Interesting, would love to see her live. Gretchen Peters is also playing there in May.

Thanks for that! I've just played 'Everything falls away'. It's sublime. I'll be at The Assembly Hall for this one as well.

I had to look her up as I had never heard of her and then found that she is performing or more correctly singing at The Assembly Hall as she doesnt appear to play any instrument. Mind I have to look up many singers etc now.

So you looked her up, and didn’t read that she’s a guitarist? Or see all the pictures with her holding a guitar, or look at any of the videos of her playing the guitar. Maybe you should look up Specsavers. Still, at least your post count went up, and no doubt will again in response to this post.

Er. No!
Harry was a cousin I think and a distant one at that.

I think the song "Cats in the Cradle" would have been a bit different if Mary had been the daughter of Harry Chapin. Actually MCC's father's first name was Chapin, Chapin Carpenter.

Harry Chapin would be 75 if he was alive today and since MCC is 60 Harry would have been one young father in 1958.

The common relative that MCC and HC have is Samuel Chapin.

Every member of NSC should go to Worthing Assembly hall to see her in concert.

And those NSC members of a certain age should join in a rousing chorus of Ooh Ah Mary Chapin Carpenter
