I'm sure you know his brother, Harry Chapin, but Tom Chapin is better known to kids. In my youth, road trips between Indiana and New York were spent belting out songs like Billy the Squid and Johnny Glockenspiel. When we found out Tom Chapin played each year at the Children's Museum, we went... each year. Eventually, we owned every tape.
Except one, which was a recording for adults. It was called Join the Jubilee. We never played it, frustrated Chapin had sold out to the adult crowd. But, a decade or so later, on a trip to Tennessee, we decided to give the tape a go. It was amazing. From Dueling Banjos played on different instruments to Seven Daffodils, I love the tape. I tried to but it on iTunes to no avail.
After searching for more of Tom Chapin's adult recordings, I discovered he offers private Skype concerts. How cool is that?!
