Speaker 2: for people to call in who have met the Winnakers,
Speaker 2: have experience a Winnakers show. I have. I've seen them
Speaker 2: on a couple of occasions, and it would seem all

Speaker 2: glowing review of what Bill and Bow did for them
Speaker 2: at their function. So if you've had a similar experience,
Speaker 2: here's your chance to thank the gentlemen. And after this
Speaker 2: next call, I'm going to let them tell their backstory.
Speaker 2: Who was a Josephine who called in and was talking
Speaker 2: about a young Bow in elementary school doing that legendary
Speaker 2: song Midnight in Moscow. Not an easy song to play
Speaker 2: on a trumpet or any instrument for an eight year
Speaker 2: old kid, but he did it, talented young man that
Speaker 2: he was, and when he was eight, which was just
Speaker 2: what ten or fifteen years ago, more or less all right,
Speaker 2: that'll work. Let's take a call from Brighton Glenn. Hello again, Hi.
Speaker 3: I had to call it the Winnakers because I owe em.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I'm not chastising you. Go ahead, No,
Speaker 2: I know.

Speaker 3: Glenn's calls.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what else do you want to say to
Speaker 2: Bill and Bot? Why are you here?
Speaker 3: I just want to say, is it did you say

Speaker 7: Oh this is such a pleasure. Yeah. So I am
Speaker 7: in New York City. Although I am a native Bustonian,
Speaker 7: I grew up in Brookline, and I have to say
Speaker 7: that the Winnaker Brothers music is unfailingly comfort food for
Speaker 7: the soul that it is just you cannot go to
Speaker 7: one of their concerts without knowing that this is going
Speaker 7: to be just magnificent and you're going to come out stealing, wonderful.
Speaker 2: Marjorie hold On, I have one question. Then I'm going
Speaker 2: to step out and let you just speak to Bill
Speaker 2: and Bow. Oh you lived in Brookline. Did you go
Speaker 2: to Brookline High?
Speaker 7: I most certainly did.
Speaker 2: And what year did you graduate from Brookline High?
Speaker 7: Well, that's a funny question because I actually didn't technically graduate.
Speaker 7: I would I should have graduated in nineteen seventy. I
Speaker 7: was in the class of nineteen seventy, but I skipped
Speaker 7: my senior year. So I actually left the high school
Speaker 7: in sixty nine and eventually got a diploma. I went
Speaker 7: to college a year early.
Speaker 2: In other words, conceivably, then we knew each other because
Speaker 2: I was there from sixty seven to seventy one.
Speaker 7: Definitely cross We definitely cross paths some of the same teachers.
Speaker 7: Where did you live in Brookline?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I did live in Brookline. I was a medical transfer student.
Speaker 2: My homeroom was three sixty three. Missus Nardone was my
Speaker 2: homeroom teacher.
Speaker 7: Oh was that? My homeroom was two twenty six, right,
Speaker 7: and my, oh my goodness. Bertrand Hollam was the present
Speaker 7: was the principal?
Speaker 2: Yes, right?
Speaker 7: And then he was replaced by Well. I was there
Speaker 7: during the days of britt Holland.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I was. I was there for two of
Speaker 2: his years, the last two of his years.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I think MECO started like when I around the
Speaker 7: time that I was at the high school.
Speaker 2: They started, They started the sixty six sixty seven school year,
Speaker 2: and I came in the sixty seven sixty eight school year.
Speaker 7: Okay, so I sixty seven sixty eight was my freshman Yeah,
Speaker 7: with my freshman year in high school.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we probably know each other. Yeah, Okay, Now
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.
Speaker 7: Did you get the brownies at the high school in
Speaker 7: the cafeteria and Ethan in the quadrangle?
Speaker 2: Oh? Partially yes, sometimes.
Speaker 7: Yes, And I'm going to I'm going to lunch four years.

