Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year! Here's a song I've been meaning to write for about 30 years using some of my favorite Chapin song titles - I finally finished and recorded it today. This was done with the MAC version of BIAB/RT - hope you enjoy and thanks for listening...

"Where In The World Is Harry Chapin Tonight"

On the road to kingdom come
Could you put the light on please
Someone keeps calling my name
And why should people stay the same
Do you remember when the music
Is what made America famous
The day they closed the factory down
Made them legends of the lost and found

Chorus:
Dancin' boy
Love is just another word
So I keep it up on the shelf
Paint a picture of yourself
Just another story of a life
Where in the world is Harry Chapin tonight

She sings songs without words
She is always seventeen
Dreams go by, everybody's lonely
God babe you've been good to me
I wanna learn a love song
I don't want to be president
Cat's in the cradle, flowers are red
You can't come in from the rain somebody said

Chorus: repeat

Sunday morning sunshine
Short stories and a shooting star
Stranger with the melodies
I finally found it, Sandy
Danceband on the Titanic
Gotta stop singing these sad songs
Mail order Annie catching a taxi
One light in a dark valley

Chorus: end
Hi Bob,

What a wonderful sound you've mixed together. You have such a terrific voice for this genre. I don't know enough of Chapin's music to appreciate the lyrics on that level. What I can say, though, is that I like the imagery and the journey that you've created with your words.

Regards,
Noel
Noel, thanks so much for listening and the kind words - much appreciated.

Harry was a huge force on Long Island back in the day. BIAB hits the air waves!
