Snake Chapman

The late Owen ‘Snake’ Chapman was one of the most talented and likable musicians I've had the privilege to meet.  He represented an abundant treasury of all sorts of Southern fiddle music and could effectively illustrate the delicacies required to make a dance tune come alive.  A small sampling of his abundant repertory can be found on his two Rounder CDs, Rdr 0378 and 0418.
