Paul ‘Tonka’ Chapman - guitarist of UFO sadly passed. R.I.P

Grunfeld

First heard him with Lone Star.  Great band who released their debut album at exactly the wrong time.

Then noticed him as he took over Schenker's role in UFO.  What kind of poisoned chalice was that? No one can step into those boots.

I liked Chapman, and cos I like UFO I thought what he did to keep the band going was good. 

So, for me, it's all about that debut Lone Star album.

I'm sorry he's gone, but that's a great album.
