Harry Chapin

Post by BeestonBoy »

Me again sorry if im hogging the board tonight. Was just curious did he ever play in this country and did any one here see him. Only really just descovered what imo is one of the great over looked singer/song writers ever. Been on youtube listening to him most of the night. He was just amazing. Can any one recomend a good CD of his or even a DVD?

If you have no idea who im talking about please go along to youtube and listen to "Taxi" or "W.O.L.D" breath takingly beautifull tunes sung with just a hint of truth.

even visit his page on Wiki....he seemed like an all round great man who had alot to give the world,and not just that of music.

Sorry the wine may have just led me into the "Your my beshtish mate,you are" state of mind,but i feel really touched some how.

Cheers all (Your my beshtish mates you are) *Falls over and is sick in a plant pot !sleep!

Hes one of my fave singer song writers since I first heard
Cat's in the Cradle,
check out these lps
Dance Band On The Titanic, Legends Of Lost & Found,
Greatest Stories Live & Short Stories.
and if you like him you might like Tim Harding, of "if I were a carpenter" fame.
