| I have to admit that Chapin was pretty darn good, but the only song I ever dug was Taxi. I could hear that once a day and not get tired if it. But as performers go, I'd much rather listen to Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. |

| If you are enjoying some Chapin, don't forget his most excellent song within a song - "Better Place To Be" off of the 'Sniper & Other Love Songs' album. Ric |

| I was a fan of his for years,he and jim croce sort of reminded me of each other,they both told a fine story in their songs.Its quite tragic that ochs,chapin,and croce all died so young with presumably much more great music yet to share with us,that we never got to hear. |

| His daughter is in the music biz these days. I haven't heard her, though. |

Hey Alisonn, (aka Alison on the sister site), you must be thinking of Jen Chapin. Since you enjoy a lot of local talent, you may want to check her out. Her album 'Linger' is a couple of years old but a new one should be in the stores this spring (accoridng to WFUV). Great stuff. Her dad would be proud.
