I must say I was in awe of Mitch and Mickey.
243
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,610
Who wasn't?
244
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:37,655
They were here working on When You're Next To Me
245
00:11:37,864 --> 00:11:39,907
which proved to be their last album together.
246
00:11:40,075 --> 00:11:42,159
Mickey started shouting at Mitch.
247
00:11:42,369 --> 00:11:43,994
She just went off.
248
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:46,872
She started throwing anything
she could get her hands on
249
00:11:47,082 --> 00:11:48,791
at Mitch. Anything.
250
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,130
Music stands, microphone stands, mics, guitars.
251
00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:57,132
And Mitch...
252
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:00,761
He just...
253
00:12:02,138 --> 00:12:04,264
He just snapped.

257
00:12:28,998 --> 00:12:30,958
Well, gosh, you know, I've been playing
258
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,376
the music of The Main Street Singers
259
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:34,378
oh, my whole life, I mean,
260
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,505
from way back in Tampa.
261
00:12:36,715 --> 00:12:39,925
I've come to understand as an adult,
262
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:43,846
uh, with the help of Laurie, my beautiful wife
263
00:12:44,055 --> 00:12:46,890
that there had been abuse in my family,
264
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,060
but it was mostly musical in nature.
265
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:53,689
My father used to lock me away in a room
266
00:12:53,898 --> 00:12:57,901
with nothing but the Percy Faith
recording of "Bim Bam Boom"
267
00:12:58,111 --> 00:13:02,322
and then send me to bed with nothing but dessert.
268
00:13:02,532 --> 00:13:05,159
And one of the records he put me in there with
269
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:06,577
was Sunny Side Up.
270
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:08,537
The Main Street Singers, 1968.
271
00:13:08,747 --> 00:13:12,416
I tell you, my head opened up, my heart opened up.
272
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:13,625
I listened to that record
273
00:13:13,835 --> 00:13:15,043
over and over and over.
274
00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:18,005
I knew it right and left and every way to Sunday.
275
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:19,590
I feel like I knew those people.
276
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:23,177
And, uh, I wanted to be in that group so badly
277
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:26,263
that at the age of 8 years old,
278
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:28,390
I went down into the basement
279
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,392
and I made cardboard cutouts
of everybody in the group
280
00:13:30,602 --> 00:13:32,978
so that I could sing along
with them and be one of them.
281
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:36,774
These were my friends, and they
were made out of gin boxes.
282
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:40,277
It's odd that Laurie came from such a different--
283
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:42,279
Right. A completely different path.
284
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:44,281
I was brought up in a very small town,
285
00:13:44,491 --> 00:13:46,575
just south of the Chicago city limits.
286
00:13:46,785 --> 00:13:49,203
And just far enough away
to have been peopled with pure,
287
00:13:49,412 --> 00:13:52,122
unadulterated white trash.
288
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:54,082
And because I was one of so many children,
289
00:13:54,292 --> 00:13:56,293
I don't believe that anyone noticed
290
00:13:56,503 --> 00:13:57,753
when I blew town at 15
291
00:13:57,962 --> 00:14:00,339
and ended up in San Francisco, California.
292
00:14:00,548 --> 00:14:04,468
And it's at this point in my
story that the dark clouds part
293
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:08,180
because I met a certain Mr. Wiseman,
294
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,724
who gave me a job in his shop.
295
00:14:10,934 --> 00:14:14,311
And before long, he tapped me to do some small roles
296
00:14:14,521 --> 00:14:18,649
in some of his short films for more mature audiences.
297
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:23,362
And before long, I had landed,
if you will, some leads
298
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:27,032
and then I started to do some cameos.
299
00:14:27,242 --> 00:14:31,578
Well, I was known for doing a certain thing
300
00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:35,499
that many of the other girls wouldn't do.
301
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:39,086
And of course, I loved to sing,
ever since I was a little girl.
302
00:14:39,295 --> 00:14:43,465
And I learned to play the
ukulele in one of my last films,
303
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:44,842
Not So Tiny Tim.
304
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:47,594
And based on that, my world opened up
305
00:14:47,804 --> 00:14:49,096
because I was invited to join
306
00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:51,473
the re-formed New Main Street Singers.
307
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:53,809
And that's where I met my man,
308
00:14:54,018 --> 00:14:57,521
and before long I was the new Mrs. Bohner.
309
00:14:57,730 --> 00:14:59,231
Ain't that something?
310
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,024
A beautiful story. I tell you.
311
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:04,820
Last week I heard you were gonna come in at 5
312
00:15:05,029 --> 00:15:07,155
and you never showed up. It's okay, it's just that--
313
00:15:07,365 --> 00:15:10,659
- He's in. Mitch is in.
- Really?
314
00:15:10,869 --> 00:15:11,869
- It's unbelievable.
- Congratulations!
315
00:15:12,078 --> 00:15:13,996
Thank you. Thank you.
316
00:15:14,205 --> 00:15:15,789
He said he would be a part of this?
317
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:16,832
Yes. Well...
318
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:18,417
He said just now on the phone?
319
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,837
Yeah, I think he did. Did he-- In writing?
320
00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:25,841
I'm sorr-- I'm just looking out for you.
321
00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:29,344
Let's not rain on the parade, okay? He's in.
322
00:15:29,554 --> 00:15:33,724
In 1974, after the breakup,
Mitch was extremely angry.
323
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:36,560
His first solo album,
324
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:41,732
Cry For Help, contained numbers like "If I Had A Gun"
325
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:45,235
"Anyone But You," "May She Rot in Hell."
326
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:49,656
And this just spiraled down
327
00:15:49,866 --> 00:15:52,284
to the next album,
328
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:54,202
Calling It Quits.
329
00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:57,414
And at that point he was in a very bad way.
330
00:16:17,727 --> 00:16:22,439
There was a lot of of anger in Mitch...
331
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:29,071
for reasons, you know, that he had.
332
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,116
I think he went too soon.
333
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:34,618
He should have stayed longer,
334
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:37,204
because we really didn't get a grip on him.
335
00:16:38,456 --> 00:16:44,795
And, uh, his anger was unhealthy...
336
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,631
for all of us.
337
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:55,806
- Hello, Mickey.
- Mitch.
338
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,641
- How are you?
- Great.
339
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,018
- It's good to see you.
- You too. So...
340
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:02,312
Mitch Cohen, this is my husband.
341
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:04,022
Leonard Crabbe, very nice to meet you.
342
00:17:04,232 --> 00:17:05,649
It's nice to meet you.
343
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:07,109
Welcome to the house of Crabbe.
344
00:17:07,318 --> 00:17:10,821
Thank you very much. I just checked into the hotel.
345
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:14,282
Left my things there.
346
00:17:14,492 --> 00:17:16,326
Good. Which hotel was that, then?
347
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:19,162
I don't know the name.
348
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:21,790
I can't remember the name, but it's very nice.
349
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,126
Are you hungry?
350
00:17:24,335 --> 00:17:25,335
Yes.
351
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:27,004
Good. Lunch is not quite ready.
352
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,006
Maybe you'd like to take Mitch to see your trains?
353
00:17:29,215 --> 00:17:30,882
Oh, yes. Do you like trains?
354
00:17:31,092 --> 00:17:33,135
I took a bus.
355
00:17:33,344 --> 00:17:37,681
No. Model trains. Do you like model trains?
356
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:39,933
- Sure.
- It's a bit of a passion for me.
357
00:17:40,143 --> 00:17:42,602
I'll show you around. It's right down here.
358
00:17:42,812 --> 00:17:44,187
It was a 16-hour trip.
359
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:46,356
This will be quicker than that.
360
00:17:53,281 --> 00:17:57,576
This whole area here is called Crabbe Town.
361
00:17:57,785 --> 00:18:01,163
We've got a brothel down there above the saloon.
362
00:18:01,372 --> 00:18:03,040
And right down there, further along,
363
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:05,375
I'm thinking of building a French Quarter.
364
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:07,544
I've actually got a bit of French blood.
365
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:12,507
I would love to see this town in the autumn.
366
00:18:12,717 --> 00:18:17,554
I think Crabbeville in autumn
would look quite magnificent.
367
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:21,850
I would have made tiny little leaves...
368
00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:26,104
oak, poplar, maple, chestnut...
369
00:18:26,314 --> 00:18:32,569
and spread them across the town of Crabbe... ville.
370
00:18:32,779 --> 00:18:34,821
Magnificent.
371
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:39,367
It's Crabbe Town, not Crabbeville.
372
00:18:53,508 --> 00:18:56,802
What is it you do, Leonard?
373
00:18:58,930 --> 00:19:00,680
For work?
374
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:02,557
Oh, work.
375
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:05,769
I'm in the bladder management industry.
376
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,813
I sell catheters.
377
00:19:08,022 --> 00:19:09,606
I have my own distribution company.
378
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:12,275
- Sure-Flo Medical Appliances.
- Ahem.
379
00:19:12,485 --> 00:19:13,860
May have heard of it.
380
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:16,488
It's actually named in tribute after my mother.
381
00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:17,739
Her name was Florence.
382
00:19:17,949 --> 00:19:20,075
It's a growth industry, really,
383
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:23,120
because one in three people over 60
384
00:19:23,329 --> 00:19:25,956
either have a flaccid or a spastic bladder, so...
385
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,626
so, in a sense, every 13.5 seconds,
386
00:19:29,836 --> 00:19:32,462
a new incontinent is born, as it were.
387
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:33,880
People like you and I
388
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:35,924
have what they call "leakage problems."
389
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:38,927
They can be running, playing tennis,
390
00:19:39,137 --> 00:19:40,428
laughing, sneezing, anything.
391
00:19:40,638 --> 00:19:41,805
I mean, the good old constipation, you know?
392
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:43,557
You have impacted fecal mass
393
00:19:43,766 --> 00:19:45,767
in your rectum, you find
that pushing on your bladder.
394
00:19:45,977 --> 00:19:51,648
You know, this might make good dessert talk.
395
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:55,610
I started playing folk clubs in New York City
396
00:19:55,820 --> 00:20:00,115
and walked into one such coffeehouse one night
397
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:02,075
and there-- Half Moon Café.
398
00:20:02,243 --> 00:20:05,328
The Half Moon Café and--
399
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:09,332
I was playing with my sisters,
Jocelyn, Claire, Estelle.
400
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:11,168
We were the North Four.
401
00:20:11,377 --> 00:20:14,379
We were on-stage and we had
a horrible little heckler.
402
00:20:14,589 --> 00:20:17,674
A little guy, but with
the loudest voice in the world.
403
00:20:17,884 --> 00:20:20,677
And just, you know, "Take off your tops"
404
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:23,346
and "Get off the stage."
405
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:28,143
"You sing like crap! You get off the stage!"
406
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:32,564
Very inarticulate. Rude.
407
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:34,858
Mean. Mean little bugger.
408
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:38,570
All of a sudden, we couldn't see
clear, you got the lights on us
409
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:40,864
but I see this tall, dark figure go over
410
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:43,408
and there's this intense little
411
00:20:43,618 --> 00:20:48,121
something going on, and all
of a sudden, he's pummeled.
412
00:20:48,331 --> 00:20:52,626
The crap pummeled out of him. I don't remember much.
413
00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:55,045
But the next thing I know, I'm in a hospital,
414
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:57,714
and the first thing I saw
415
00:20:57,924 --> 00:21:00,884
was a beautiful rose sitting
416
00:21:01,093 --> 00:21:05,055
in a vase on the night table next to the bed.
417
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:08,225
And I can't express
418
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:13,980
what was surging through my body.
419
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:18,151
I was consumed with an emotion
420
00:21:18,361 --> 00:21:22,447
that I had never felt before.
421
00:21:22,657 --> 00:21:24,282
♪♪ This love for you I'm feelin'... ♪♪
422
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:26,618
We started singing together.
423
00:21:27,578 --> 00:21:31,289
We simply fused together
424
00:21:31,499 --> 00:21:35,043
in a very meaningful way.
425
00:21:35,253 --> 00:21:38,922
And before you know it, we were recording.
426
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:40,632
I learned to sing with Mitch.
427
00:21:40,841 --> 00:21:42,217
And...
428
00:21:42,426 --> 00:21:45,345
So scary, so scary. But I just...
429
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:48,765
Mitch was so strong and so smart
and knew what he wanted
430
00:21:48,975 --> 00:21:52,560
and I just focused on Mitch and...
431
00:21:52,770 --> 00:21:55,397
You know, I went along for the ride.
432
00:21:55,606 --> 00:21:57,607
One, two, three, and...
433
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:02,028
Wait. I doubled after you?
434
00:22:02,238 --> 00:22:03,905
No, with me. That's doubling.
435
00:22:04,115 --> 00:22:06,283
You both climb aboard the ferry at the same time.
436
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:08,910
Okay, fair enough.
437
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:10,537
One, two, three, and...
438
00:22:13,541 --> 00:22:15,375

