Carter and Street @ Zebulon

It happens while waiting for a bus. One thinks they can steal to the next stop and not have to stand in one place, waiting. It is called progress. Unless while hightailing it to the next stop the bus drives by and again one is left standing at the stop, the same dilemma, calculating time blocks. Just then a bus comes! It is the wrong bus going the right direction on a holiday schedule. So there is some fast driving, whipping along, skipping all the stops: destination unknown.

That was Monday night at Zebulon....worth the wait.

MICHAEL CHAPMAN: ABOVE THE DIN

MICHAEL CHAPMAN
Cafe Zebulon, Brooklyn 
14, June 2011


Above the din at Zebulon a modest sized cafe space in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn the UK guitar master Michael Chapman could be heard saying "I am playing for God, just in case he exists." I missed the gist of the rest of the story but I have a feeling that this punchline was important.

Chapman who appeared on the UK scene in the late 60's and has been strumming, singing and songwriting ever since played and sang and smiled on all of us. If there is a god and god is in the details surely the intricate mingling of this man and instrument are blessed. Check out some of the videos on his website. Hallelujah!
