Default 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.

His title of "Mr. Guitar" is well-deserved, without question. Thanks for posting.

I saw Chet in Owensboro, Ky. My ex FIL was a big Chet fan and could play anything Chet played. Pure magic.

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