449
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:08,928
I just, sorry, I just got a mental picture in my mind
450
00:23:09,096 --> 00:23:11,264
of us on-stage in the show.
451
00:23:11,474 --> 00:23:13,391
And it just...
452
00:23:13,601 --> 00:23:16,436
We weren't wearing the old stuff, the old gear,
453
00:23:16,645 --> 00:23:17,645
the old...
454
00:23:17,855 --> 00:23:18,938
We're talking about the dickeys here?
455
00:23:19,106 --> 00:23:21,358
I think I'm on record as Mr. Anti-dickey.
456
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:23,735
You were Mr. Drop-the-dickey.
457
00:23:23,944 --> 00:23:25,695
It's just a very retro look.
458
00:23:25,905 --> 00:23:28,948
I'm totally available for the discussion of it.
459
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:32,369
It just sounds like you're
thinking the image that we had
460
00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:35,455
was a retro image of something that wasn't retro
461
00:23:35,664 --> 00:23:37,457
because we weren't retro because we were then--
462
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:40,210
Right, it wasn't retro then but now,
463
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:43,171
to try a retro thing, it might just look kind of sad.
464
00:23:43,381 --> 00:23:45,715
I mean... To do then now would be retro.
465
00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:50,220
To do then then was very now-tro, if you will.
466
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:51,596
It's odd.
467
00:23:51,806 --> 00:23:53,598
I'm looking at at numbers here, guys,
468
00:23:53,808 --> 00:23:55,183
I know we're getting emotional with things
469
00:23:55,393 --> 00:23:56,768
and I know we want to give this
470
00:23:56,977 --> 00:23:58,561
to be a great thing for you know who,
471
00:23:58,771 --> 00:23:59,854
but I'm looking at numbers--
472
00:24:00,064 --> 00:24:02,482
For Dad. Can't you say it? For Dad.
473
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:03,733
Look, I--
474
00:24:03,943 --> 00:24:06,111
You can't say his name, can you?
475
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,155
You're not the only one that's
thinking about Dad right now.
476
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:12,033
You're not the only person
going through this little--
477
00:24:12,243 --> 00:24:13,660
You don't have to take everything personally.
478
00:24:13,869 --> 00:24:16,079
It's not you. It's her. Forgive me.
479
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:17,747
I'm sorry. Forgive me. Never mind.
480
00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:21,209
This isn't really just a reunion for the folk groups.
481
00:24:21,419 --> 00:24:23,920
It's also a reunion for the Steinbloom family,
482
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:26,339
minus Dad, of course.
483
00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:28,383
Because we never get together.
484
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:30,927
Not really. No.
485
00:24:31,137 --> 00:24:32,887
We talk. A lot. We talk a lot.
486
00:24:33,097 --> 00:24:34,848
We talk on the phone a lot.
487
00:24:35,057 --> 00:24:36,599
We don't really see each other.
488
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:38,643
No. We don't need to.
489
00:24:38,853 --> 00:24:40,979
I moved away to North Dakota.
490
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:42,981
I tried to get as far away as I could
491
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:44,774
to actually get the singing out of my head.
492
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,193
I didn't care for folk music and Dad knew that.
493
00:24:47,403 --> 00:24:48,903
I just didn't get it.
494
00:24:49,113 --> 00:24:53,074
So I haven't kept up our ties.
That's why this is kind of nice.
495
00:24:53,284 --> 00:24:55,452
Hopefully we can get through our little things
496
00:24:55,661 --> 00:24:59,456
and put on a good show for Dad.
497
00:24:59,665 --> 00:25:01,082
You like to make amends, but you can't,
498
00:25:01,292 --> 00:25:03,710
so we'll try to do it with one good--
499
00:25:03,919 --> 00:25:05,378
Music.
500
00:25:07,131 --> 00:25:09,466
You okay?
501
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:13,803
Let's just hang on.
502
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:16,264
Oh, Jesus.
503
00:25:28,569 --> 00:25:29,777
Woo!
504
00:25:29,987 --> 00:25:32,614
My dad, Fred Knox,
505
00:25:32,823 --> 00:25:33,990
was an original Main Street Singer
506
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,284
so I grew up with this kind of music.
507
00:25:36,494 --> 00:25:40,580
So I listened to it when I was little.
508
00:25:40,789 --> 00:25:43,750
But I didn't hear much of it when I was a teenager
509
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:46,836
because I was, um...
510
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:49,172
I was on the streets.
511
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:52,383
Yeah, I was really rescued
by The New Main Street Singers
512
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:56,804
and they really gave me a break from that, uh,
513
00:25:57,014 --> 00:25:59,182
dark, that darkness.
514
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,852
And, um... So I like to give people a break now.
515
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:06,606
So when I sing, I want to give
out what was given to me.
516
00:26:06,815 --> 00:26:10,443
And I want to be, you know, a vessel of love
517
00:26:10,653 --> 00:26:14,030
and I want to entertain and make people happy.
518
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,698
So I look for someone out in the audience
519
00:26:15,908 --> 00:26:18,535
and that's what brings me real joy.
520
00:26:18,744 --> 00:26:22,247
And, so when Mr. Menschell called me in 1995--
521
00:26:22,456 --> 00:26:23,790
my dad died--
522
00:26:23,999 --> 00:26:28,962
and asked me to be a part of this band, I said:
523
00:26:29,171 --> 00:26:30,964
"Well, yeah."

