Harry Chapin: 30 THOUSAND POUNDS of BANANAS 81

Thank you for sharing my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown the live music video from decades ago of Harry Chapin performing 30,000 Lbs. of Bananas which is a folk rock song by Harry Chapin from his 1974 album, Verities & Balderdash.
Rest in peace Harry Chapin

30,000 Lbs. of Bananas
It was just after dark when the truck started down
The hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania.
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Carrying thirty thousand pounds (hit it Big John) of bananas.
He was a young driver,
Just out on his second job.
And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits
For everyone in that coal-scarred city
Where children play without despair
In backyard slag-piles and folks manage to eat each day
Just about thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, just about thirty thousand pounds (scream it again, John) .
He passed a sign that he should have seen,
Saying "shift to low gear, a fifty dollar fine my friend."
He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman
Who was waiting at the journey's end.
He started…

Give you a twofer with this one. Great song and singer that I haven't thought about for years. PLUS remembering runaway truck ramps that we low lander Floridians never see.

Try hauling cattle, horses, or swinging beef down the mountains!
