Doug, thanks for the slide show. I have this song, it was on one of Chet's CDs, but it may have been a compilation.

Just discovered this one a few days ago. Had to comment this is a real treat. Same for sharing. I am assuming his daughter was named Merle for Merle Travis.

@BettyAlexander That is correct. I spoke with her awhile back. She has fond memories of when she and her daddy made this. Chet was still fairly new in the business at that time. Made the same year I was born!

Well, ol' Doug has a few surprises up his sleeve!
Truth be told, I have lot of that rare Chet stuff. Just takes me a while to get it all posted.

Merry Christmas to you too, Doug.
Thanks for sharing this. I've stumbled onto some performances of Chet that all my life until recently I never knew existed. This for sure is one I never knew about.
My Dad was a friend of Chet's step-brother Jim Atkins. Jim and Chet recorded an LP many moons ago called "Chet Atkins Guitar Genius" which Jimmy sang while Chet backed him up. I have a reel to reel recording of this LP session that Jimmy gave to my Dad with the stopping and starting over 'takes'.
