Just last week the road warrior Michael Chapman wrapped up his North America tour. The good word from the man himself is he’s already hitting the road in Europe…an inspiration indeed. We had the supreme pleasure of putting Michael up while he was in Los Angeles for his first show on the Bill Callahan leg of the tour. What a time we had. We showed him around town, including stops at Amoeba in Hollywood, Reuben Cox’s Old Style Guitar Shop in Silverlake, and a great meet up with Fully Qualified Survivor arranger Paul Buckmaster. Here’s a few photos (and a video) of the day. See ya out there next time…
Michael and Matt outside Amoeba in Hollywood, CA. Ready to dig!
So many records...they go all the way up
Gotta dig deep for those Grant Green records

Michael and Paul. First time they've seen each other in 20 years!
Had to grab some autographs! Paul signs away
Chapman obliged us too with his autograph. Kinda hard to sign on the glossy sleeve, though