Quick plugola, I'm Mike LaFontaine,
533
00:27:21,557 --> 00:27:24,392
owner and founder of Hi-Class Management.
534
00:27:25,603 --> 00:27:26,603
Whoops!
535
00:27:26,812 --> 00:27:28,605
Comic's constant companion.
536
00:27:28,814 --> 00:27:31,899
Let's start right out. Hey, wha' happened?
537
00:27:32,109 --> 00:27:33,234
As you know, back in
538
00:27:33,444 --> 00:27:34,736
197--
539
00:27:34,945 --> 00:27:36,946
I starred on a series called, Wha' Happened.
540
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:39,282
And every time something would go wrong,
541
00:27:39,491 --> 00:27:40,742
I'd look at the camera and say:
542
00:27:40,951 --> 00:27:42,577
"Hey, wha' happened?"
543
00:27:42,786 --> 00:27:44,162
We had a lot of fun with that
544
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:46,122
and a lot of other catch phrases.
545
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:47,874
"I got a real red wagon!"
546
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:51,544
And, "I can't do my work!"
547
00:27:51,754 --> 00:27:55,048
And I believe I was the first one to use the phrase,
548
00:27:55,257 --> 00:27:57,467
"I don't think so!"
549
00:27:57,676 --> 00:27:59,469
But it only lasted a year.
550
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:02,180
And that's good because that's
how you establish a cult.
551
00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:03,473
So I was on-stage
552
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:05,058
doing all my shtick, you know,
553
00:28:05,267 --> 00:28:07,810
"Hey, wha' happened?" and "I can't do my work!"
554
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,854
If someone would heckle me, they'd say,
555
00:28:10,064 --> 00:28:11,648
"Are you gonna be on-stage all night?"
556
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:13,316
I would say, "That's right!"
557
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:14,984
and that would crack up the audience.
558
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:17,570
But I noticed a guy sitting down
front with a long face,
559
00:28:17,738 --> 00:28:18,988
nothing got to him.
560
00:28:19,198 --> 00:28:20,907
So I turned to the lady next to him, I said:
561
00:28:21,075 --> 00:28:23,117
"Would you hold your mirror up in front of his nose
562
00:28:23,327 --> 00:28:25,036
"to see if he's still breathing.
563
00:28:25,245 --> 00:28:26,829
To see in fact, if there's a reflection."
564
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:28,373
So he started to smile.
565
00:28:28,582 --> 00:28:31,751
After the show I go down and introduce myself.
566
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,419
His name is George Menschell.
567
00:28:33,629 --> 00:28:36,339
He had been with a group called
The Main Street Singers.
568
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:39,133
Now I was never into folk music.
569
00:28:39,343 --> 00:28:41,302
I'd worked some bills with some folkies. You know:
570
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:43,888
♪♪ Put him in a cell With a long hose on him ♪♪
571
00:28:44,098 --> 00:28:46,516
♪♪ Put him in a cell With a long hose on him ♪♪
572
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:48,893
And I used to say, "If he's got a long enough hose
573
00:28:49,103 --> 00:28:51,312
he's gonna have a lot of friends in the shower room!"
574
00:28:51,522 --> 00:28:56,192
Folk audiences hated that joke.
But I said to George, I said:
575
00:28:56,402 --> 00:28:58,945
"Seriously, you've put up some great numbers.
576
00:28:59,154 --> 00:29:01,322
If you re-form your group, I can send you out
577
00:29:01,532 --> 00:29:03,366
on the Starfish Cruise Lines.
578
00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:05,159
Together, we could make a fortune
579
00:29:05,369 --> 00:29:06,869
and you will have a ball."
580
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:09,372
They used to go out, come back,
they had a great time.
581
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:11,457
Except a couple of cruises
582
00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:14,502
dysentery broke out on the ship. I was not there.
583
00:29:14,712 --> 00:29:17,130
You do not want to be on a cruise ship
584
00:29:17,339 --> 00:29:18,673
when dysentery breaks out and be knocking
585
00:29:18,882 --> 00:29:21,426
on the men's room door,
"Will you be coming out soon?"
586
00:29:21,635 --> 00:29:24,721
and hear, "I don't think so!"
587
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:28,057
I'm just so glad to be here. I love the network.
588
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:29,517
I love what you do here.
589
00:29:29,727 --> 00:29:32,437
I watch it constantly, basically.
590
00:29:32,646 --> 00:29:34,397
That's really all I wanted to start by saying.
591
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:36,566
I just think you're doing a fabulous job.
592
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:40,236
And I'm very, very happy to be here talking with you.
593
00:29:40,446 --> 00:29:41,738
Well, it's a perfect fit.
594
00:29:41,947 --> 00:29:43,281
As you may know, our demographics
595
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:44,907
are skewing a bit older
596
00:29:45,117 --> 00:29:46,325
and that can be a minus
597
00:29:46,535 --> 00:29:47,535
with some of the corporate underwriters.
598
00:29:47,745 --> 00:29:49,328
But in this case, it's a plus because
599
00:29:49,496 --> 00:29:51,122
there's a lot of built-in fans for The Folksmen,
600
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:53,666
all the other groups that your dad represented.
601
00:29:53,876 --> 00:29:56,586
And, you know, I think it's gonna do very well
602
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:59,505
in the evening hours, here,
which is when we would propose
603
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:00,590
to do this concert.
604
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:02,508
If you don't mind my saying so,
605
00:30:02,718 --> 00:30:05,428
our audience for some of these
groups is getting younger.
606
00:30:05,637 --> 00:30:08,222
Not radically younger. Which I hope is all right.
607
00:30:08,432 --> 00:30:11,267
All right? If we can get two dozen young people
608
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:12,602
watching in the evening hours
609
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:14,312
I think there's several people at this table
610
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,148
that would be happy because
we don't have much of that now.
611
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:19,609
So, this is great and I want to tell you
612
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:21,819
if you're not weary of hearing
stories about your dad,
613
00:30:22,029 --> 00:30:24,113
I want to tell you a little story.
614
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:26,532
A young kid by the name of Lars Olfen,
615
00:30:26,742 --> 00:30:29,952
in 1966, going to a concert.
616
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,330
I'm 16 years old and it was raining.
617
00:30:32,539 --> 00:30:34,916
And I got right up to the box office
618
00:30:35,125 --> 00:30:37,126
and like some kind of practical joke
619
00:30:37,336 --> 00:30:38,586
the door slammed shut.
620
00:30:38,796 --> 00:30:40,421
Sold out, right when I got there.
621
00:30:40,631 --> 00:30:43,257
And my little young tears mixed with the rain,
622
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:45,051
and I'm walking away and I hear a voice.
623
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:47,804
"Hey, kid, over here." And I go, "What, a scalper?
624
00:30:48,013 --> 00:30:49,222
"Who is this guy?
625
00:30:49,431 --> 00:30:50,848
I can't afford that kind of money for a ticket."
626
00:30:51,058 --> 00:30:53,309
But he looks kind of familiar and I go over there.
627
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:56,437
He hands me two tickets, doesn't want a dollar.
628
00:30:56,647 --> 00:30:59,982
It's your father. Why would he do that?
629
00:31:00,192 --> 00:31:01,651
That was Dad, you know.
630
00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:03,319
He was just out there, with people.
631
00:31:03,529 --> 00:31:06,405
And he was generous, and he was kind
632
00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:08,741
and really that's why we're doing this thing
633
00:31:08,951 --> 00:31:11,702
to pay back this much back to his memory.
634
00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:13,579
The naches I'm feeling right now.
635
00:31:13,789 --> 00:31:15,456
Because your dad was like mishpoche to me.
636
00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:18,000
When I heard I got these tickets to The Folksmen,
637
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:19,585
I let out a geshreeyeh
638
00:31:19,795 --> 00:31:21,921
and I'm running with my friend like a vilde chaye
639
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:24,632
right into the theater, in the front row.
640
00:31:24,842 --> 00:31:26,342
So we've got the schpilkes
641
00:31:26,552 --> 00:31:27,844
because we're sitting right there.
642
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,345
And it's a mitzvah what your dad did,
643
00:31:29,555 --> 00:31:31,597
and I want to try to give that back to you.
644
00:31:31,807 --> 00:31:33,766
Okeinhoreh, I say, and God bless him.

I've been wearing it for a month.

You know the policy.
687
00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:12,990
We all gotta wear the uniform
688
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,408

I mean, you did not sing that sixth,
692
00:33:19,247 --> 00:33:20,831
and I want to see you sing that sixth.
693
00:33:21,041 --> 00:33:22,833
You just wear what you have on. You sound fine.

We'll just do it again,
695

00:33:27,464 --> 00:33:29,465
Jonathan? Hi.
698
00:33:29,675 --> 00:33:32,134
Well, I got good news and better news.
699
00:33:32,344 --> 00:33:34,428
Good news is, we're still doing the concert.
700
00:33:34,638 --> 00:33:38,015
Of course, the better news is, we are going live.
701
00:33:38,225 --> 00:33:39,642
Yeah.
702
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:42,311
I got a friend at NOAA so we're going up
703
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:43,813
in the Nimbus 7 Oceanographic Satellite.
704
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:47,316
He's got some bandwidth there, and it's live!
705
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:50,277
Yeah, the corporate underwriters
wouldn't go for it, so...
706
00:33:52,197 --> 00:33:55,783
I'm excited too!
707
00:33:55,993 --> 00:33:58,202
Okay. Okay.
708
00:33:58,412 --> 00:33:59,912
Shalom.
709
00:34:00,122 --> 00:34:02,665
Folk music is in my blood.
710
00:34:02,874 --> 00:34:06,043
You know, as a young boy, in Sweden--
711
00:34:06,253 --> 00:34:08,546
I was born there and came here at an early age
712
00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:10,506
but we'd go back to Sweden every year,
713
00:34:10,716 --> 00:34:12,341
my family and I, in the winter
714
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:14,260
which was a flip from the normal thing.
715
00:34:14,469 --> 00:34:17,763
But every Olfen kid, Lars, Sven, Pippi and Liv,
716
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:20,349
we were trained on the dulcimer,
from the earliest age.
717
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:22,351
When you could hold a rattle, you'd hold a dulcimer.
718
00:34:22,561 --> 00:34:24,186
And we learned to play.
719
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:26,022
And eventually I had a garage band in Stockholm,
720
00:34:26,231 --> 00:34:27,857
which was a challenge in its own right
721
00:34:28,066 --> 00:34:29,233
you know to keep an instrument tuned
722
00:34:29,443 --> 00:34:30,776
with that temperature swing.
723
00:34:30,986 --> 00:34:33,529
There's a block warmer for the Volvo in the garage
724
00:34:33,739 --> 00:34:36,157
but it's pretty cold in there in the winter.
725
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:39,452
So we played and I had a hit
that you might have heard of.
726
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:42,288
Which means, "How's It Hanging, Grandma?"
727
00:34:42,497 --> 00:34:44,206
and it was big on the Swedish charts.
728
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:46,917
And so I got in touch with the American music.
729
00:34:47,127 --> 00:34:49,545
And I loved that and thrived on that,
730
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:52,131
so I came here and became part of that scene.
731
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:55,468
And I'm just so happy to be here
and come full circle,
732
00:34:55,677 --> 00:34:57,053
airing this show on PBN.
733
00:34:57,262 --> 00:34:59,346

