Terrific article. Thanks for posting this. I remember the news report on the radio that he had died. "Taxi" was such a great song, and Harry Chapin was a great story-teller with his songs. Do you suppose Gord is referring to Harry in "Blackberry Wine" when he says "My days are numbered, and one more heel's been killed..."? ( I know that a "heel" is also the left over liquid from a bottle of liquor)
