Chip Fisher, known to his many friends as "Chipper," is a senior at Dartmouth College, where once Eleazar Wheelock gave away five hundred gallons of New England rum to appease the Indians.

Chip went to Dartmouth from Darien High School in Darien, Connecticut. Near the school, as in almost every American town, is the Sugar Bowl, a favorite meeting, eating and music place for all the Darien teenagers, especially on Saturday afternoon after a football game. Chipper used to go to the Sugar Bowl all the time (he still does, as a matter of fact) to knock off a tune or two for the kids who are forever asking him to sing. It was the enthusiasm of the Darien teenagers for Chip that drew the attention of the A&R people at RCA Victor to this personable lad.

Chipper first became interested in country music when he was thirteen-year-old choreboy on a Granby, Colorado, ranch. An Apache Indian by the name of Andy taught him to play the guitar and the words to a song, One More Ride. This tune, incidentally, is still one of Chip's favorites in proper Western style. When he returned to Granby the following summer, he brought with him a forty-dollar guitar bought with ranch earrings of the previous year. The bug had bitten hard.

At twenty-one, Chip is already an assured performer, a Dartmouth flash who loves his music as much as his girls, who sings, play and writes his own songs. And they're good songs too, as a few spins on your phonograph will show.

Teenagers, and many, many other folks too, dig "Chipper" the most! How about you?
