Richard Smith is the keeper to so many great songs performed by some legendary guitarist's who's instruments no loner resonate. Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Merle Travis, and Marcel Dadi to name a few. Great song by a great artist brought to the stage at age 11 by Mr Guitar, the Great Chet Atkins, Chets generosity and his contributions to music are measured one great song at a time, this is one of those songs.

Back in the mid '40s, it was on a King record with Hank Penny and it was called "Merle's Buck Dance". The name was changed for Capitol Records.

Some of us appreciate the Nylon just as much, and the increase in difficulty in playing it...

Richard est l'un des meilleurs guitaristes finger Style, il joue parfaitement toutes les pièces de Chet.

There's an old saying for whiners like that:
"If he was being hanged, he'd complain if it
wasn't done with a NEW rope!"

Foolish man to criticise Richard. He is a truly wonderful player, definitely in my top 5 great acoustic guitarists and so tasteful too.
