Well said Tucker. I gotta figure being a firefighter is about the scariest job on the planet. Harry Chapin actually had a heart attack while driving his VW (on the Jersey turnpike, I believe.) Good songwriter, and he was so young.

Actually mag, that story about Stan spread pretty rapidly and has been told a number of times from different stages. I'm afraid the coroner's report indicated that it just didn't happen. Ariel and Garnet (Stan's widow and brother)have apparently met far more than six people who've claimed to have been rescued by Stan. That's the way myths spread though, and my guess is that 20 years from now the (inacurate) details of his death will have passed into folklore. It doesn't really matter though. God knows we need heroes. His biography, "An Unfinished Conversation" can shed some light on the situation for you.

Hi Mo. Yah, I've heard the tapes from Bermuda. They're great. There was a wonderful folk club there for a number of years but it hasn't operated for a while now.
