Fund Raiser for Former Resident Luthier
Bill Chapin is a talented luthier who has created many very fine guitars and has made guitarists happy from San Jose to Europe and Asia. Bill has also had a few runs of bad luck. While living here in San Jose Bill’s shop was broken into several times and many instruments and equipment were stolen. Each time he fought back, reopened his shop and pushed forward with creating guitars for people with the desire to truly get what they want out of a custom shop guitar. After the most recent break-in and theft and with a desire to find a less expensive place to live Bill moved his family to Canby, Oregon.
On April 19 Bill had one more run of bad luck. The city of Canby's telephone company was working close to the natural gas lines by Bill’s home and accidentally broke one. They evacuated Bill and his wife while their son was at school. But unfortunately a fire ball blew through Bill’s house and work area leaving him and his family homeless and him without a place to exercise his craft. Another part of the tragedy is two firefighters were also hurt.
There have been donations from Bill’s followers and we are now trying to help out by having a fund raiser for the Chapin family. JJ’s Blues Lounge has opened their doors and given us a venue to have local musicians get together, have an open jam session, and help raise money for Bill. We hope you will come down and enjoy an afternoon of music in honor of Bill and his family. Door donations will be $10.00. All door donations and anything else you feel you can give will be donated directly to the Chapin’s.
When: Sunday July 1st 2007 12PM – 6PM
Place: JJ’s Blues Lounge
3439 Stevens Creek Blvd
Santa Clara, CA, 95050
408 243-6441

Notable Quotes |
There's a lot of different forms of communication, but music is absolutely the purest one, man. You can't hurt anybody with music. You can maybe offend somebody with songs and words, but you can't offend anybody with music - it's all just good. There's nothing at all that could ever be bad about music, about playing it. It's a wonderful thing, a grace.
-- Duane Allman |