740
00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:26,665
That's really getting confusing.
It's really confusing.
741
00:35:26,875 --> 00:35:30,294
It's really confusing.
I'm hearing you the same timbre,
742
00:35:30,504 --> 00:35:31,837
and it's cluttered.
743
00:35:32,047 --> 00:35:34,256
Maybe if I did it higher and he did it lower--
744
00:35:34,466 --> 00:35:37,218
Actually, if you do what you did before--
745
00:35:37,427 --> 00:35:40,054
I can't get that much higher.
746
00:35:40,263 --> 00:35:41,597
But that's--
747
00:35:41,807 --> 00:35:43,933
Now it sounds almost more like a ventriloquist.
748
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:46,310
Can I make the radical suggestion that maybe
749
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:47,853
this is not the best number
750
00:35:48,063 --> 00:35:50,314
to start with?
751
00:35:50,524 --> 00:35:51,899
This is a live television show.
752
00:35:52,109 --> 00:35:54,652
We don't want people to reach for their remotes here.
753
00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:56,779
It's public television. I don't think...
754
00:35:56,988 --> 00:35:58,989
- They don't have remotes.
- Yeah.
755
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:01,700
My God, that's terrible.
756
00:36:01,910 --> 00:36:03,911
What do you mean he won't come out of the room?
757
00:36:04,121 --> 00:36:05,496
Yeah, well, Mickey,
758
00:36:05,705 --> 00:36:06,497
have you talked to him?
759
00:36:06,706 --> 00:36:09,125
Has he talked to a doctor?
Have you given him medication?
760
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:11,377
I mean, I know he's anxious.
I'm anxious. I'm always anxious.
761
00:36:11,545 --> 00:36:14,213
I come out. You know, I mean, we gotta do something.
762
00:36:14,422 --> 00:36:17,466
You want me to-- You mean,
I'm supposed to talk to him?
763
00:36:17,676 --> 00:36:20,469
I mean, I like him, I don't have
that much to say to him.
764
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:21,971
I could be empathetic.
765
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:23,764
I'm not sure what else I could do.
766
00:36:23,974 --> 00:36:25,516
I could sit, I could try.
767
00:36:25,725 --> 00:36:26,976
Anything, we have to do something.
768
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:30,688
I'll see him. I'll talk to him. I'm happy to.
769
00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:32,314
I gotta get him out of there.
770
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:35,359
We're not broadcasting from a motel room.
771
00:36:35,569 --> 00:36:37,319
You know, we gotta get him out of there.
772
00:36:37,529 --> 00:36:38,779
What's happening here?
773
00:36:38,989 --> 00:36:41,282
Could you run your hand over that?
774
00:36:41,491 --> 00:36:44,743
- What are you getting?
- Well, I'm getting a bounce.
775
00:36:44,911 --> 00:36:47,413
But there's a lightness within it, as well.
776
00:36:47,622 --> 00:36:51,417
Interesting. You know, honey,
it's a very tricky color.
777
00:36:51,585 --> 00:36:56,130
Terry and I worship an unconventional deity.
778
00:36:56,339 --> 00:36:59,091
The power of another dimension.
779
00:36:59,301 --> 00:37:01,969
Now, you're not going to read about this dimension
780
00:37:02,179 --> 00:37:05,848
in a book, or in a magazine or in a newspaper
781
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:08,934
because it doesn't exist anywhere
782
00:37:09,144 --> 00:37:12,897
except in my own mind.
783
00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:16,066
Through our ceremonies and our rituals
784
00:37:16,276 --> 00:37:18,903
we have witnessed firsthand
785
00:37:19,112 --> 00:37:24,366
the awesome and vibratory power of color.
786
00:37:24,576 --> 00:37:27,745
We experience it as alive
787
00:37:27,954 --> 00:37:31,540
and constantly shaping our experience.
788
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:36,045
And we believe that this saturated energy
789
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:40,841
is the basis of all creation.
790
00:37:41,051 --> 00:37:45,471
We are WINC. W-I-N-C.
791
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,059
Witches In Nature's Colors. WINC.
792
00:37:53,063 --> 00:37:55,814
I know the word "witch" may be
a problem for some of you.
793
00:37:56,024 --> 00:37:57,858
The word has a lot of silly connotations.
794
00:37:58,068 --> 00:37:59,109
No, ladies and gentlemen,
795
00:37:59,319 --> 00:38:00,861
we do not ride around on broomsticks
796
00:38:01,071 --> 00:38:02,279
and wear pointy hat--
797
00:38:02,489 --> 00:38:05,074
Well, we don't ride on broomsticks.
798
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,785
This is not an occult science.
799
00:38:07,994 --> 00:38:11,205
This is not one of those crazy systems
800
00:38:11,414 --> 00:38:13,624
of divination and astrology.
801
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:14,875
That stuff's hooey
802
00:38:15,085 --> 00:38:16,085
and you gotta have a screw loose
803
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:17,878
to go in for that sort of thing.
804
00:38:18,088 --> 00:38:20,631
Our beliefs are fairly commonplace
805
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,216
and simple to understand.
806
00:38:22,425 --> 00:38:25,594
Humankind is simply materialized color
807
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:27,805
operating on the 49th vibration.
808
00:38:28,014 --> 00:38:29,348
You would make that conclusion
809
00:38:29,557 --> 00:38:31,767
walking down the street or going to the store.
810
00:38:31,977 --> 00:38:33,602
I know this is a lot
811
00:38:33,812 --> 00:38:35,938
of pressure for you to be under, Mitch.
812
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:37,648
And I don't want you to feel you have
813
00:38:37,857 --> 00:38:39,191
to push yourself too far. Okay?
814
00:38:39,401 --> 00:38:42,403
This is a one-day-at-a-time kind of thing.
815
00:38:42,612 --> 00:38:43,946
I really don't want you to think that you have
816
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:45,489
to achieve anything right away.
817
00:38:45,699 --> 00:38:48,492
Very important to back off the pressure. Okay?
818
00:38:48,702 --> 00:38:51,287
There's a deception here.
819
00:38:51,496 --> 00:38:54,873
The audience, they're expecting
820
00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:58,002
to see a man who no longer exists.
821
00:38:58,211 --> 00:39:01,213
Well, you know, that may be true.
822
00:39:01,423 --> 00:39:03,132
It might indeed be true.
823
00:39:04,509 --> 00:39:06,468
But I think what you have--
824
00:39:06,678 --> 00:39:08,929
- Oh, baby.
- Oh, baby.
825
00:39:11,516 --> 00:39:12,766

Hold on. One second, please.
845
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:20,250
I got an idea. Very literate reference.
846
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:21,502
I don't know if you're familiar
847
00:40:21,711 --> 00:40:23,003
with a book about a pirate captain,
848
00:40:23,213 --> 00:40:24,296
his name is Moby Dick?
849
00:40:24,506 --> 00:40:26,048
He was chasing some big whale.
850
00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:28,050
And he had a catch phrase he'd always yell out:
851
00:40:28,259 --> 00:40:29,385
"There she blows!"
852
00:40:29,594 --> 00:40:31,011
So I thought if you could do that,
853
00:40:31,221 --> 00:40:32,137
we'd have someone off-stage
854
00:40:32,347 --> 00:40:33,972
drench the whole group with water.
855
00:40:34,182 --> 00:40:36,558
And you could look at the camera
and say, "Hey, wha' happened?"
856
00:40:36,768 --> 00:40:39,895
And every time, another thing of water.
857
00:40:40,105 --> 00:40:42,898
And by the end you're all soaked, even the ladies.
858
00:40:45,652 --> 00:40:49,238
And at the end of the song
you turn the guitars upside down
859
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:52,574
and water splashes out. Kerplunk!
860
00:40:52,784 --> 00:40:55,077

the folk people here tomorrow night.

