Dual Spring Concert TOM CHAPIN This year, two smaller concerts replaced the usual single annual big name band concert. Tom Chapin played on Good Friday to a small but receptive audience. Talking and joking between numbers, he easily established great rapport with his listeners, even asking for audience participation in some of his songs. Chapin played mostly original material, but for the closing number of his performance, he sang the ever popular "All My Life's a Circle," written by his brother Harry Chapin. Freewater, a local country rock and roll band, played on May 3rd. This unique second concert was organized by three students: Barry Sacks, Robert Becker and Hunter Stedby. Freewater gave the audience a great bargain for their entertainment dollar; they played late into the night, featuring songs by the Grateful Dead as well as original compositions. The lead and rhythm guitarists and pianist highlighted the concert, impressing their listeners with their technical abilities and dynamic individual performances.
