Harry Chapin

[Charlie E]

Some of the saddest lyrics ever written. -

"My child arrived just the other day.

He came to the world in the usual way.

But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.

He learned to walk while I was away."

I read that the song, Cat's In The Cradle, is actually from a poem written by his wife. I just watched a documentary on Harry Chapin's life. He was an amazingly selfless guy with a passion to end world hunger. Like so many, he was taken too soon.

Love the song.  Remember singing that song packed in a car about 30 years ago, thankfully no police on the road. 
Excellent pattern and portrait.

Hi Charlie:
The cat is out of the bag
oh shoot, wait a minute, you're right, he is in the cradle?
Harry Chapin has a lot of great songs.
Well done

I didn't know much about him except that he sang Cat's In The Cradle until recently. If you haven't heard this one, Mr. Tanner,  it's worth a listen. Just a powerful, bloom where you're planted message, for me.

i have always like Harry Chapin.

Mr. Tanner is a great song. 

"Corey's comming" is also a nice story.

30,000 pounds of bananas.  

     The name printed on the old album showed 300,000.
