From Don: I have been asked by a few people now to upload the chords for my song DREAMS. So here's a little home-made video focusing on the chords. Hope it makes sense and thanks for learning my tune! You can find the whole tune here on my CZcams channel. And don't forget to subscribe! Thanks! Don

Love Greg Evigan's voice!

WHAT a GREAT piece of trivia this is...on SO many levels! Thanks for posting, Don....I JUST found out that you and Josh were in this unaired pilot before the show finally made it to air (2-3 years later???) with just Paul and Greg. Loved the song...I JUST bought the album on eBay!! Here's my favorite part - All four of you guys...on a show about selling your soul to the DEVIL...TWO of you came from Godspell...and TWO of you from Jesus Christ Superstar. Huh??? Huh?
This gave me polyps
Yeah, I vaguely remember this song from the late 1960s. it really captures the ethos of that late, 60s Rock ‘n’ roll, When Rock ‘n’ roll became a good bit more melodically sophisticated. of course as a music school student I’m going to tell you that it could’ve used a lot more development in the build up, and then perhaps one extra iteration in the chorus… But what the hell, you had something of a hit with it, and it’s 55 years too late for the critique. The best to you, Mr. Scardino.😊
Hmmm...except this song is from the mid-70s...
Hi Mr. Scardino. I don’t know if you’re the same Don Scardino that I’ve recently discovered on the old, CBS Mystery Theater radio shows, but you might be… It’s not that common a last name for a performing artist. I can’t verify it visually, not because of your aging, but because at this point, I’m almost totally blind, having spent most of my life as legally blind, before now. your voice is somewhat similar too, but the old radio shows would of course be of someone’s Younger voice in the 1970s. So why am I making this comment?… Not totally sure… But as A teenager, back in the 1970s, I almost became obsessive about the musical Godspell, after seeing it in the Washington DC company, at Ford’s Theatre. I noticed when looking at your Facebook profile, that scotch Byerly, who I remember from that company (He REALLY tore up that show!), and I thought that might be the same guy when I came across the name among your Facebook friends… and If you’re that same Don Scardino. Were you one of the original, Carnegie Mellon university crew of Godspell, or did you join it in New York?… I knew Don Swenson, who was with the show, in some of its early running in days, and a number of other cast members from different companies and iterations as well. Me nowadays?… I am a former, ne’er-do-well, New York City actor (We are Legion.), who is now living in South Florida, where most good New Yorkers go in their afterlife. So I don’t know, just felt like giving you a “Hey You”, or something, while I am sitting around waiting for various medical appointments for eye surgery… a side story all its own. would be awesome if you could answer my questions, but just felt like saying “hi” anyway.

Hey Ryan, I am Guilty as charged! I loved doing those CBS Mystery Radio shows as the producer, Himan Brown, insisted we do them “live” like the old days. Even though we were taping them for a later broadcast date. Still, it was fun to work with so many great actors and the genius who produced all the sound effects. His name, sadly, I don’t remember, but he was a true and original foley artist. I remember Scotch fondly, a great guy, and I know we did the show together for awhile. I did over 1000 performances as Jesus over the course of about 5 years or so. It was a wonderful thing to be a part of; it reached so many people’s hearts. So thanks for remembering! Best, Don

Good Bye Pop!
Is this a Kinoscope? I thought the show with shot on videotape?
The pilot episode, which is what this clip was taken from, was shot on film. In fact the musical sequence was shot by the great Vilmos Zsigmond (Deer Hunter, Close Encounters, etc.). Might have been his first D.P. job in the U.S. The series was shot on tape, as a multicam comedy, with a few different cast members.
@@donscardino9777 thank you so much I had no idea. By chance do you have these episodes? I’ve been looking for them for years and I would do anything to see them.
@@EliteWorksATeBay Unfortunately, I do not. I didn’t continue with the show beyond the pilot (which never aired, by the way). Your best bet would be to contact Norman Lear’s office or CBS and see if the later episodes still exist. I know that an album was released with “Greg and Paul” under the name “A Year at the Top”, I believe. Good luck!
@@donscardino9777 thank you Don, by chance, do you have the entire pilot you could upload?
@@EliteWorksATeBay no; it disappeared long ago. I thought Paul Shaffer had a copy but he didn't either, do it's lost to the ages, I'm afraid. Lucky we still have the song!
A Year at the Top August 1977?
I couldn't love this more!
This is criminally underwatched!
Thank you, Chris!! It was a pretty special live performance of s classic 30 ROCK trope!
Love it!
This is kidney stones level painful
Need more of this in my life Don!
What'ssa guy gotta do to get more Donsongs around this place? Kina makes me miss 2020. :)
Hey, thanks, David! Coming soon!!
2021 needs more Don Scardino.
Workin’ on it. Looks like I’ll play a gig live, this summer, in Manhattan. I’ll post! Thanks, David.
Greg. Was a Genius. .
I remember sitting in the audience when Jesus(you) left the Last Supper scene to bring me a cup of wine. My date was in shock. I was too when as I was leaving a page handed me a bill for $4.50! Just kidding. Great hearing you.
What? $4.50? You were supposed to pick up the check for all my disciples. You think the last supper comes cheap? But seriously, thanks, Gerry!
Thank you for this!
Hi Don just heard your song about Manhattan I’m stuck in West Palm Beach , Florida!! Hate it I’m also a native New Yorker !!!! Missing it so much ! I got my first vaccine after the second one I’m getting on the next plane out NYC!! Can’t wait
Love choose Joy !! You can’t miss feeling good !!! I love your singing!!! Susan Towers
Thanks, Susan! That makes me very happy! I have a couple of pictures of us from “SHOUT...”, too. And every time I pass by what used to be the Renata Theatre I think of that time and our play. Sending love...Don
Hi Don just saw your CZcams on “Son of the Universe’” I loved it !!!! I feel very old too !! Came across pictures of us when we were seventeen!! & I cried silly me !!! 👏
2021, Rules forever
Hi Don I love your positivity! Unfortunately I’m just the opposite!!!! I love your songs & they do make me feel better!!! Stay well !!!!👍🙋🏻♀️
Yes, it’s a tough time, but listen carefully to Joe Biden and his cabinet appointments and plans to govern. It will give you real hope for the future. And thank you for listening! xo Don
@@donscardino9777 go

