When you gave me the correct name the gray matter finally connected. IN fact I run into "Steve Chandler" once in a while here in Nashville. I just went duh when you straightened out my thinking. YOu any kin to my wife? :) Yep you are correct. When you gave me the correct name the gray matter finally connected. IN fact I run into “Steve Chandler” once in a while here in Nashville.

The other was Larry Magaliner (spelling?) Are we not confusing the engineer with the guitar player. Got to thinking about that and it didn't jive with what I remember.

I only worked with him a couple of times for I built a studio of my own about that time in Paducah, KY. Yeah…Steve Chapman, he was the guy who replace Jim (Duke) Dumas.

The Goodmans used a guitarist simply named Steve Chapman quite a lot. A really good musician, and a great attitude. He was who I meant. Sorry for the confusion. Having said that, Stephen Curtis Chapman isn't bad on the guitar himself, and he's done fairly well, hasn't he?! Sorry, Mr. Curtis - not Stephen Curtis Chapman.

Steven at the time was a little kid full of questions at the time who simply tagged along with his Dad from time to time. Like any 11-12 year old, he was a pain to have in the studio while you were trying to work. But he was a good kid, just as he has become a good father. #14, I never worked with Steven Curtis Chapman but I have worked with his dad, Herb Chapman many times.

I also worked a lot at Electric Arts, also almost exclusively with Rusty. Their players were extremely good and versatile, and I agree 100% on your drummer remarks. But, said drummer wasn't about to be replaced! Like The Goodmans or not, like their style or not, being asked to join their band in their heyday was considered anything but musical purgatory. Steve Chapman was also one outstanding guitarist who I'm sure you worked with.

I worked a great deal at Goodman's Studio in Madisonville, KY in those days (mostly for Rusty) and it was a great band to work with. A different drummer and it could have been even better. Aaron and I were just talking about those days not long ago when we worked a concert with him.

As noted he went to the Statesmen as bass player and left the group at the same time as Sherrill Nielsen to form the Rangers (later called Voice) with Donnie Sumner. You can hear Tim's singing on the album "Distilled Gospel" by Nielsen, Sumner, Baty and Others. Others included Tony Brown (piano), John Rich (of Oaks) on guitars and Billy Blackwood on drums. Album says it is "100 proof gospel." The bass player is Tim Baty.
