Podcast appearances and mentions of barry louis polisar

Send us a textFull disclosure. My wife, Marcy, went to High School with Barry Polisar. They were friends and Barry would sometimes play his songs for her. So, when we went to Marcy's 25th high school reunion I was able to put a face to the name. Marcy had made me aware of Barry and his success as a writer and performer. Frankly, I was more than a little jealous of Barry and his success, making his living as a songwriter and performer. I have been writing songs since high school and had had piddling success. So, I purposefully didn't really pay much attention to Barry's successes as his career progressed.Boy, what a mistake. Consequently, I wasn't sure of what to expect when I went to interview Barry at his home. What I found was a most gracious and talented person who clearly had worked hard and deserved all the success he has achieved. Barry's story was so interesting and had so many twists and turns, I couldn't help but be charmed by the man.This is part 2 of my conversation with Barry Louis Polisar, a renowned singer/songwriter, performer, poet and author of books for both kids and adults.  If you haven't listened to part 1, I strongly suggest that you do so before listening to this episode.  In part one we introduced Barry and found out about his early years, his origin story, and his career as a songwriter, singer and performer of children's songs. As we ended the last podcast, Barry had just been censored from performing at most of his usual schools. In this episode we'll find out what happened and how Barry's career expanded into movies and ads. And we'll hear about some of Barry's prose and poetry. Then, finally, we'll hear about what's next for this talent. Support the showPlease consider making a one time donation via the Paypal link aboveOr, consider becoming a monthly subscribing patron of the show here:https://www.patreon.com/timtunesAnd get lots of extra documentation and music associated with the show.

Send us a textImagine that you write and perform your own children's songs. For years you have been performing these songs in various schools and school systems across the country. Songs that you wrote and have been playing in the same schools for years. And then imagine that someone in the school system suddenly decides that your songs are not appropriate for children because they encourage bad behavior. Then another school system hears about it and they ban you and your songs as well? Soon the entire country is reconsidering their take on your brand of children's songs. What happens next? What do you do? Where can you turn? Pura Vida. I'm Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes podcast. In his episode we'll be interviewing Barry Louis Polisar. Barry is a renowned singer/songwriter, performer, poet and novelist. His career spans almost 5 decades and has so many twists and turns we'll need two episodes to fit them all in. In this episode we'll discover Barry's beginnings: how he started and what led him to success he's had as a writer of children's songs. So, sit back, buckle up and come along for the ride. Support the showPlease consider making a one time donation via the Paypal link aboveOr, consider becoming a monthly subscribing patron of the show here:https://www.patreon.com/timtunesAnd get lots of extra documentation and music associated with the show.

Barry Louis Polisar is Steve's guest today. He wrote the theme song to that great movie Juno, "All I want is you." He's also written some great children's songs. You get a funny title and the song writes itself. How about "My Brother Threw Up On My Stuffed Toy Bunny" or "You Can't Say BPPPP On The Radio." Anyway, he's singing a song that was featured on Sesame Street, "I Gotta Dog And My Dog's Name Is Cat." Harry won a dinosaur kit at a Paleontology Festival and is putting up a life size replica of a Tyrannosaurus. It's funny. In the same vein, Steve sings a song he wrote called "The Museum Of Natural History" with a great band behind him.

Today's guest is Barry Louis Polisar. Barry has been writing and performing songs since the late 70's. His big hit was the theme song to Juno, "All I want is You". His inimitable voice and guitar playing is immediately recognizable. Barry has written other great songs, just from the titles you can tell how funny he is- "I Wanna Be A Dog", "My Brother Threw Up On My Stuffed Toy Bunny", "I've Got A Dog And My Dog's Name Is Cat". Today, he's playing a love song he wrote about his wife but with a twist. "I Love Your Eyes," but he loves a lot of other stuff about her too. Steve's also featuring a traditional song from an album called "Silly Songs About Silly People" that was distributed nationally with the Troll National Book Club called "The Bold Fisherman." He recorded it with Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, two great performers in their own right. Jay wrote the theme song to Ken Burn's Civil War and Molly was a member of the Prairie Home Companion house band for years; and Steve decides to name his cells...yep everyone of them. Yikes!

A tribute to my recently departed nemesis, Bobb the cat, kicked us off with some kid-friendly cat songs and some more "music for the entire household." Not being ones to kid around forever, we veered off into some more serious territory with some songs about violence, robbery, and going to hell (courtesy of a Clash tribute set). We also previewed upcoming shows by Ian Kelly and Ridley Bent. And, it's Oscar time again, and although we don't really give a hoot about movies, that Crazy Heart song and soundtrack are awesome, so we heard some of that and and a couple of other cinematic classics.
