Paul Chasman

The Heavy Gauge String Band with Paul Chasman, Tom Miller and Gordon KeaneBefore The Book of Bob, before The Carl Letters, before the Acoustic Guitar Summit, before I Hope, Songs From the Bay, Sonatas, Prokofiev, and Real Songs, there was:  

THE HEAVY GAUGE STRING BAND

The Heavy Gauge String Band with Paul Chasman, Tom Miller and Gordon KeaneWell, actually The Heavy Gauge String Band didn’t come before Prokofiev, but it did come thirty years before Paul Chasman transcribed Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata #7 for guitar.  

Now, for the first time, The Heavy Gauge String Band’s distinct blend of country blues, bluegrass, and old-time music can be heard on CD.

The disk captures the chemistry of a group that delighted fans in Portland, Oregon in 1973.   For admirers of Paul Chasman’s music, “The Heavy Gauge String Band 1973” CD represents his earliest released recording, six years ahead of his first solo album.  It gives a rare glimpse into an early stage of the artist’s development, just at the moment he would come into his own.

If I say: Heavy Gauge String Band, Gordon Keane, Tom Miller, CAGED System, flatpicking, fingerpicking, bluegrass, blues, acoustic guitar, 8-string guitar, Acoustic Guitar Summit, harmonics, Prokofiev, Ash Grove, Rob Ehlers, Jefferey Elliott, and Woodley White (not to be confused with Clarence White),  I’ll also get more visits, bytes, rams, megapixels, iPods, and mp3’s. If I ask questions in my letters like, “Was the Heavy Gauge String Band, featuring Gordon Keane, Paul Chasman, and Tom Miller, a bluegrass band or a blues band?”  and “When Paul Chasman played in the Heavy Gauge String Band, featuring Gordon Keane, Paul Chasman, and Tom Miller, did he incorporate his CAGED System?  Did he play an 8-string guitar?  Had he developed his system of harmonics that was later heard when Paul Chasman played with the Acoustic Guitar Summit (featuring Mark Hanson, Doug Smith, Terry Robb, and Paul Chasman)?” then I will be sure to get high ratings on the search engines and a few  hybrid and hydrogen powered engines, too.

Did I mention the CAGED system, harmonics, fingerpicking, flatpicking, bluegrass, blues, jazz, classical, Prokofiev, Ash Grove, Rob Ehlers, Jefferey Elliott, and Woodley White (not to be confused with Clarence White)?