It's not something we usually do.
874
00:42:19,662 --> 00:42:21,497
This is obviously more of a classical venue.
875
00:42:21,706 --> 00:42:23,415
But it'll be a lot of fun.
876
00:42:23,583 --> 00:42:26,293
It's like having a carnival
come to town or something.
877
00:42:26,503 --> 00:42:28,086
I'm the events liaison.
878
00:42:28,296 --> 00:42:29,671
Although a lot of people around here
879
00:42:29,881 --> 00:42:32,341
call me "King Larry" or "Your Majesty"
880
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:33,550
because I just basically do everything
881
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,385
that needs to be done around here.
882
00:42:35,595 --> 00:42:38,013
I've been up into the highest
catwalk changing light bulbs.
883
00:42:38,223 --> 00:42:41,558
I've been in the basement changing the rat traps.
884
00:42:41,768 --> 00:42:43,268
I'm also a singer.
885
00:42:43,478 --> 00:42:46,563
I'm not a professional,
but I do like to sing in church
886
00:42:46,773 --> 00:42:49,900
and, you know, places like juvenile halls.
887
00:42:50,109 --> 00:42:52,528
But this.
888
00:42:52,737 --> 00:42:54,530
This is the best place to sing in New York
889
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:56,031
and quite possibly the world.
890
00:42:56,241 --> 00:42:59,618
The acoustics are just perfect.
891
00:43:00,662 --> 00:43:06,250
♪♪ Ave ♪♪
892
00:43:06,459 --> 00:43:11,004
♪♪ Maria ♪♪
893
00:43:11,214 --> 00:43:20,180
♪♪ Dominus tecum ♪♪♪♪
894
00:43:22,433 --> 00:43:23,559
Did I miss it?
895
00:43:23,768 --> 00:43:24,977
No. It's about a mile.
896
00:43:25,186 --> 00:43:27,145
I'm not sure if I'm going north or south.
897
00:43:27,355 --> 00:43:28,897
Where is it again?
898
00:43:29,107 --> 00:43:31,817
The guy said it was Midtown.
He said you can't miss it.
899
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:34,111
It has chrome on the front of the hotel.
900
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,737
I think you wanna hang a left...
901
00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:37,656
I'm gonna make a left. and try again.
902
00:43:37,865 --> 00:43:39,408
Do you have a map?
903
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:42,077
I have a map, but I don't have it in the car.
904
00:43:42,287 --> 00:43:43,996
Oh.
905
00:43:44,205 --> 00:43:45,914
Were you planning to study it
later, just academically, or...?
906
00:43:46,124 --> 00:43:47,749
Is it on the way?
907
00:43:47,959 --> 00:43:49,626
Look, guys, I'm gonna get us here.
908
00:43:49,836 --> 00:43:50,627
Nobody's busting your chops.
909
00:43:50,837 --> 00:43:51,920
Yet.
910
00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:53,463
It's just a question of time.
911
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:55,507
Why don't you pull over and let me drive, Alan.
912
00:43:55,717 --> 00:43:57,092
Because I don't want you to drive.
913
00:43:57,302 --> 00:43:59,136
Now I don't know where I am.
914
00:43:59,345 --> 00:44:00,846
We are very excited to be involved with this project.
915
00:44:01,055 --> 00:44:03,932
And frankly, it's gonna be
something of a challenge for me,
916
00:44:04,142 --> 00:44:05,934
personally, anyways, because
I'm not a fan of folk music.
917
00:44:06,144 --> 00:44:07,060
Me too!
918
00:44:07,270 --> 00:44:08,270
I couldn't care less about it.
919
00:44:08,479 --> 00:44:09,605
But that really doesn't matter
920
00:44:09,814 --> 00:44:11,440
in the business of public relations
921
00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:14,067
which is what we care about, which is what we do.
922
00:44:14,277 --> 00:44:16,278
It doesn't matter what we think,
it matters what you think.
923
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:18,071
And it matters what we can make you think.
924
00:44:18,281 --> 00:44:19,698
What we can sell to you.
925
00:44:19,907 --> 00:44:21,783
And a product you're gonna love to buy.
926
00:44:21,993 --> 00:44:24,661
That's the way we look at this particular concert.
927
00:44:24,871 --> 00:44:26,872
And if we can't do that, we fake it.
928
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,249
Well, that's also part of public relations.
929
00:44:29,459 --> 00:44:30,417
We're professionals here, you see.
930
00:44:30,627 --> 00:44:33,587
We get ideas that help sell.
931
00:44:33,796 --> 00:44:36,423
We work together very well.
932
00:44:36,633 --> 00:44:40,552
It's almost as like we have one brain
933
00:44:40,762 --> 00:44:42,471
that we share between us.
934
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,806
It's like I'll have an idea,
935
00:44:45,016 --> 00:44:47,643
it will just be a teeny, tiny little spark
936
00:44:47,852 --> 00:44:52,397
and then it will get to Wally
and he'll make it a fire.
937
00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:55,150
I don't know about you,
938
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,277
but I'm predicting a lot of exciting
939
00:44:57,487 --> 00:45:00,739
amazing things that happen to the groups.
940
00:45:00,948 --> 00:45:05,994
Like big, like, not just big, but big-time stuff.
941
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:09,331
Ladies and gentlemen, as deputy mayor,
942
00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:10,874
it gives me no greater pleasure
943
00:45:11,084 --> 00:45:12,751
than to officially declare tomorrow,
944
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,379
Saturday, June 22,
945
00:45:15,588 --> 00:45:18,799
Folk Music Day in the Big Apple.
946
00:45:19,008 --> 00:45:20,926
Thank you.
947
00:45:25,223 --> 00:45:28,642
Thank you very much, Your Honor,
or Your deputy Honor.
948
00:45:28,851 --> 00:45:30,268
I have two questions.
949
00:45:30,436 --> 00:45:32,521
Number one, do you think
New York City is ready to hear
950
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,815
a rebirth of some of the finest folk music
951
00:45:35,024 --> 00:45:36,358
ever created right here in this city?
952
00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:37,901
Yes, I think so!
953
00:45:39,404 --> 00:45:42,322
And my second question is, where's the real mayor?
954
00:45:42,532 --> 00:45:43,490
Wha' happened?
955
00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:44,700
Someone shot the mayor,
956
00:45:44,909 --> 00:45:46,076
they did not shoot the deputy.
957
00:45:46,285 --> 00:45:47,911
Incidentally, the DA's office called.
958
00:45:48,121 --> 00:45:50,288
They can't find any witnesses, so he's in the clear.
959
00:45:50,456 --> 00:45:53,417
Let me say a few words about
The New Main Street Singers.
960
00:45:53,626 --> 00:45:56,628
One of the founding members has passed away,
961
00:45:56,838 --> 00:45:58,004
but he's with us tonight anyway!
962
00:45:58,214 --> 00:45:59,381
George Menschell!
963
00:45:59,590 --> 00:46:02,509
Come on up here and say something, George.
964
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:03,885
How are you? You wanna say something?
965
00:46:04,095 --> 00:46:05,137
No, no.
966
00:46:05,346 --> 00:46:06,513
Come on, say something!
967
00:46:06,723 --> 00:46:08,056
Um, but thank you sincerely, Your Honor
968
00:46:08,266 --> 00:46:09,516
which reminds me,
969
00:46:09,726 --> 00:46:11,059
I was at a swingers party the other night,
970
00:46:11,269 --> 00:46:12,728
and a fella said to me:
971
00:46:12,937 --> 00:46:15,272
"I'd like to meet your wife." I said, "Your honor!"
972
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,483
To paraphrase an old joke: Knock, knock. Who's there?
973
00:46:18,693 --> 00:46:21,153
It's The New Main Street Singers!
974
00:46:21,362 --> 00:46:23,447
Thank you so much.
975
00:46:25,825 --> 00:46:27,075
Thank you. You can take this.
976
00:46:27,285 --> 00:46:28,285
Okay.
977
00:46:28,494 --> 00:46:31,747
Thank you very much. Thank you.
978
00:46:31,956 --> 00:46:34,458
Don't forget to buy the CDs.
979
00:46:34,667 --> 00:46:37,043
Seeing these long lines of fans
980
00:46:37,253 --> 00:46:40,881
who want nothing more than
to have you sign an autograph,
981
00:46:41,090 --> 00:46:43,383
it's like it's 1968
982
00:46:43,593 --> 00:46:48,513
or '67, or '66. Uh...
983
00:46:48,723 --> 00:46:49,973
The good years.
984
00:46:50,183 --> 00:46:52,684
It's so wonderful to see the people
985
00:46:52,894 --> 00:46:55,771
that have enjoyed your music all these years.
986
00:46:55,980 --> 00:46:57,439
And there's so many of them.
987
00:46:57,648 --> 00:47:00,776
And they just want to shake your hand and say:
988
00:47:01,903 --> 00:47:04,571
"We dig what you do."
989
00:47:04,781 --> 00:47:06,156
And then there's the kids.
990
00:47:06,365 --> 00:47:07,616
We're hearing, "You rock."
991
00:47:07,825 --> 00:47:12,621
"You rock me." "You rock my world." What--?
992
00:47:12,830 --> 00:47:17,000
I was flashing back to the rush
of adrenaline we used to get
993
00:47:17,168 --> 00:47:19,628
arriving at the concert hall
994
00:47:19,837 --> 00:47:23,965
having stagehands saying, "Good show, Mitch."
995
00:47:24,175 --> 00:47:26,134
"Good luck, Mickey, tonight."
996
00:47:26,344 --> 00:47:31,139
And we'd wait backstage, hearing the crowd chanting.
997
00:47:31,349 --> 00:47:35,143
"Mickey, Mickey, Mitch, Mitch!"
998
00:47:35,353 --> 00:47:38,021
Walking out into the spot,
999
00:47:38,231 --> 00:47:42,317
the sound of the crowd cheering,
1000
00:47:42,527 --> 00:47:45,320
the decibel level...
1001
00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:50,492
For me it was just watching you.
1002
00:47:50,701 --> 00:47:53,703
Because I couldn't think about
me actually being up there.
1003
00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:54,913
Watching you.
1004
00:47:55,122 --> 00:47:57,499
I look forward to that, Mitch.
1005
00:47:57,708 --> 00:48:00,043
I wonder if it's going to happen tomorrow night.
1006
00:48:00,253 --> 00:48:01,127
Oh, yeah.
1007
00:48:01,337 --> 00:48:02,629
And I'll be there. We'll see.
1008
00:48:02,839 --> 00:48:05,048
I'll be there in the best seat in the house.
1009
00:48:12,557 --> 00:48:17,018
I guess you can make money in folk music.
1010
00:48:17,228 --> 00:48:19,354
Yeah, I guess you can. Yeah.
1011
00:48:19,564 --> 00:48:21,773
It's usually because of acts
1012
00:48:21,983 --> 00:48:24,734
like The New Main Street Singers.
1013
00:48:24,944 --> 00:48:27,112
That commercial crapola.
1014
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:28,572
Mm-hm.
1015
00:48:28,781 --> 00:48:32,659
I'm a model train enthusiast.
1016
00:48:32,869 --> 00:48:37,497
Oh, that's great!
1017
00:48:37,707 --> 00:48:39,749
I've got a whole layout in my basement.
1018
00:48:39,959 --> 00:48:42,669
It's very much a big passion for me.
1019
00:48:42,879 --> 00:48:46,214
Yeah, thank God for model trains.
1020
00:48:46,424 --> 00:48:47,424
Oh, absolutely.
1021
00:48:47,633 --> 00:48:48,967
If they didn't have model train
1022
00:48:49,176 --> 00:48:51,553
they wouldn't have gotten
the idea for the big trains.
1023
00:48:54,056 --> 00:48:56,141
Excuse me. Hi.
1024
00:48:56,350 --> 00:48:58,560
Hi, everybody. Just be a second.
1025
00:48:58,769 --> 00:49:02,939
Don't want to interrupt. We're having a great time.
1026
00:49:03,149 --> 00:49:05,984
I'd like to propose a big, big toast
1027
00:49:06,193 --> 00:49:08,737
in honor of... Dad.
1028
00:49:08,946 --> 00:49:12,073
He was an amazing and a wonderful, loving father
1029
00:49:12,283 --> 00:49:14,743
a fantastic person in general.
1030
00:49:14,952 --> 00:49:17,913
And I think anybody who even
knew Dad just for a second
1031
00:49:18,122 --> 00:49:21,082
knew that he had an amazing hum.
1032
00:49:21,292 --> 00:49:25,754
And wherever he went, he would
just suddenly break into a hum.
1033
00:49:25,963 --> 00:49:29,382
And anybody who heard this hum would just be happy.
1034
00:49:29,592 --> 00:49:31,760
And in honor of Dad, I'd like to say...
1035
00:49:31,969 --> 00:49:33,261
let's all pause,
1036
00:49:33,471 --> 00:49:37,557
let's raise our glasses and let's hum for Dad.
1037
00:49:50,404 --> 00:49:51,738
Uhh!
1038
00:49:55,034 --> 00:49:57,911
Okay, bring it down. Back up.
1039
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,455
Okay, bring it across. Bring it across.
1040
00:50:00,665 --> 00:50:03,208
Right on down here. Here, hold it.
1041
00:50:06,253 --> 00:50:07,712
So, what do you got? You got vocal?
1042
00:50:07,922 --> 00:50:09,297
Vocal, vocal.
1043
00:50:09,507 --> 00:50:10,924
Some of them are gonna do this,
1044
00:50:11,133 --> 00:50:12,592
some of them are already in there.
1045
00:50:12,802 --> 00:50:14,010
They've been assigned directions?
1046
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:15,387
Believe me. We do this every single day.
1047
00:50:15,596 --> 00:50:16,805
This is just like clockwork.
1048
00:50:17,014 --> 00:50:19,516
- Those are microphones?
- Microphone stands.
1049
00:50:19,725 --> 00:50:21,851
- They don't have tops on them.
- Pardon?
1050
00:50:22,061 --> 00:50:23,520
They don't have tops on them.
1051
00:50:23,729 --> 00:50:25,313
They'll have tops when we're
done, don't worry about it.
1052
00:50:25,523 --> 00:50:26,982
We do this every day.
1053
00:50:27,191 --> 00:50:28,650
Mic heads.
1054
00:50:28,859 --> 00:50:30,986
What would you call them? Would
you call them a "mic head,"
1055
00:50:31,195 --> 00:50:33,154
- or would it be the "mic"?
- It's just called a microphone,
1056
00:50:33,364 --> 00:50:34,739
and you will get them. Don't worry about it.
1057
00:50:34,949 --> 00:50:36,032
You don't need to write that down.
1058
00:50:36,242 --> 00:50:37,659
- We really want them.
- You'll have them.
1059
00:50:54,927 --> 00:50:59,806
Town Hall. Tonight. Mitch
and Mickey at the Town Hall.
1060
00:51:00,016 --> 00:51:01,599
Two weeks rehearsal.
1061
00:51:01,809 --> 00:51:04,019
That's the way to play Town Hall.
1062
00:51:04,228 --> 00:51:07,605
Crazy. New phrasing. Different keys.
1063
00:51:09,233 --> 00:51:11,359
But couldn't have happened any other way.
1064
00:51:11,569 --> 00:51:14,529
If we'd stayed together,
we wouldn't be at Town Hall now.
1065
00:51:14,739 --> 00:51:16,698
We'd be lucky to be in Branson,
1066
00:51:16,907 --> 00:51:18,783
opening for The Main Street Singers.
1067
00:51:18,993 --> 00:51:20,535
Nope.
1068
00:51:20,745 --> 00:51:24,289
This was our crazy way of getting here.
1069
00:51:26,292 --> 00:51:28,877
Well, I'm feeling very relaxed.
1070
00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:32,922
Very confident. Very focused.
1071
00:51:33,132 --> 00:51:36,885
You know, 35 years ago, preparing for a concert
1072
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:42,057
meant playing "find the cobra"
with a hotel chambermaid.
1073
00:51:42,266 --> 00:51:46,311
But tonight, I feel good. I feel excited.
1074
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,397
I feel ready for whatever the experience is
1075
00:51:49,607 --> 00:51:53,318
that we will take with us after the show.
1076
00:51:53,527 --> 00:51:57,322
I'm sure it will be an adventure,
1077
00:51:57,490 --> 00:52:00,992
a voyage on this magnificent vessel
1078
00:52:01,202 --> 00:52:03,661
into uncharted waters.
1079
00:52:03,871 --> 00:52:07,332
What if we see sailfish jumping
1080
00:52:07,500 --> 00:52:11,753
and flying across the magnificent orb
1081
00:52:11,962 --> 00:52:13,922
of a setting sun?
1082
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:15,465
I think it's impeccable.
1083
00:52:15,674 --> 00:52:19,260
It says happiness, it says opening night.
1084
00:52:19,470 --> 00:52:22,514
It says, "I love folk music but
I'm not afraid of classical."
1085
00:52:22,723 --> 00:52:23,973
It's very beautiful.
1086
00:52:24,141 --> 00:52:26,059
I'm a little afraid of these pokey things
1087
00:52:26,268 --> 00:52:27,769
that are sticking out.
1088
00:52:27,978 --> 00:52:30,396
- They're apple blossoms.
- Is that what they're called?
1089
00:52:30,606 --> 00:52:32,107
These apple blossoms are right at eye height,
1090
00:52:32,316 --> 00:52:34,901
and I'm so afraid somebody could
come over to sniff, to admire,
1091
00:52:35,111 --> 00:52:38,613
and just get an eye poked out.
I'd love to clip it off.
1092
00:52:38,823 --> 00:52:40,615
If we could get a shape to these things,
1093
00:52:40,825 --> 00:52:41,950
that's my basic creative issues.
1094
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:43,618
I have a health and safety issue.
1095
00:52:43,828 --> 00:52:44,994
Those viny things down there.
1096
00:52:45,204 --> 00:52:46,329
They're a disaster.
1097
00:52:46,539 --> 00:52:48,456
They're too low, they're too tangly.
1098
00:52:48,666 --> 00:52:51,126
They're just, like, waiting for
an elderly person to wheel by
1099
00:52:51,335 --> 00:52:53,169
or somebody in a walker,
1100
00:52:53,379 --> 00:52:55,255
or with a brace on their leg or something.
1101
00:52:55,464 --> 00:52:57,507
You know, a lot of my family is beyond old, and--
1102
00:52:57,716 --> 00:52:59,801
Well, you know, I've got a great idea.
1103
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:01,302
Why don't we just get some carnations
1104
00:53:01,512 --> 00:53:03,721
and a beer stein and just put them right up here.
1105
00:53:03,931 --> 00:53:05,181
I don't see how that would work.
1106
00:53:06,308 --> 00:53:08,393
I've adopted the practice
1107
00:53:08,602 --> 00:53:11,688
of taking care of my skin.
1108
00:53:11,897 --> 00:53:13,648
It's something...
1109
00:53:13,858 --> 00:53:17,068
you know, sometimes you get razzed a little bit.
1110
00:53:17,278 --> 00:53:18,486
I think Jerry was razzing me
1111
00:53:18,696 --> 00:53:21,239
the other day at Alan's house about it.
1112
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,658
He caught me in the bathroom
1113
00:53:23,868 --> 00:53:26,578
and I did that thing where
I put my hands down very quickly
1114
00:53:26,787 --> 00:53:28,580
and he said, "Oh, what are you doing there?"
1115
00:53:28,789 --> 00:53:33,251
But really Norwegian fishermen
1116
00:53:33,460 --> 00:53:35,503
have used hand cream for centuries.
1117
00:53:35,713 --> 00:53:38,339
And with that regimen, and it's a very simple one,
1118
00:53:38,549 --> 00:53:40,175
I know that when I walk out on-stage tonight,
1119
00:53:40,384 --> 00:53:42,385
I will-- My skin
1120
00:53:42,553 --> 00:53:45,263
will look its best in front of 2000 people.
1121
00:53:45,472 --> 00:53:47,432
That will give me the confidence
1122
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,934
that will help me to play my best
1123
00:53:50,144 --> 00:53:53,271
and sing my best and be my best
1124
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,816
and you can't put a price on that.
1125
00:53:57,026 --> 00:53:59,027
Tammy, we all set on the pre-record?
1126
00:53:59,236 --> 00:54:00,028
Yeah.
1127
00:54:00,237 --> 00:54:01,529
Good, thanks.
1128
00:54:01,739 --> 00:54:03,740
You know, I produced a reunion show before.
1129
00:54:03,949 --> 00:54:06,701
Before I came to PBN I did the Good Times reunion.
1130
00:54:06,911 --> 00:54:09,746
And people said they wanted more close-ups.
1131
00:54:09,955 --> 00:54:11,831
I want to make sure we get plenty of close-ups.
1132
00:54:12,041 --> 00:54:14,542
I can assure you we have plenty
of close-ups scheduled.
1133
00:54:14,752 --> 00:54:16,377
Another thing would be great,
1134
00:54:16,587 --> 00:54:19,380
would be one of those great shots where you pull back
1135
00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:22,300
to see the enormity of the event and the venue.
1136
00:54:22,509 --> 00:54:25,094
Would be a crane. Do we have a crane standing by?
1137
00:54:25,304 --> 00:54:26,221
I can't remember.
1138
00:54:26,430 --> 00:54:28,014
- No, we don't have a crane.
- Wow!
1139
00:54:28,224 --> 00:54:29,974
You know those kind of swooping shots
1140
00:54:30,184 --> 00:54:31,559
where it goes over the audience
1141
00:54:31,769 --> 00:54:34,812
and hammers in on a shot
of one of the musicians playing?
1142
00:54:35,022 --> 00:54:36,731
- That would be great.
- It would be.
1143
00:54:36,941 --> 00:54:40,944
Or when they pull back, kind
of like a California Adventure
1144
00:54:41,153 --> 00:54:43,363
ride where you get to see
the whole scope of the thing,
1145
00:54:43,572 --> 00:54:44,739
that would be very nice too.
1146
00:54:44,949 --> 00:54:46,741
It would be.
1147
00:54:46,951 --> 00:54:49,869
I could make some calls, if you
want, if we could get one.
1148
00:54:50,079 --> 00:54:51,287
I don't know if it's too late.
1149
00:54:51,497 --> 00:54:53,331
All right, here's your giant banjo.
1150
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:55,208
It's very flat.
1151
00:54:55,417 --> 00:54:57,543
Well, it doesn't look flat from in the audience.
1152
00:54:57,753 --> 00:55:00,421
It has basically no dimension to it.
1153
00:55:00,631 --> 00:55:02,548
Well, it's painted to look three-dimensional.
1154
00:55:02,758 --> 00:55:03,967
If you go back there--
1155
00:55:04,176 --> 00:55:05,385
But it's not painted on the back.
1156
00:55:05,594 --> 00:55:07,136
Can you--? Will you look with me for a minute?
1157
00:55:07,346 --> 00:55:08,721
Why would it be--?
1158
00:55:08,931 --> 00:55:11,432
From the audience it's going to look perfectly fine.
1159
00:55:11,642 --> 00:55:12,725
It looks three-dimensional.
1160
00:55:12,935 --> 00:55:14,352
Just go out there and take a peek.
1161
00:55:14,561 --> 00:55:16,938
Is this the real furniture
or this the rehearsal furniture?
1162
00:55:17,147 --> 00:55:19,190
Well, A: it's not called "furniture." It's a set.
1163
00:55:19,358 --> 00:55:20,566
And it's painted this way.
1164
00:55:20,776 --> 00:55:22,277
It looks completely three-dimensional
1165
00:55:22,486 --> 00:55:24,862
from the audience. If you just
go out that way, Mr. Steinbloom.
1166
00:55:25,072 --> 00:55:27,407
So this is the real furniture, and this is...
1167
00:55:27,616 --> 00:55:29,492
Is this an actual street lamp?
1168
00:55:29,702 --> 00:55:31,286
I'm sure it was at one time.
1169
00:55:31,495 --> 00:55:34,706
Can you have an actual three-dimensional object
1170
00:55:34,915 --> 00:55:37,333
that represents the thing that it actually is,
1171
00:55:37,543 --> 00:55:40,295
can that be next to something
that it's pretending to be?
1172
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:42,088
Yes, it's perfectly fine.
1173
00:55:42,298 --> 00:55:44,507
You know, I really don't have
time to explain Stagecraft 101.
1174
00:55:44,717 --> 00:55:46,134
This show starts in an hour.
1175
00:55:46,343 --> 00:55:47,510
Now everything is exactly the way you--
1176
00:55:47,678 --> 00:55:48,803
What-- What's that--
1177
00:55:49,013 --> 00:55:50,555
Those are lights hanging up there?
1178
00:55:50,764 --> 00:55:53,391
Yes, those are lights, and that's a ceiling above us!
1179
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,560
- But they look shaky.
- No, they're not shaky.
1180
00:55:55,769 --> 00:55:56,936
They're perfectly--
1181
00:55:57,146 --> 00:55:58,980
Is that wire? I see a wire. I see a-- Ow!
1182
00:56:09,616 --> 00:56:13,119
Fellas, thanks a lot for coming
and doing this for Dad.
1183
00:56:13,329 --> 00:56:14,996
Yeah, honestly, that's so beautiful.
1184
00:56:15,205 --> 00:56:18,207
And thank you for the flowers, the little banjo.
1185
00:56:18,417 --> 00:56:19,625
Did you like that?
1186
00:56:19,835 --> 00:56:21,210
We had to get rid of the lavender
1187
00:56:21,420 --> 00:56:22,920
because it attacked my eyes.
1188
00:56:23,130 --> 00:56:24,213
Sorry about that.
1189
00:56:24,381 --> 00:56:25,798
Listen, the thought was wonderful.
1190
00:56:26,008 --> 00:56:28,426
I remember you guys being in the house and...
1191
00:56:28,635 --> 00:56:30,678
I remember you were always, Elliott,
1192
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:32,722
you were always trying to get a poker game started.
1193
00:56:32,931 --> 00:56:35,475
You were, like, 15 years old
1194
00:56:35,684 --> 00:56:38,519
with a deck of cards in your hands.
1195
00:56:38,729 --> 00:56:40,021
- Penny stakes.
- Yeah.
1196
00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:42,023
You guys would always tease me with those card games.
1197
00:56:42,232 --> 00:56:44,108
You taught me cards for heaven's sake.
1198
00:56:44,318 --> 00:56:47,653
Yeah, we didn't know you were
gonna turn into a monster on us.
1199
00:57:00,167 --> 00:57:01,084
Mitch.
1200
00:57:01,293 --> 00:57:02,251
Hm?
1201
00:57:02,461 --> 00:57:03,836
You okay?
1202
00:57:04,046 --> 00:57:05,963
Yes.
1203
00:57:23,357 --> 00:57:25,358
This flame, like all flames,
1204
00:57:25,567 --> 00:57:27,402
represents the light and the darkness.
1205
00:57:27,611 --> 00:57:28,903
It also represents
1206
00:57:29,113 --> 00:57:31,781
the uncertainty of life and its delicacy.
1207
00:57:31,990 --> 00:57:34,325
It also represents a penis.
1208
00:57:35,702 --> 00:57:40,039
♪♪ Red, orange, yellow Green, blue ♪♪
1209
00:57:40,249 --> 00:57:45,545
♪♪ Indigo, violet ♪♪
1210
00:57:45,754 --> 00:57:47,255
Ten seconds to air.
1211
00:57:47,464 --> 00:57:49,757
Roll pre-record on my count.
1212
00:57:49,967 --> 00:57:51,592
Seven,
1213
00:57:51,802 --> 00:57:54,929
six, five, four,
1214
00:57:55,139 --> 00:57:57,265
three, two.
1215
00:57:57,474 --> 00:57:59,684
Roll A. Fade up on A.
1216
00:58:04,064 --> 00:58:07,275
PBN New York is proud to present:
1217
00:58:07,484 --> 00:58:11,237
Live from Town Hall, Ode to Irving
1218
00:58:11,447 --> 00:58:13,531
an evening of folk music.
1219
00:58:13,740 --> 00:58:16,576
Featuring The New Main Street Singers,
1220
00:58:16,785 --> 00:58:20,955
The Folksmen and Mitch and Mickey.
1221
00:58:21,165 --> 00:58:26,461
And now your host, Mr. Jonathan Steinbloom.
1222
00:58:36,054 --> 00:58:37,805
Hello, I'm Jonathan Steinbloom,
1223
00:58:38,015 --> 00:58:39,265
and before we begin tonight's celebration
1224
00:58:39,475 --> 00:58:41,809
I would like to make a brief announcement.
1225
00:58:42,019 --> 00:58:46,022
I'd like to warn you that some
of the floral arrangements
1226
00:58:46,190 --> 00:58:48,983
at tonight's performance have
dangerously low-hanging vines
1227
00:58:49,193 --> 00:58:51,444
and may be poisonous, so please, whatever you do,
1228
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:53,070
don't eat them.
1229
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,365
And don't become entangled in them or trip, please.
1230
00:59:03,290 --> 00:59:05,833
On behalf of the entire Steinbloom family
1231
00:59:06,043 --> 00:59:09,378
welcome to Ode to Irving.
1232
00:59:11,340 --> 00:59:14,842
Thank you. Thank you.
1233
00:59:15,052 --> 00:59:18,387
Please join all of us and give a really warm welcome
1234
00:59:18,597 --> 00:59:21,682
to our first group about whom Dad used to say
1235
00:59:21,892 --> 00:59:23,518
they were the kind of infectious
1236
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:25,186
that it was good to spread around.
1237
00:59:25,395 --> 00:59:28,231
Ladies and gentlemen, The New Main Street Singers.
1238
00:59:32,486 --> 00:59:34,070
Woo!
1239
00:59:39,368 --> 00:59:41,035
Hi, everybody!
1240
00:59:45,874 --> 00:59:47,542
Yeah!
1241
00:59:47,751 --> 00:59:50,628
Thank you, New York City, for that very warm welcome.
1242
00:59:50,837 --> 00:59:52,088
Gee, I got a question.
1243
00:59:52,297 --> 00:59:55,508