Speaker 2: Bill, Just for you go ahead and talk.
Speaker 4: Hi Yah, great to hear from you. We've had such
Speaker 4: wonderful times with your family.
Speaker 7: I know, I know such such wonderful times. And as
Speaker 7: you know, my mother may she rest in peace, was
Speaker 7: one of your biggest chans and just was always so
Speaker 7: happy to see you and happy to hear you and
Speaker 7: such a booster, and she and we always commented on
Speaker 7: what kind and respectful and talented, gracious, modest brothers you were,
Speaker 7: and it gave her a lot of comfort. And I
Speaker 7: don't know if you recall this, but when she turned
Speaker 7: ninety nine, we went to Brothers where you were then
Speaker 7: playing in Brookline for her ninety ninth birthday, and then
Speaker 7: the following you when she turned out and she said,
Speaker 7: then well, I have to have my hundredth birthday, and
Speaker 7: then COVID hit, and if you recall, asked you to
Speaker 7: do a recording session for her in one of your
Speaker 7: studios during COVID, which we then gave to her on
Speaker 7: her one hundredth birthday. Do you remember that, Oh.
Speaker 4: We remember very well. We made a great video for
Speaker 4: her of all her favorite songs, and that was special.
Speaker 4: That was a great project. We love doing it in It.
Speaker 7: Was a great project before. I mean, I it's it's
Speaker 7: funny that, like all those years in Brookline and Newton
Speaker 7: and you know, all those places where we all were circulating,
Speaker 7: that that we came to really know you much later
Speaker 7: in the game. I mean, you guys were well into
Speaker 7: your careers when we well into your careers when we really.
Speaker 2: Got to know.
Speaker 7: I mean, we knew we had the CD with the
Speaker 7: Stellcats that I did always have as a child, but
Speaker 7: that beyond that, we really didn't really have you in
Speaker 7: our consciousness.
Speaker 3: Until we did. And then.
Speaker 4: Well it sure is blazoned.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, you're so nice to take the time to call
Speaker 5: us tonight. Well, you just appreciate it so much.
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm I'm so happy to be doing it. And
Speaker 7: I it's funny because I am such a techno folk
Speaker 7: so I had to practice today how to how to
Speaker 7: get myself into w b z H so that I
Speaker 7: could actually figure out how to call you, But I
Speaker 7: did it.
Speaker 4: Well, we're so appreciative of that. You know. The one
Speaker 4: of the most special times of our career was playing
Speaker 4: that memorial concert for your brother not too long ago.
Speaker 7: It was a great day, it was It was such
Speaker 7: a high for us and would have been such a
Speaker 7: high for her. It was beautiful. And I'm actually so
Speaker 7: glad to be speaking to you on July fourth, because
Speaker 7: I know how patriotic we all are. And I'm glad
Speaker 7: actually that I happened to call in right before you
Speaker 7: played bo Yeah, yeah, I needed I needed my share
Speaker 7: of like something paideeotic tonight.
Speaker 5: Well we'll play one more patriotic song before the end
Speaker 5: of the night.
Speaker 7: Oh that's good to know. Okay, Okay, I'll stick it out.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 7: The funny thing about calling into the WBZ, it's so
Speaker 7: odd for me because I don't know if you remember,
Speaker 7: but as children from wm ex is on for several
Speaker 7: years at seven o'clock in the morning, they had this
Speaker 7: thing where you called in and you could sing along
Speaker 7: with Chubby. You could sing Hooker took on my soda
Speaker 7: cracker with Chubby Checker and it was like, I think
Speaker 7: it was wu Wuginsburg, but I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 2: Not at seven o'clock in the morning. It might have
Speaker 2: been Emperor.
Speaker 7: Now this was seven in the morning because I called
Speaker 7: religiously every morning, okay, and one day.
Speaker 3: I got onnest.
Speaker 7: It was very exciting. And then and then when I
Speaker 7: heard it, of course, the whole thing had like a
Speaker 7: seven minute, you know, seven second delay. I was just
Speaker 7: so impressed that I actually was able to get onto
Speaker 7: a Boston talk show radio show.
Speaker 2: I could sing the whole thing, but I won't.
Speaker 7: You know, what the what does that song even mean?
Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing. Was just another record by Chubby Checker, hoping
Speaker 2: the novelty of it would sell oodles and oodles.
Speaker 3: Of records, which apparently it did.
Speaker 2: Apparently it did. Yeah, all right, Majorie, I'm almost up
Speaker 2: to a break time, but thank you for calling.
Speaker 7: Oh again, well, and thank you by the way. I
Speaker 7: just I heard more ads about Boston than I've heard
Speaker 7: in decades. So k I live in New York, and
Speaker 7: as you know, there's no lack of music in New York.
Speaker 7: But there is nothing with the character, nothing of the
Speaker 7: character of the Winnaker brothers here, nothing that is so
Speaker 7: both intimate and can be small, can be large, can
Speaker 7: be relied on to always be down to earth and
Speaker 7: wonderful to big part of so anyhow, congratulations to Bill
Speaker 7: and Bow and many many, many more years I hope,

Speaker 6: It's great. I mean, there's always a big group of
Speaker 6: people there. It's always full house. Everybody has a lot
Speaker 6: of energy, a lot of musical performing artists go in there,

