After Harry Chapin’s death on July 16th 1981, his brother Tom Chapin took over as musical director for the opening of The Cotton Patch Gospel show, that fall.  He has also stayed active in many of the same causes which Harry championed.  He serves on the Board for WHYHunger.  More about Tom and his great music can be found at:  http://www.tomchapin.com/
