As some of you know, Michael Chapdelaine was my first classical guitar instructor, professor, and hero.  I was horrified to hear that recently, while on tour, his house was burglarized and his guitars, studio equipment (including hard drives holding the fruits of thousands of hours of labor), and other personal possessions were taken from him and his wife Suzanne.  This is an enormous blow to Mike and Suzanne but this is also an attack on culture and music in Albuquerque.  This is a loss for the guitar community and for believers in the power of music to change lives for the better.

I ask you to show solidarity with Michael Chapdelaine by helping to support him through this huge transition.  The amount doesn't matter.  Please give at whatever level you are comfortable with.  These funds will be used for day to day expenses to help keep Mike and Suzanne afloat while they transition into different housing.

Please support Michael Chapdelaine and the Albuquerque music scene.  

It is time to stand up.  Thank you for your generosity.

Please share freely.
