Midnight Run Concert: Tom Chapin

He plays three chords and stops--tunes his guitar--continues with full dignity. The very talented Tom Chapin (brother of famous singer/songwriter Harry Chapin) performed a fantastic set of originals and a few Harry  classics like "Cats in the Cradle" and "All My Life's a Circle." His energetic personality was soft and warming in an ironically sharp-pointed roofed church as he invited the audience to sing along with him for roughly half of the performance. Despite the semi-controversial political hiatus he took in the middle of his set, he was loved by all as he picked up his autoharp and played a few songs with it, giving his guitar and banjo a rest. Towards the end he mentioned that a group of people are trying to get Harry Chapin on the stamp for the 30th anniversary of his death. I am in full support of this and I urge you to help too. A total of 65 MangoUnits were acquired and put to good use.
