i think that’s Steve Chapin on guitar and John Wallace on bass in the video.

In a rather bizarre coincidence, there is a Chapin family picture of the father holding his infant son James and reading a newspaper with large headlines about the Pearl Harbor attack. Exactly a year later, Harry Chapin was born.

Must have been weird growing up with a December 7 birthday, when the country was mourning for those lost on Pearl Harbor (imagine having a Sept. 11 birthday the past 9 years).

Hard for me to believe he would only be 68 today if he had lived. When he was my babysitter back in the mid-60’s, me being all of 6 and him being already an adult of 20, I alway thought that the magic he wove with his guitar and gentle voice would last forever and always serve as my path to slumberland. Rest easy, my friend….your magic still remains in my heart.
