"I'm a sad sack Sir Galahad whose sword's around his knees, with a Grail no longer holy and a prayer that's saying - please", who writes like that nowadays, I ask you?! Love this one (natch), but LOVE the version on "Legends of the Lost and Found" ten times as much *shaking fist at sky* It's become my own personal Grail.
Loved him then and still today.
His wisdom helped grow me up as a young woman in very deep and needed ways.
Now as a older gal who lived, loved, buried my 33 year old to suicide who incidentally also loved Harry music even though he wasn't even alive for her except through my deep love of him/his indelible mark upon me.
God, how I miss her.
Hoping she and I can give thanks to Harry in heaven one day.
Wouldn't that be cool if he performed for everyone there that loved him?
It's all too true; Harry was the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet, but it's also sadly true that the good die young. I'm really stoked that Harry didn't know how good he was, and I''ll never stop appreciating what he gave us.I'll cry sometimes, knowing what we lost, but I'll appreciate, cuz how can you not? And I know Harry wouldn't mind, cuz he gave us the music that music asked of him; he'd have gladly paid the price, had he known. That's the kind of guy he was.
Chapin Music was released on CD but unsure what label put it out. I was lucky to find a copy at a record store in Levittown, Pa that had it. If you want to check with them, the name is Positively Records.
As for HC's stuff not getting played on the radio, HC himself said that they were too long. What a shame. He made way too much stuff that should of gotten airplay. Met him twice at the old Valley Forge Music Fair. Nice guy/
