Harry Chapin Web Site - Short Stories. Harry Chapin. Like many, I have fond memories of Harry. When I was in high school our favorite pizza place, Honeys in Niagara Falls NY, had in on the jukebox as a 45 (that dates me) with on the flip side. I played both often. In my freshman year at SUNY Geneseo I saw him live for the first time in a small stage where the power of his voice blew my mind. It was like being in his living room. I saw Harry several more times - at Artpark in my hometown of Lewiston, NY; Melody Fair in Buffalo where he spent time signing anything (I bought his book of poems and a T-shirt) and talking with me as if he remembered me from before; and finally at Geneseo after my graduation.
I even saw Tom Chapin in concert in Florida.

Harry Chapin: The Howie Fields Years. When Harry Met Howard From March 31, 1975 till June 24, 1981, it was my privilege to have played drums for Harry Chapin throughout the US, Canada, the British Isles, and in Europe. Prior to my first concert in Chicago on March 31, 1975, I played with Harry (and his brothers Tom and Steve) in New York, on Broadway, at the Ethel Barrymore theater in a theatrical production entitled "The Night That Made America Famous".
The show ran for six weeks (75 performances) from February 26, 1975 till April 6, 1975. The impending failure of the show came at a time when Harry, still riding the #1 wave of "Cat's In The Cradle", was inclined to augment his four-piece touring band by adding brother Steve on keyboards, brother Tom on guitar, myself on drums, as well as replacing original guitarist Ron Palmer with long-time friend Doug Walker who played guitar in the Broadway show.
