Thread Name: Harry Chapin Final Concert
Subject: RE: Harry Chapin Final Concert
Caught the last 20 minutes. Wow, now I see why he had such devoted fans. One of a very rare breed. A writer, a showman, a bard, a mensch, a person who could pull so many people along on an emotional journey. Just when you thought it was at a perfect end, he takes HIS encore and turns it into the Band's, getting everyone to take a little turn at a verse. A hesitant, not-too-good-at-singing yet Tom Chapin, and everybody else in their turn. I know everybody introduces their band to the audience, but this was more like a proud papa helping his little musician brood step out of the nest and show their wings.
