  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen
    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.

  • Tom Chapin's Biography
    Tom Chapin's Biography Born March 13, 1945, in New York, NY; father was a jazz drummer; married wife Bonnie, 1976; children: Abigail, Lily. Education: State University College at Plattsburgh, B.A. in history, 1969. Addresses: Record company-- Sundance Music, P.O. Box 1663, New York, NY 10011. Tom Chapin's early career may have been overshadowed by that of his more famous brother, singer-songwriter Harry Chapin of "Cat's in the Cradle" and "Taxi" fame, but Tom has made quite a name for himself as an eclectic songwriter and singer nonetheless. By the early 1990s, in fact, his music written especially for children, with its toe-tapping tunes and rich guitar accompaniments, had pleased parents so well that they generally think of his later body of work as "family" music rather than "kids" music. Considering his upbringing, Chapin was destined for a life in the arts. He grew up in New York City's Greenwich Village and Brooklyn Heights in a family that encouraged all the children to develop their creative talents. The senior Chapin, Jim, was a jazz drummer who performed with renowned bandleaders Tommy Dorsey and Woody Herman. One of Tom's grandfathers was a painter, and the other was a philosopher. When he was 12, Tom and his two brothers, Steve and Harry, fell under the influence of the seminal folk group the Weavers. The Chapin kids formed their own folk trio, calling themselves the Chapins. They played nightclub gigs in New York for a number of years and recorded their first album, Chapin Music!, in 1966.

  • Harry Chapin (1942-1981) Singer/Songwriter and Humanitarian
    Harry Chapin (1942-1981) Singer/Songwriter and Humanitarian Singer/songwriter Harry Chapin, who won fame for his recordings of Cats in the Cradle, Taxi, and other anthems of the 60s and 70s, sunk his roots in Huntington Bay. Chapin chose the Huntington area for his home, according to family friend Leslie Ramme, because “it had and still has everything that they were looking for. It is suburban, but close to the city. It is multi-cultural. A center for the arts with great support for the arts.” Chapin’s legacy is more than his story- telling style of singing about the relatedness of human beings. He tirelessly campaigned for Long Island’s cultural institutions. He was a benefactor and board member of such organizations as the Eglevsky Ballet Company and the Performing Arts Foundation playhouse. He gave the profits from more than half of his performances to charity. The Huntington Arts Council is among those who benefited from Chapin’s generosity. The Heckscher Park stage where the Arts Council hosts its Summer Arts Festival is named the Chapin Rainbow Stage. Chapin’s friend, former Congressman Thomas J. Downey, wrote “as a Long Islander he wanted us to have our own cultural identity – ‘to see all the colors of the rainbow.’” Chapin wanted the arts to “be performed by and for Long Islanders,” Downey added in his remembrance in The New York Times. Although Chapin’s activist efforts and energy often were focused on Long Island, his vision of social justice also had a wider reach. His commitment to eradicate World Hunger resulted in the creation of the national World Hunger Year.