Thanks, Karl! And a Happy Everything to you, too. Hopefully a better year ahead with adults in charge! xo Don
Happy New Year, Don. 💜
I’ll listen just two more times but then I’m going to sleep. Happy new year!
In my record collection I have an acetate that you made in 1968 at Dick Charles. Do you have/need a copy of this? There are 7 songs on it, including (Movie Day) without the overdubs. I could make a good digital copy if you'd like.......Chris Clem
Thanks, Chris, that’s kind of you to offer, but I have them all; came upon them in a box in our storage unit last year! My voice was very high. Ah, Youth!
@@donscardino9777 Yeah I thought you might still have them. Just checking....Chris
BTW, how is that you have them? Are you old enough to have been there? ;-)
@@donscardino9777 I was 17 in 1968 but I wasn't there. I think I got this at a local swap-meet about 15 years ago, Yucca Valley CA. I may post a song on my CZcams channel, do you mind?....BTW nobody ever likes their own Voice (do they)?....Chris
Greg Evigan y David Cassidy son lo más.

What a treat - I had missed this by mistake and found it tonite - as the vote is now behind us - we need some of those out of tune people to start trying to work together and communicate! Thanks as always - your songs always make me happy.
Beautiful, Don. It helps to know we are all in this together.
Thank you, Siri!
So beautiful... Would be so grateful if you'd post the lyrics to this song -- and to Son of the Universe too!
Like a Band Music & Lyrics by Don Scardino ©️Don Scardino 2020 Years ago I had a band And we spent our time In rock and rhyme And camaraderie Years ago When life was slower Even tho’ the world Was just as mad as ....currently The music held us Like hands up high We’d spend all day just playing away And never die That was years ago And still I know What we had between us Was never a lie Harmony Is not so easy listen to each other So Carefully (When you) do it well You’re in parallel Sisters and Brothers of the Melody In my youth I learned this truth Watched my parents playing On the big bandstand (Man) They could swing But here’s the thing They knew the key to living Life was playing with the band Trust each other Hear one another Playing together like a band All on the same tune It is never too late To communicate And Play Together like a band All on the same tune The life we see Is Like a symphony Sometimes someone’s out of tune Or in the wrong key When you play the chart That’s in your heart You play the song along With all humanity Trust each other Hear one another Playing together like a band All on the same tune It is never too late To Communicate And Play Together like a band All on the same tune On the same tune
@@donscardino9777 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re very welcome. Here are the lyrics for Son of the Universe. And thanks for listening! Son of the Universe Music & Lyrics by Don Scardino ©️Don Scardino 2020 I’m a no nay sayer I'm a sometime prayer a singer of every verse A manifestor I’m a hope for the best-er A son of the Universe I’m a smashed potato A hot tomato a blessing and a curse I’m a soda jerk I’m A piece of work I’m one with the universe BRIDGE You may think that All my beef’s baloney But I’m no phony I’m just living life The best way that I can You may think that I’m a joke That all my dreams go up in smoke But I suspect We all connect From the rejected To the woke I’m a visualizer A hand sanitizer A germ you can disperse I’m a lost and finder A higher minder A son of the Universe I’m a positive thinker a sometime stinker A cut up clown and worse But I believe in love And what it’s capable of Being One with the Universe BRIDGE2 You may think My mind has gone kerblooey But I’m not screwy I’m just living life As if it were a dance You may think That I’m deluded My batteries are Not included But I’m wired up And fired up To give the world a second chance I’m a constant coper No rope-a-doper I’m anything but terse I’m a bedtime story On my way to Glory I'm a son of the Universe I’m a flag unfurled For a big One World a planet so diverse You’re just like me up on the family tree We’re One with the Universe BRIDGE3 You may think this world has made me crazy but I’m not lazy I’m just living life as if it were my last You may think I’ve given up but all the tea leaves in my cup Say it’s alright The future’s bright and After all The past is past I’m a social juster A people truster I’ll never make things worse I wanna Be the plan And take a stand As a son of the Universe A grand solution No substitution No shift into reverse Don’t be misled There’s a path ahead You’re One with the Universe I’m just like you Because you’re One too You're One with the Universe
Oh Greg Evigan ,...you are so talented!!!
Yes... you brought a smile to my face and I'm watching those telling tea leaves....
We ARE the next big ONE. Great song - thanks always.....