You swear to God you didn't talk
to Menschell about the set?
1263
01:01:11,335 --> 01:01:13,628
You didn't tell him what we were opening with?
1264
01:01:13,837 --> 01:01:15,254
I saw you talking to Terry Bohner kid.
1265
01:01:15,464 --> 01:01:16,839
Him and his blue sweater.
1266
01:01:17,049 --> 01:01:18,716
- I said, "Isn't it warm?"
- Nothing about the set.
1267
01:01:19,926 --> 01:01:22,219
Well, it's getting warmer now.
1268
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:26,974
I don't think finger-pointing
is gonna help us here. I...
1269
01:01:27,184 --> 01:01:28,809
I think it's very clear what we do.
1270
01:01:29,019 --> 01:01:29,977
What's that?
1271
01:01:30,187 --> 01:01:32,313
I'm gonna suggest we be bold.
1272
01:01:32,522 --> 01:01:33,731
Yeah, let's hear it.
1273
01:01:33,940 --> 01:01:36,692
We open with "Wandering."
1274
01:01:36,902 --> 01:01:39,111
Did you miss the last couple of minutes?
1275
01:01:39,321 --> 01:01:41,030
They're currently butchering--
1276
01:01:41,239 --> 01:01:42,823
Turn it back up. You wanna hear it?
1277
01:01:43,033 --> 01:01:44,241
We give the audience a choice.
1278
01:01:44,451 --> 01:01:47,370
We say you can enjoy a toothpaste commercial
1279
01:01:47,579 --> 01:01:49,747
or hear folk music.
1280
01:01:49,956 --> 01:01:51,499
They've brushed their teeth by that time,
1281
01:01:51,708 --> 01:01:53,501
it's not even germane.
1282
01:01:53,710 --> 01:01:55,294
Here's the thing, you can't have on a bill,
1283
01:01:55,504 --> 01:01:56,754
especially a folk bill,
1284
01:01:56,963 --> 01:01:58,589
you cannot have two people doing the same song.
1285
01:01:58,799 --> 01:02:01,967
That doesn't work. They're just
gonna be flat-out confused.

