When I was a young(er) man, I joined the United States Air Force. The majority of my time was spent in Northern Italy at a base in the town of Aviano. In the early eighties we were lucky enough to have a visit from the Chapin Brothers, Harry and Tom. They appeared at our little NCO club and were simply awesome. They came in and sat down with acoustic guitars, we sat on the ground around them and watched them play for several hours. It was then I became a lifelong fan of their music. Shortly after that, Harry Chapin was killed in a horrible automobile accident. The world lost a wonderful talent. I have since pulled out his music often and time traveled back to that day in Italy where a shitty little club was transformed for one night into a bohemian mecca. http://www.harrychapin.com/
I have recently come across The Chapin Sisters and become an instant fan. (daughters of Tom Chapin and Wes Craven). They have that haunting dark, funny, slightly twisted fold sound that made Harry and Tom so wonderful. Check them out and become a fan http://www.thechapinsisters.com/ .
All for now, keep making music.

Hey, just a quick note. For some time I have been enjoying a great “web show” from Daryl Hall (of Hall and Oates fame). Live From Daryl’s House is an awesome view of great musicians making great music at Daryl’s home studio. Different guest’s from all genres of music make each show different and unique. I encourage anyone who loves music as much as I do to check it out. http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/index.php?page=ep26
