Thanks - It was very much in the moment, for sure. 1991, I think Seems like a dream... I've been thinking about Chet a lot lately. His new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame is incredible and the book that goes with it is too. Lot of great players on this show - it was my first time to play with Chet. I still play with Chet's buddy Pat Bergeson (green strat) every chance I get. He's the man. Thanks, Frog!

ATTENTION ALL GUITARISTS: This is the proper way to act. Very classy group of quite accomplished guitar players all enjoying each others playing as much, or even more than there own. Learn it!

One noticeable thing most everyone has left out of their comments is a commendation for the song writer Chet spoke of. What a great song.

I don't know if Eric Johnson is the #1 Rock Guitarist in the world. I don't know where Chet Atkins got that. But Johnson is certainly a great guitarist. There no question about that. But he hasn't been much on the creative side. He does other people's material. Yes he does it great and in his own style. He can play anything and has a lot class in his selections. But he's not had a lot of rock hits. I'm a big admirer of Johnson.

Got my first chops on a Chet Atkins song book around '65. The most country getlenest of 'em all.
