I loved Harry Chapin&#8217;s ballads: Taxi Driver, Cat&#8217;s in the Cradle, W.O.L.D. and 10,000 pounds of bananas being my top favorites.  Harry Chapin was killed in a car crash in 1981.  Was Tom Chapin a relative?  Yes, his brother.  And Tom does ballads also, including &#8220;Homemade Lemonade&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I found this YouTube video and if you can watch this and not be smiling, laughing, singing the chorus and generally feeling glad to be alive, well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Warning, though &#8211; if you watch, you will likely have the chorus in your head for days.  I&#8217;m not sure how many as it is still rolling around in my head and it continues to make me smile.  <\/p>\n<p>Still &#8211; WATCH THIS &#8211; you will not be sorry.  And watch the entire 4 minutes and 26 seconds!  It is classic &#8220;Chapin&#8221; a story song.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BOZjYuSbj9c\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I played this for Bear this evening.  Bear got skunked on the after supper walk.  It was only 6:30 and sunset is after 9:00 p.m.  I think there is a den and probably kits&#8230; I have the skunk neutralizer which works pretty well.
