"Yes I read it in the New York Times.... It said that dreams were out of fashion.
We'll hear no more empty promises.
There'll be no more wasted passions.
To clutter up our play."

- Re: My experience- I have a wonderful story to tell you. I too, was at the concert at Louisiana Tech. In fact, if you remember, during the closing song CIRCLE, Harry explained to the audience that the flower arrangement on the piano "Had been sent, along with a special letter, to him from someone in attendence. He then ask that person to come on stage and sing a chorus of CIRCLE with the group. I AM THAT PERSON. Before that night, Harry had already had a profound effect on my life and the letter I sent him was done to try to offer thanks. My wife and I never expected anything to come of it but boy, something did. There is a follow-up story to this and I will be happy to share it if you are interested. Bottom line; I wrote a letter to Sandy 11 years ago in hopes of someday getting my thanks to her and her family. I have carried that letter in my briefcase for these 11 years and by another miracle, was finally placed in Sandy's hands last night. It is a great story and 100% truthful. My wife and I waited to last in line that first night, Sept. 21, 1977 and Harry was gracious enough to talk to us for nearly an hour. My wife was pregnant at the time and when we saw him two years later, he remembered us and ask if the child was a boy or girl. - Mike Green 13:29:49 11/20/08

The Latest Release
|
Sniper & Other Love Songs
[iTunes]
In 1972, Harry released
Sniper & Other Love Songs.
Thirty years would pass before the album would ever reach the CD format. Sniper was finally re-released in June, 2002.
Originally given a working title of Sweet City Suite, the album tells the story of various characters one might run into in
a city. The album features the original studio versions of Chapin classics "A Better Place to Be" and "Circle." But
perhaps more importantly (as those songs are already well-distributed on compilation CDs), the album features seemingly
lost Chapin stories, including "And the Baby Never Cries," "Burning Herself," "Barefoot Boy," and "Woman Child."
Sniper is for the seasoned Chapin fan. New fans would do better to check out
Greatest Stories
Live. But for Chapin fans who have reached the level of the
Dance Band on the Titanic album, this is the next step. Slightly over-produced and having a little of the "forced"
feel that some of Harry's studio albums possess, this album does not capture the powerfully live Harry Chapin. Nonetheless,
it captures Harry's great iconoclastic songwriting--Harry takes the story song to new heights here. But the album works best
for those ready for it; don't buy it until you are ready to appreciate it!
