Heartwarming Story From a Fan

August 20th, 2009 by Jim Chappell | Filed under Uncategorized.

I wanted to share this from a fan of mine. How wonderful to be able to be a part of something like this:

…..it was a warm and breezy day in Lahaina. I had a yearning in my heart to drive to the other side of Maui. In my possession I had a new cd entitled , Tender Ritual ….by a pianist
named Jim Chappell. While I got into my car to make the long drive to Hana I thought that once I hit the coast I would pop this cd into the player. Before that I was rocking out to the sounds of Eddie Money…….singing lyric to lyric to , ” Two Tickets to Paradise,” . While driving down the lonely but very beautiful Maui’s highway to heaven…..the road to Hana….
I slipped in the cd……….and never looked back. It was an epiphany in my music . As a rock musican I had never heard such music….the piano was weaving a wonderful mosaic of melodies….I started crying in my car……Blue Racer really touched my soul….the melody
and sound matching every beautiful sight along that rural way. I had to pull over along side a
waterfall to listen to the rest of the cd. I arrived in Hana about 3 hours later smiling ear to ear. My Maui friend Don asked me , ” Hey Brudda…..you look like Heaven’s touched your heart. I quickly replied, “Yes and you gotta hear dis , ” !!!

Aloha and Mahalo Jim

Don
