Harry Chapin

Wollman Rink

Central Park, New York City

August 23rd 1978

Remastered FM broadcast.

I really enjoyed doing this one.

Warren Zevon, Billy Joel and Malvina Reynolds all crossed my mind.

Harry was someone who tried to make a difference.

If you don't know his work I'd recommend this as an introduction.

Harry Chapin

Elektra Records demo tape

1971

Remastered demo.

It's a bit overdriven at times...nothing I could do about that.

It's a bit hissy in quieter moments...but noise reduction attempts did it no favours.

I just tried to get a warmer overall sound.

An R.E. teacher at high school introduced us to Harry Chapin.

We studied the lyrics of his song 'Sniper' and it's social implications.

That teacher was the exception rather than the rule I hasten to add.

I've liked Harry Chapin ever since.
