Guitar Man


Wow! What an evening Princess Kitty has had. She has been to see a performance. A performance by a guitarist.

The name of the guitarist is Michael Chapman. He has been performing for over 40 years. Princess Kitty thought he was just amazing. She has never heard anything like it. His fingers were so fast yet so controlled. So accurate and sensitive.

And she could not believe the sounds he got from the guitar. His influences ranged from Indian to Spanish music. From Jazz to classical. He played harmonics. He strummed. He picked. He struck the guitar all over the face and fretboard.

His voice had a gravel-like quality, like Bob Dylan. He did a little singing but mostly he played the guitar.

After the performance Princess Kitty went back to someone's house with her friends. Michael Chapman came too. They drank and talked a bit about guinea pigs and laughed.

When she left to go home Princess Kitty told Michael Chapman he was an inspiration.

I remember the first time I saw a proper guitarist playing really well. It made me want to be that person. I'm sure MC was an inspiration. Now all PK has to do is.....you know what......practice practice...practice
