I have to try this puzzle just because the song is one of my favorites.#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 13, 2017
Great likeness, but I'm not familiar with the song.#4: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 13, 2017
Great likeness, but I'm not familiar with the song.#5: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 13, 2017
What an awesome puzzle, Kristen. It takes talent to get a nice portrait in a 30x30, and you did it!#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 14, 2017
That's one crazy song. Perfect for this challenge. :-)
I hadn't heard it before, but I did a search for "30000 pounds", and this song came up. And you know I'm a sucker for a portrait puzzle!#7: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Jul 14, 2017
Great likeness Kristen. I can't believe you girls haven't heard this song. Harry Chapin is a great singer and musician. Cats in the cradle is all about a father never having time for his son when his son needs to be with him. Then the son grows up and his father gets old. He is always too busy to spend time with his father when his dad needs him. I'm sure most of you would be familiar with his song titled "Taxi". Great lyrics. :)#8: Pam (RhiannonA) on Jul 15, 2017
Thanks for the puzzle Kristin. Nice likeness. This song was my first thought when I saw the challenge.#9: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jul 16, 2017
Growing up in the New York City area, I spent many Friday nights traveling into Greenwich Village to the Bottom Line to see Harry Chapin. He performed there all the time. His shows were like a Sing-a-long. He was an awesome person. Standing outside talking to fans and signing autographs after every show.
He was tragically lost in an auto crash on the Long Island Expressway. RIP Harry!
Never heard of the song, but throughout the solve I was wondering, "what does a face have to do with bananas?" It was a very clever take on the challenge.#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 17, 2017
Aurelian, if you've solved many of my puzzles, you'll see that I take any opportunity to do a portrait.#11: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Aug 2, 2017
And we are always glad when you do! Good job and a great musician. How lucky you are to have been able to enjoy him in person Pam