1337
01:05:10,699 --> 01:05:14,118
Boy, that's fun! That's really
fun, man. How did we sound?
1338
01:05:14,327 --> 01:05:17,955
We weren't really listening. We were downstairs.
1339
01:05:18,164 --> 01:05:21,125
I couldn't hear so well, but,
shoot, I'm sorry you guys--

I think this crowd who might want to join us
1389
01:08:30,648 --> 01:08:31,899
in a little audience participation.
1390
01:08:32,108 --> 01:08:33,525
What do you think?
1391
01:08:33,735 --> 01:08:36,487
We're not gonna be working up here by ourselves!
1392
01:08:36,696 --> 01:08:38,739
First time through, you can relax.
1393
01:08:38,948 --> 01:08:40,574
Second time through, we're gonna put you to work.
1394
01:08:40,784 --> 01:08:42,743
Start off with Mr. Alan Barrows
on the 5-string banjo.
1395
01:08:55,465 --> 01:08:57,591

01:09:14,025 --> 01:09:17,027
Oh, my God. Mitch is gone. He's just, he's gone.
1402
01:09:17,237 --> 01:09:19,780
Mitch is gone. Oh, my God.
1403
01:09:19,989 --> 01:09:22,783
Without Mitch, we got gornisht. We have nothing.
1404
01:09:22,992 --> 01:09:25,661
Well, we're gonna go find him.
1405
01:09:28,915 --> 01:09:31,708
Yeah, we're gonna need some
chickens. We got any chickens?
1406
01:09:31,876 --> 01:09:33,836
How about this aisle? Beyond this aisle.
1407
01:09:34,045 --> 01:09:36,130
Just beyond the man with the big shirt.
1408
01:09:36,339 --> 01:09:37,714
I want you to be my chickens.
1409
01:09:37,924 --> 01:09:39,883
I want to hear your best chicken sound right now.
1410
01:09:41,511 --> 01:09:42,636
Pretty good. That's the ticket. You got it.
1411
01:09:42,846 --> 01:09:44,471
Now we want to hear from our horse people.
1412
01:09:44,681 --> 01:09:47,683
This section right here.
Not people with a sore throat,
1413
01:09:47,892 --> 01:09:50,686
people who can do a pretty
believable neigh! Let's hear it.
1414
01:09:52,897 --> 01:09:56,316
We're gonna put a saddle on you folks. Not really.
1415
01:09:56,526 --> 01:09:59,361
Does he have a cell phone or a pager or anything?
1416
01:09:59,571 --> 01:10:00,571
He's wandering. He likes to wander.
1417
01:10:00,780 --> 01:10:03,198
They go on in a couple of minutes!
1418
01:10:03,408 --> 01:10:04,700
He got a little nervous.
1419
01:10:04,909 --> 01:10:06,743
I don't need this tsuris in my life.
1420
01:10:06,911 --> 01:10:09,121
I'm sure it's fine. Let's calm down.
1421
01:10:09,330 --> 01:10:11,832
Is there a cockfight arena near here?
1422
01:10:12,041 --> 01:10:13,500
She's joking, right?
1423
01:10:13,710 --> 01:10:16,211
Well, at least he's not lying
on the ground or anything.
1424
01:10:16,421 --> 01:10:18,422
Why didn't someone go out with him?
1425
01:10:18,590 --> 01:10:19,423
What?
1426
01:10:19,632 --> 01:10:20,841
Can she do these songs solo?
1427
01:10:21,050 --> 01:10:21,925

