Not sure if you are having a windup, but Mary Chapin Carpenter was never married to Harry Chapin!Quote:

That's better - she is his 5th cousin. I have all her albums. Mind you, I sometimes wish she would go back to just penning a catchy tune rather than her incredibly literate, clever and worthy songs of the past decade. There is no finer wordsmith, but it has been at the expense of her musicality to the extent that I can't really tell one song from another.Quote:

It included a few tracks I knew including the very catchy He Thinks He’ll Keep Her. That CD gave me my way in to Brad Paisley et al and a whole new musical genre that I quickly came to love.Quote:
