Michael Chapdelaine just happened to be
in Columbus this weekend - and, gladly offered up his services to come
open for Richard. |
|
Richard and Michael exchanging pleasantries
before the concert. |
|
Ted Kerr is owner of Uptown Strings in
Westerville, Ohio (outskirts of Columbus) and he set up a few of his
Stonebridge guitars he handles - and, Richard Smith endorses. |
|
I'd heard that JD Norman was back in town.
Here he is chattin' with Richard in the lobby. |
|
Here's JD again with Carlos Graham and
his son, Neal, and our most avid member, Bob Henthorne - all getting
ready to hear some world class guitar music.. |
|
Michael usually performs standing up -
moving around and "actin' up." But, he forgot his
"pickup equipment" so we had to "mic" him.. (So to
speak.. (lol) |
|
Michael is classically (which explains
the "proper position") - but, crossed over to modern acoustic
finger style to broaden his musical performances. Boy - are we
glad he did. The guy was amazingly entertaining - and, a super
player. |
|
Club organizer, Palmer Moore,
introducing Richard Smith - who needs no introductions. |
|
After an hour and a half of brilliant
solo performance Richard opened the stage up to "anyone stupid
enough to flog one with him." Well, Palmer wasn't going to
let this opportunity to embarrass himself go by. |
|
Neither did JD Norman. |