Give yourselves a big hand.
1441
01:10:46,409 --> 01:10:48,535
Give yourselves a big pat on the back.
1442
01:10:48,745 --> 01:10:50,704
Thank you very, very much for coming.
1443
01:10:50,914 --> 01:10:53,624
Thank you, Irv. Thanks for the good seats.
1444
01:10:53,833 --> 01:10:55,125
We are The Folksmen.
1445
01:10:55,293 --> 01:10:57,002
We hope you've had a wonderful time tonight.
1446
01:10:57,212 --> 01:10:58,545
Thank you, again.
1447
01:10:58,755 --> 01:11:00,297
Thank you. Good night.
1448
01:11:01,799 --> 01:11:05,636
We gotta give them more. We have to give them more.
1449
01:11:07,764 --> 01:11:09,932
Thank you for having us back.
1450
01:11:10,141 --> 01:11:12,559
We have a song we'd like to do called
1451
01:11:12,769 --> 01:11:15,187
"The Skeletons of Quinto."
1452
01:11:15,396 --> 01:11:18,315
We don't often do encores, and this is why.
1453
01:11:20,109 --> 01:11:23,278
It has to do with a time that I often think about
1454
01:11:23,488 --> 01:11:25,322
when this time of year rolls around.
1455
01:11:25,531 --> 01:11:29,076
A time of conflict, unfortunately and bloodshed.
1456
01:11:29,285 --> 01:11:31,745
The Spanish Civil War.
1457
01:11:31,955 --> 01:11:34,164
But our group historian, Mr. Mark Shubb,
1458
01:11:34,374 --> 01:11:36,416
certainly knows more about that than I do.
1459
01:11:36,626 --> 01:11:38,418
Thank you very much, Alan.
1460
01:11:38,628 --> 01:11:40,963
In the late 1930s of the last century,
1461
01:11:41,172 --> 01:11:43,382
Spain was wracked by civil war.
1462
01:11:43,591 --> 01:11:44,841
What are you doing?
1463
01:11:45,051 --> 01:11:46,885
Mitch could be lying face down in a ditch!
1464
01:11:47,095 --> 01:11:48,929
Would you consider doing both parts?
1465
01:11:49,138 --> 01:11:50,555
No. I'd consider going home
1466
01:11:50,765 --> 01:11:52,891
bake a nice tray of Nanaimo bars,
1467
01:11:53,101 --> 01:11:54,434
lie in bed, watch TV.
1468
01:11:54,644 --> 01:11:56,270
That's what I like doing!
1469
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,146
Oh, my-- Mitch, where the hell were you?
1470
01:11:58,356 --> 01:11:59,273
Are we on?
1471
01:11:59,482 --> 01:12:00,857
You've been on for five minutes.
1472
01:12:01,067 --> 01:12:03,277
It's too late, Mitch. I forgot what a selfish--
1473
01:12:03,486 --> 01:12:06,655
It just took me a while to find a good one.
1474
01:12:08,908 --> 01:12:11,785
That is nice. It's nice.
1475
01:12:14,998 --> 01:12:16,248
Okay.
1476
01:12:16,457 --> 01:12:20,627
In the late summer, early fall of 1938
1477
01:12:20,837 --> 01:12:23,588
so the story goes behind this particular song
1478
01:12:23,798 --> 01:12:27,009
in the green hills just outside the city of Bar--
1479
01:12:28,678 --> 01:12:29,720
Good night, everybody!
1480
01:12:29,929 --> 01:12:31,888
Good night. Thank you very much.
1481
01:12:45,278 --> 01:12:48,989
They're called The Folksmen,
but after tonight's performance
1482
01:12:49,198 --> 01:12:52,159
I think we're all going to have
to call them "The Spokesmen"
1483
01:12:52,368 --> 01:12:54,077
because they sing beautifully
1484
01:12:54,287 --> 01:12:57,164
and they tell a fascinating story.
1485
01:12:57,373 --> 01:13:00,667
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
I have two words for you:
1486
01:13:00,877 --> 01:13:03,712
Mitch and Mickey.
1487
01:13:11,554 --> 01:13:12,929
We love you!
1488
01:13:25,568 --> 01:13:27,235
Thank you.
1489
01:13:27,445 --> 01:13:30,781
Thank you so much for letting
Mitch and I do this again.
1490
01:13:30,990 --> 01:13:34,534
It does not seem like just
yesterday that Mitch and I met
1491
01:13:34,744 --> 01:13:37,537
and started making music together.
1492
01:13:37,747 --> 01:13:41,291
I don't know if any of you know
or would even remember
1493
01:13:41,501 --> 01:13:44,461
that Mitch and I met in the hospital.
1494
01:13:44,670 --> 01:13:48,298
Mitch was there with his jaw wired shut
1495
01:13:48,508 --> 01:13:52,552
after defending the honor
of a girl he didn't even know.
1496
01:13:52,762 --> 01:13:54,304
Me.
1497
01:13:54,514 --> 01:13:58,850
And I, of course, was there
to visit. I felt really bad.
1498
01:13:59,060 --> 01:14:02,104
And the only way that Mitch could communicate with me
1499
01:14:02,313 --> 01:14:04,439
was on paper.
1500
01:14:04,649 --> 01:14:07,567
Every word of it poetry.
And if you don't mind, Mitch,
1501
01:14:07,777 --> 01:14:10,570
I have the very first poem
1502
01:14:10,780 --> 01:14:13,156
that you wrote me.
1503
01:14:15,368 --> 01:14:19,204
Parched in exile Thirsty for your smile.
1504
01:14:19,414 --> 01:14:22,290
Though silenced behind This barbed-wire mask
1505
01:14:22,500 --> 01:14:25,127
Your spirit burns through That I might bask
1506
01:14:25,336 --> 01:14:28,964
In your cool, misty loveliness.
1507
01:14:33,010 --> 01:14:36,388

1583
01:20:31,702 --> 01:20:34,829
So the morning after the big show at Town Hall
1584
01:20:35,039 --> 01:20:36,289
the TV network executives
1585
01:20:36,499 --> 01:20:37,999
were crawling out of the woodwork
1586
01:20:38,209 --> 01:20:41,586
trying to get The New Main
Street Singers into a TV series.
1587
01:20:41,796 --> 01:20:45,340
We took some very nice meetings. I ran over my ideas.
1588
01:20:45,549 --> 01:20:49,969
They loved my idea where the kids played babies.
1589
01:20:50,179 --> 01:20:53,348
You know, in diapers. And...
1590
01:20:53,557 --> 01:20:58,269
It always makes me laugh
to see babies talk like adults.
1591
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:01,564
The network execs said, "Look, we're not sitting
1592
01:21:01,774 --> 01:21:03,107
"in judgment of your ideas.
1593
01:21:03,317 --> 01:21:05,485
We love the kids, we wanna put them on a series."
1594
01:21:05,694 --> 01:21:08,988
And the word "judgment,"
a light went on over my head!
1595
01:21:09,198 --> 01:21:11,658
I always thought there were 12 Supreme Court judges
1596
01:21:11,867 --> 01:21:14,786
but now it seems there are only nine.
1597
01:21:14,995 --> 01:21:17,038
I don't know if it's a budget thing or not.
1598
01:21:17,248 --> 01:21:20,166
But there's also nine New Main Street Singers.
1599
01:21:20,376 --> 01:21:21,668
And I thought,
1600
01:21:21,877 --> 01:21:24,838
"What if they were the Supreme Court judges?"
1601
01:21:25,047 --> 01:21:29,050
And it was my idea to call them "The Supreme Folk."
1602
01:21:29,218 --> 01:21:30,301
Tying in the folk singing.
1603
01:21:30,511 --> 01:21:33,346
And here's the idea. During the day,
1604
01:21:33,556 --> 01:21:35,473
they're handling some of the top,
1605
01:21:35,683 --> 01:21:37,809
most difficult cases in the land.
1606
01:21:38,018 --> 01:21:40,103
There's a lot of tension there.
1607
01:21:40,312 --> 01:21:43,189
And at night, and this is what sold the networks
1608
01:21:43,399 --> 01:21:47,485
they live in one big house
and they take off their robes
1609
01:21:47,695 --> 01:21:49,320
and sing folk songs.
1610
01:21:49,530 --> 01:21:52,448
Now, maybe during the day
they hear death penalty cases,
1611
01:21:52,616 --> 01:21:56,369
and at night they argue about
who cooks dinner or who does
1612
01:21:56,579 --> 01:21:59,747
the laundry or, "Say, why don't
the ladies bring the coffee?"
1613
01:21:59,957 --> 01:22:01,958
"And that's sexual harassment!
1614
01:22:02,167 --> 01:22:06,713
That was decided in case 126, Johnson vs.--"
1615
01:22:06,922 --> 01:22:10,383
Oh, I like that. The women, sexual discrimination.
1616
01:22:10,593 --> 01:22:14,262
I'm not doing much writing,
but the ideas keep popping.
1617
01:22:14,471 --> 01:22:19,100
♪♪ Piston or bulb syringe ♪♪
1618
01:22:19,268 --> 01:22:22,937

1623
01:22:38,537 --> 01:22:40,914
I'm a musician again.
1624
01:22:41,123 --> 01:22:46,127
Being on-stage again with Mitch was a great thing.
1625
01:22:46,337 --> 01:22:49,589
Oh, boy. I never thought it was possible.
1626
01:22:49,798 --> 01:22:51,633
And there we were.
1627
01:22:53,218 --> 01:22:56,930
Just wish he didn't take things so seriously.
1628
01:22:57,139 --> 01:22:59,599
You know. That damn kiss.
1629
01:22:59,808 --> 01:23:02,268
My sister-- Well, they were all at the show,
1630
01:23:02,478 --> 01:23:04,062
but my sister Jocelyn said:
1631
01:23:04,271 --> 01:23:06,481
"You led him on. You shouldn't have kissed him
1632
01:23:06,690 --> 01:23:09,692
if you didn't wanna go all the way."
1633
01:23:09,902 --> 01:23:12,779
It was just a kiss. And it's part of--
1634
01:23:12,988 --> 01:23:14,447
The audience was there waiting for it.
1635
01:23:14,657 --> 01:23:16,574
And I forgot what that feels like
1636
01:23:16,784 --> 01:23:20,870
where you get caught up in the heat of the moment
1637
01:23:21,038 --> 01:23:23,706
and you just, you know, you want to give them
1638
01:23:23,916 --> 01:23:26,751
anything they want.
1639
01:23:26,961 --> 01:23:29,170
I think Mitch...
1640
01:23:29,338 --> 01:23:31,965
I didn't lead him on. But he...
1641
01:23:32,174 --> 01:23:35,176
took it the wrong way, I think.
1642
01:23:35,386 --> 01:23:40,473
I've never been in better head space.
1643
01:23:40,683 --> 01:23:43,893
I'm writing poetry again.
1644
01:23:44,103 --> 01:23:50,775
I'm going through a very prolific phase.
1645
01:23:50,985 --> 01:23:56,948
Ideas are coming faster than I can write them.
1646
01:23:57,157 --> 01:24:01,703
My one fear in getting together with Mickey was
1647
01:24:01,912 --> 01:24:06,040
always that it might rekindle...
1648
01:24:08,419 --> 01:24:12,547
feelings that she used to have for me.
1649
01:24:12,715 --> 01:24:16,926
I feel badly that she was misled
1650
01:24:17,136 --> 01:24:22,515
by the theatrics of the moment.
1651
01:24:22,725 --> 01:24:26,853
But I think it was a wonderful time
1652
01:24:27,062 --> 01:24:28,938
that we both had together.
1653
01:24:29,148 --> 01:24:34,402
I know that I will always think of her fondly
1654
01:24:34,611 --> 01:24:38,281
every time I see a rose.
1655
01:24:40,409 --> 01:24:42,243
Things have been really going well.
1656
01:24:42,453 --> 01:24:45,038
We've got some gigs here working at the casinos.
1657
01:24:45,247 --> 01:24:47,373
It has been a time of changes,
1658
01:24:47,583 --> 01:24:50,084
but change is good. Change is life.
1659
01:24:51,503 --> 01:24:56,466
It was like a great big door
opening for me, Town Hall.
1660
01:24:56,675 --> 01:24:59,677
After that concert I realized
1661
01:24:59,887 --> 01:25:01,888
I wanna spend as much of the rest of my life
1662
01:25:02,097 --> 01:25:05,516
as possible playing folk music with these gentlemen.
1663
01:25:05,726 --> 01:25:06,851
Right back at you.
1664
01:25:07,061 --> 01:25:09,395
And I wanna spend all of it as a woman.
1665
01:25:09,605 --> 01:25:13,524
I came to a realization that I was,
1666
01:25:13,734 --> 01:25:17,570
and am a blond, female folk singer
1667
01:25:17,780 --> 01:25:20,573
trapped in the body of a bald, male folk singer
1668
01:25:20,783 --> 01:25:27,872
and I had to let me out or I would die.
1669
01:25:28,082 --> 01:25:29,916
When you put it that way, it's almost poetry.
1670
01:25:30,125 --> 01:25:31,417
