Majic of Chet Atkins
Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I've always liked this video. I saw it (many,many) years ago when it originally aired on TV. I especially like the first 2.5 minutes of Recuerdos de la Alhambra.
Wonderful, wonderful music. His arrangements are sublime but very difficult.

Yep, I'm a big fan of his playing also. (Took the playing of Merle Travis to a whole new level).

It's from the Johnny Cash Show. Originally aired August 23, 1969.
The video, embedded:
Additional musical guests on that specific episode of The Johnny Cash Show were John Hartford and Lulu.
Check out Norman Blake on mandolin:
Lulu sings the classic, Morning Dew--covered by loads of folks, of course. My favorite version is by Nova Local (from their lp, Nova 1).

Thanks for that info. Like I said, I saw it many,many years ago on TV, but I couldn't remember just exactly how long ago. Turns out it was much longer ago than I even thought. Man, I'm getting old:eek:
