First, if you can't remember who, exactly, is Harry Chapin: the late, lamented Harry Chapin was a folk rock singer, best remembered for "Cat's in the Cradle," and "Taxi", who died at age 39, in 1981, in a car accident. During the Jimmy Carter administration, Harry Chapin was a key player in the creation of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger, for which he posthumously received a Congressional Gold Medal. His sound reminds me of a more literate James Taylor.
Earlier this week, while randomly looking up You Tube subjects, John was startled to find several close-ups of himself, in the audience, of a Harry Chapin concert in Chicago, circa 1977. The YouTube segment, featuring John in the audience, is Harry Chapin's Q & A. The young, handsome John, in his 1970s haircut, is in several close-ups. Pretty cool to find oneself, in an old video, on YouTube.

The first person to write in, correctly identifying John, in the audience, using any creative way to indicate you know, so I'll know, receives an autographed copy of All My Lazy Rivers.
