17.One night in 1966,Michael Chapman rushed into a folk-music club in Cornwall,England to get out of the rain,and soon found himself onstage playing the guitar."They offered me a job to play for the rest of the summer.And I've been playing ever since,"Chapman says."I've told that story so many times,but it's absolutely true.If it hadn't been raining that night,I wouldn't be talking to you."
The British guitar player has spent the 50 years since then on the road He released some praised albums in the 1970s,but his health went downhill in the 80s and 90s.Like a lot of British artists in the 1960s,Chapman taught himself to play the guitar by listening to American jazz and blues records.
Chapman actually taught photography,but quit when he was 26to play music full time.When he was starting out,he was often compared to other British acoustic (原声的)guitar heroes of the time,like John Martyn and Bert Jansch.
"The fascinating thing about Michael Chapman is that he doesn't fit in with those guys of his generation,"says Andrew Male,a music journalist."He's always been an outsider.He never moved to London."
And while he never became part of the London music scene,Chapman was noticed by those musicians."The 70s caught up with him in the 80s,"Male says."He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off.When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s,people had forgotten about him."
But not everyone.A younger generation of musicians in America,including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gunn,recently rediscovered Chapman.
"We wanted to capture Michael's voice and character where he is now.You know,it's a little road-weary,but he still has it,"Gunn says."For me,it was really important to get that right.""He's the right old musician for present times,"Male says."I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where we're at."
