It’s another ChapBlog…

I know, you’ve all been checking back every day to see if the new blog was up, and your diligence is now rewarded. So here’s the scoop… The Chap’s have been staying very busy the last few weeks working up new songs for an upcoming CD. It just so happens that 2009 is going to be the 20 year anniversary of The Chapmans. Well, not The Chapmans as in the family name… that’s been around for a while longer; we happen to be descendants of the Great Celebrity Pot-Wearing Agriculturist (celebri-culturist) Johnny Appleseed! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Appleseed) No I’m referring to The Chapmans as a world famous bluegrass band. That’s right, 20 years!! And half of the band isn’t yet out of their 20’s. We’ll be talking more about this news as well as the new CD project in future ChapBlogs, but I just thought I would mention it.

I spoke last time about building a new Chap-TV studio (a.k.a. cleaning the garage) and I would like to announce that we have outdone ourselves if I do say so myself, which is exactly what I’m doing. It really did turn out cool. And it’s gonna serve a dual purpose as a Late Night Chap-TV set and a kick butt IBMA booth. That’s right, we’re bringing Chap-TV to the people. Chap-TV along with KOR Management is going to have an awesome 3-D Chap-TV booth, where besides being the coolest booth ever, we’re going to be conducting in-depth interviews with some of the industry’s biggest movers and shakers. Asking the hard-hitting questions you won’t see anywhere else. A No-Twirl-Region if you will. If you have any questions that you would like to ask, we’ll be taking your suggestions. So far we have IBMA President Greg Cahill -also of Special Consensus, Darin Vincent -of Dailey & Vincent, Alan Bartram –of the Del McCoury Band confirmed, and others in the works. A suggestion, before you submit the questions you would like to have answered… watch the Chap-TV episodes again to get an idea of the way in which these interviews will be conducted.

Back to Late Night Chap-TV, we’ve been working out all the technical issues, and we’re about ready to do the first episode. What’s more, we’re going to be webcasting it live. Yeah, I know, more mind blowing information! And all you Skype users can call in, and maybe even get brought into the show. I KNOW! It is pretty sweet. Of course, we’ll be letting you know all the details when we’re ready for our pilot episode.

Well, that about does it… Oh yeah, we have new Chap-TV webisodes… -A special in-depth look into Cadillac Sky’s new single, “Inside Joke” where we went straight to the source and called Brian Simpson to get to the bottom of this vaguely engaging story of a dance. -A killer Jam busted by a Bass player. - A new mandolin instructional video breaking down PFI solo #1. -And a possible new star to the world of World Record Pretzel eating.

There! Digest all that you just read, and then read it again.
