The Story is in the Song…

[Marie Mallory]

1972 I worked a couple months in a Navy town, Jax Fl. at a strip club back then was called a tiddy bar, although I was fully clothed bar tender. Lots of sailors came into the club.
I had 3 toddlers 1,2 almost 4 at home and the money was more than I made at restaurants. Their 'father' left us with rent due.
The song Brabdy played a lot in that club.
Some of the strippers were on drugs and I was like their nursemaid when they got sick or OD.I felt bad for them. They didn't realize their worth.
The song always reminded me of them.

All this time I thought Cat Stevens wrote and sang the song, 'Cats In The Cradle' just seen it was Harry Chapin who wrote and performed the original song, I also now remember Harry singing it.

Frankie, I wasn't aware of Harry getting killed at the height of his career, he was just 38 when he was killed in a car crash.

Sadly, yes, Marie. He was a storyteller of the highest order in song, right up there with Gordon Lightfoot.

Another great song writer and storyteller was Kris Kristofferson. Most of his songs were a story of one kind or another, and I live his gravelly voice.
