Hey guys, I'm looking for a little help here. There is someone that I know who I believe would look ultra-cool (& sexy) in one of those little sparkly white, with red trim Flaming Red shirts that were for sale for a short time on Patty's FR tour. Does anyone happen to know where I could get my hands on one of them? I've been searching the net, but have come up with nothing so far. I was hoping there was either a guy MM'er who would part with one he has (for a fee) or possibly a girl here who has one but doesn't wear it because it doesn't fit or something?? .. pretty please!!?!? This is URGENT! I just HAVE to see this girl in a Patty G shirt, and of course it would make her happy as well. If you could see her smile in appreciation it would be WELL worth it! :-) haha, ok... only 11 days until the Birchmere!!! Yay! has anyone heard anything confirmed as to whether this is with or w/out the band?

It's late and way past my bed time, so I cannot write the post I'd like to about him, but I'd like to leave you with a post that another fan of his posted on a NYC board I happened to stumble upon on AOL tonight, and he and this board made many posts remembering this man I consider a legend. Rest in peace Harry, I miss you and your wonderfully entertaining shows. No one I have seen since has come remotely close. a fan forever, Mike *********** Posted on the AOL board: The Buroughs Subject: Remembering Harry Chapin Date: 7/16/01 12:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: HZryb Let us pause for a few minutes during our hectic routine that we call our daily lives and honor the memory of Harry Chapin, one of my heroes, who died in an automobile accident on the LIE 20 years ago today. He was only 38 years old. He was the principle organizer and guiding force behind World Hunger Year, and as he liked to say onstage "I do one show for me, and one show for the other guy." He truly was a recording artist who put his money where his mouth was. No doubt Harry would have been at the fore in the We Are The World Sessions. His voice was sorely missed on that recording. Harry was even posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal for his outstanding humanitarian efforts I remember on the day Harry died, I was supposed to attend a benefit concert at Eisenhower Park that evening. I heard about the horrible accident on WNEW-FM in the afternoon. Truly a great loss for all of us. Harry remains, for me, one of the great lyricists who ever put notes to paperhis songs told stories, some serious, some frivolous, all entertaining. I remember hearing "Taxi" in my bedroom one day in 1972. There are very few songs that you can remember the very first time you heard them. This is one of them. Harry's imagery, the melody, the whole enchilada is perfect. His songs were like movies, very cinematic. His lyrics were powerful and his presentation evocative. I also really like "Better Place To Be" and for any of you who have teenaged girls please listen to "Tangled Up Puppet." It's guaranteed to raise a few emotions. Harry also had the guts to record a poem that his wife Sandy wrote, called "Cats in the Cradle." With my own travel schedule, I relate to that song better than most, and of course, Harry himself was speaking in the first person. It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed already since Harry's tragic demise. "Remember when the music was a glow on the horizon of every new-born day, and as we sang the sun came up to chase the dark away, and life was good, for we knew we could" "I aint here on business baby, I'm only here for fun!"

I was just a kid, but it left me weeping, and now with a teenage daughter of my own, I don't dare listen any time soon! A true humanitarian in the purest sense. Harry Chapin's love lives on......... ~Patty Blee~ ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V5 #167 *********************************
