Hungerthon 2003 Concert
November 22, 2003
C. Jason Dermer submitted the following news:
Paul's Tavern and Cabin in Belmar, NJ will be hosting the fourth concert
of
Hungerthon 2003 on November 29th at 7PM. Admission is $10.00. All proceeds benefit World Hunger Year,(WHY)
a charitable 501(c)3 organization formed in 1975 by Bill Ayres and the
late Harry Chapin. Hungerthon is WHY’s largest annual public outreach,
broadcast during Thanksgiving week to more than 6 million people.
To further WHY's mission of eradicating the root causes of hunger and
poverty,
funds are raised through radio and television auctions of rock
memorabilia and
entertainment packages, a series of concerts performed by both national
and local
acts, and corporate and individual donations.
Additional information on WHY and Hungerthon is available at
worldhungeryear.org. In addition to raising funds for WHY, we will also
be collecting non perishable food items for Monmouth Food Bank- bring
two items and receive $2.00 off of admission at the door. Concert

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!
