GREAT LYRICS BREATHTAKING POEMS GREAT ILLUSTRATIONS

Just before he sang "Circle" in concert, he usually played "30,000 Lbs of Bananas." On cue, the crowd greeted the songs with a hearty: "Harry, it s---s!" It wasn't true of that song, and it SURE isn't true with this book. The lyrics to some of Harry's songs make up a small part of the book (including the unreleased "Pigeon Run"). His poems, written between the late 60's and mid '70s, range from funny to scary to darkly beautiful. A must-have for any Chapin fan. But, "keep the change," and find it at: harrysfriends.com/hcf (they also sell lots of collectibles, all proceeds going to the foundation created in his memory. This book, at ten bucks each (a fraction of the usual internet price)--will enable you to get copies for yourself and all the other Chapin fans amongst your family and friends. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

GET THIS BOOK!!!!!!

Like the other reviewers have stated, this book is an unbelievable treasure. I got my copy at a college concert in 1977 where he sang solo with only his guitar. It was the greatest experience of my life (and I've had some pretty wonderful ones). My copy is autographed: Larry, "keep the change", Harry Chapin.

Timeless.....Fantastic...A Classic

Harry Chapin may be gone but his talent lives on in both his music and his poetry. I grew up listining to Harry with my parents and recently recieved his poetry from another devoted fan my, aunt. This book is Harry at his best! The book serves as a source of inspiration and enlightenment. It is a must have if you can get your hands on it.

A book to love forever

Harry sold these books at his concerts and actually talked about it in some of his albums. It a treasure! If you have this book NEVER, NEVER give it up. Pass it to your children and teach them Harrys words and ideas.
