For more than 50 years, Larry Tucker graced the stage of countless bars and clubs in the Newark area, entertaining audience members by getting them as involved in the music as the musicians on stage were.
“Some musicians are in their own world; they play for themselves and their fellow musicians,” his ex-wife and caretaker at the end of his life, Maureen Minn Tucker, said. “He wasn’t like that at all. He was completely about entertaining the crowd.”
Tucker died on Jan. 25 at the age of 72.
