Thanks for the heads up but I probably won't be re-posting it.

There are many great players but Chet is definitely one of my favs. The man oozes taste and class. His humility is an example that anyone should follow. The arrogance displayed by so many people, much less "stars" is so unbecoming. A person can only hope to die knowing he was loved as much as this man. Great musician. Stellar human being.

Only Chet is worthy of 64 years of listening!!

this vid is an an example of what youtube is great at--not the goofy stuff that gets voted up so high, but this archival footage that someone was wise enough to keep and now we can all see and learn from. It's wonderful history. Thanks for posting.

Good comment. I agree. That is why people loved him. I do too.

Here is hoping that some television station puts all of these clips together and make a Chet Atkins documentary out of it. At least I can hope.
