Memories of Dan Hartman
I grew up in Elizabethtown, PA and remember seeing the "Legends" at the Railroad House in Columbia, PA...also at the Mount Joy Pool 'Splash' Parties. He was absolutely fabulous. (late 60's)
The next time I saw Dan was with Edgar Winter a few years later, and again he was better than ever. (Early 70's)
Later, as I moved from PA to Boston, and was on the road as a musician, I had the chance to record, write and produce "Dance" music for various labels in New York. This was around the time of 'Instant Replay' , and 'Relight My Fire'... Our record "Kind Of Life" (by Northend) on Westend Records was doing very well, and the label always mentioned that we should have the appeal and magnetism of Dan Hartman. No small task.
After doing various types production work, and now as an Assistant Professor in (MP&E) Music Production & Engineering Department at Berklee College of Music in Boston, I find myself still wishing that I would have had the chance to work with Dan, or at least had known him on a personal level.
Dan made a rather big impression on this musician, and I am proud to say that I spoke to him breifly at the Railroad House, I was about 14 at the time, and he actually took the time to speak with a 'kid'...very cool.
May God Bless you Dan, and your music has found a special place in many hearts.
A-fan-always...Tony Carbone
