Master finger style guitarist, John Knowles, CGP, performs his song, Amanda From Barbados, at World Music Nashville in Nashville, TN. John recalls about being a guitar player in Nashville years ago and meeting Les Paul and George Benson. As he recalls, George Benson, Chet Atkins and Knowles worked up a song that was never released into mainstream media. This is the song that they wrote together.
He also comments about how his concert on October 28, 2009 was in competition with The World Series and the opening of Michael Jackson's "This Is It".
Thanks for this beautiful piece by John, hidden in "the can" all too long. Cant help but wonder if other nuggets are out there. Too bad there were no "record buttons" for all those guitar summits in Nashvile during that chunk of years that John speaks of. What a tantalizing thought- about Lenny, John, Chet & Les- oh too have been a fly on the wall for that!
