Factoid from VH1 special: Harry performed over 230 concerts in 1976. 130 were benefits. 
Harry Chapin cofounded World Hunger Year with Bill Ayres.
January 3 Pete Seeger, Tom Chapin, Harry Chapin performed a Concert for Children at the Huntington High School. It was a Benefit for the PAF Playhouse. 
April 4 Solo Benefit concert at Huff Gym at the University of Illinois. This was my first Harry Chapin concert. It was also the first date with the woman I would go on to marry. I had a friend record this concert from the campus radio station (WPJU). I get rather odd looks from friends when I tell them I have a tape of our first date. 
24 Greatest Stories Live is advertised in Billboard Magazine. 
May 2 Harry and Janis Ian appeared at Avery Fisher on October 20, 1975. The concert was broadcast on this date on the  King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show.
