Harry asked Doug to play in it and asked him to recommend a drummer so Doug recommended me. Thats how it started." | | | | Behind the Cause CD Harry Chapin had a Cause. His words and wisdom are on this record. You don't have to be a saint to have a Cause. | | | | Subscribe to Circle! Want to be automatically advised when a new issue of Circle! is posted? It's free!
