Paul Chasman's My Page Archices

Paul Chasman holds forth on topics ranging from scales to stage fright.  He discontinued the column shortly after Carl Estrada inhabited his body, at which time he poured his writing efforts into The Carl Letters and The Book of Bob.  Now Paul is back to playing guitar again so it may be only a matter of time before he returns with more musings, opinions, and unsolicited advice.