Speaker 2: Bow Winnaker. Andrea, welcome aboard.
Speaker 9: Thank you, Hi everybody.
Speaker 5: Happy for name to you.
Speaker 4: Great to hear your voice.
Speaker 9: It's me. I told you I'm here. Yay, okay. First
Speaker 9: of all, I want to say you know I grew
Speaker 9: thank you. I love these guys. I just want to
Speaker 9: say something quick before I say anything about billan Bow,
Speaker 9: which is important. I grew up with a mom who
Speaker 9: was into Broadway, and we had how to succeed in
Speaker 9: business without really trying, playing in the house all the time,
Speaker 9: as well as Bye Bye Birdie and you know, hundreds
Speaker 9: of brothers. So I mean, I listened to those songs
Speaker 9: growing up all the time in the seventies.
Speaker 2: Did you agree with me when I said, probably the
Speaker 2: greatest love song on Broadway is a guy singing it
Speaker 2: to himself because he's trying to boost himself up.
Speaker 9: Well, I think the theory is nice. I think it's
Speaker 9: a little more I think it's a little more romantic
Speaker 9: when he's looking at someone else. But I suppose the
Speaker 9: fact that he's looking at himself is a nice thought. Well,
Speaker 9: you know, I.
Speaker 2: Think he loved his girlfriend Rosemary Jay.
Speaker 9: Is Yeah, like Morris Day with the mirror, But that's okay. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so Bill and Bow I love these guys. I actually
Speaker 9: we had them perform for us a couple of times
Speaker 9: for a wonderful charity north of Boston called Grateful Friends,
Speaker 9: and they came in and what I really love about them,
Speaker 9: aside from their their obvious talent, is the fact that
Speaker 9: they are there's they're wonderful humans. They're just so kind,
Speaker 9: They're always they have this beautiful aura about them, positivity.
Speaker 9: There's just there's a there's a warmth that is consistent
Speaker 9: in the family. And I think that's really what what
Speaker 9: is sort of the cherry on top. I guess as
Speaker 9: they say.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, I agree. I said that during the first
Speaker 2: hour that once you've become friendly with them and they've
Speaker 2: become friendly with you, it's a lifelong friendship. I really
Speaker 2: not seeing them unable to remember appearing at an event.
Speaker 2: We've had what twenty something calls tonight up to now,
Speaker 2: and every person says, I love what you guys did
Speaker 2: you did this with my mother. We we had you
Speaker 2: at this event, this wedding, and they recall every incident.
Speaker 9: That's because they're humble and they don't forget anything or anyone,
Speaker 9: and that's very special. They don't take anything for granted.
Speaker 9: I'm just telling you that's how I mean. I think
Speaker 9: everyone would agree with that. But I mean even when
Speaker 9: they when they meet so we know they're loyal, but
Speaker 9: when they first meet people, even there's an instant, there's
Speaker 9: an instant warmth and connection with pretty much everybody connects
Speaker 9: with the Winnakers because there's we all need people like
Speaker 9: this right now these days.
Speaker 2: And that sentence you just said, everybody connects with the Winnakers.
Speaker 2: Home run statement, home run hands, thank you.
Speaker 9: I slid into home base. Okay, okay, hey, let me
Speaker 9: let me just say something yeah, sure, I.
Speaker 4: Just want to tell you something, Morgan. Yes, Morgan, Andy

Speaker 4: And clear, Ruth, Ruth.
Speaker 5: Great?
Speaker 10: Okay, so this is this was meant to be because
Speaker 10: I was in Shalor House.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, what years?
Speaker 10: Yeah, but way before you, Morgan. I graduated in nineteen
Speaker 10: sixty six, all right, it was Yeah, it.

Speaker 2: The floor is yours, the floor is all.
Speaker 10: Right, you are you already heard from my sister Margie.
Speaker 10: In New York, so I couldn't let her one up me.
Speaker 5: You know, I understand, and I didn't know.
Speaker 10: I didn't hear everything she said, so she probably talked
Speaker 10: about how incredible the Winnkers have been with our late mother,
Speaker 10: who just absolutely adored them, and it was was a
Speaker 10: lover of music and was the lover of the Winnekers.
Speaker 10: So I won't go over all that untase she already
Speaker 10: talked about that. I wanted to just add a couple
Speaker 10: of points that maybe other people didn't say tonight. I
Speaker 10: don't know, first of all, what a pleasure it was
Speaker 10: and hopefully will continue to be to have the Winnakers
Speaker 10: actually perform in my home and Brookline for a big
Speaker 10: birthday a few years ago, and also last summer to
Speaker 10: other members of their group performed from my husband for
Speaker 10: a big birthday in our home. And having the Winnakers
Speaker 10: perform in your home is it's indescribable.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I imagine.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And the other thing I wanted to say is I
Speaker 10: particularly appreciate how much I have actually learned from Bill Winnaker,
Speaker 10: in particular, who, as you know, in concerts, add lots
Speaker 10: of commentary and historical background to every single song they performed.
Speaker 2: I know that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and so it's not it's more than just a
Speaker 10: wonderful listening experience. It's also an educational experience.
Speaker 2: Ruth, thank you for the call. I'm glad you get
Speaker 2: your comments in because I'm almost out of time. But
Speaker 2: for a fellow Shalor House member will show the world
Speaker 2: we will.

Speaker 10: did you have Missus Ogden and mister.
Speaker 2: Wall No, but they were in. They were there teaching.
