2049 **Beck** , please join us again in this thread. I miss your contributions. Perhaps **Panache** and I got a little carried away lately with Harry Chapin songs, but we want you and others to participate. Just drop on in, post a number next in line, ignore the song lyrics, and be yourself. You might like to explore the songs of Harry Chapin. They tend to be bittersweet–lost loves, lost opportunities, and thirty thousand pounds of bananas crashing down a hill in Scranton, Pennsylvania (yes, really!). Harry wrote story songs, many too long for commercial radio, but all of which I’ve sung before audiences. “Taxi,” “Sequel,” and “Better Place to Be” are my favorites. Harry wrote “story songs,” and stories don’t do so well, when they have to accomodate an eight-bar bridge every two verses. In other words, come back **Beck**! ---
