Another music great passes...


Too many passing, too many passing...Chet Atkins, one of the most influential guitarists in contemporary American music, died yesterday at age 77. For more information about his life and career, see the attached link to a Seattle Times article.

Later this mornning, I'll play one of my favorite albums by Chet, the recording he did with Mark Knopfler titled "Neck and Neck" (Columbia) -- an altogether amiable ramble by two stellar musicians.

There was even a video of "There'll Be Some Changes Made". They play it in what looks like someones livingroom, I wonder if it was recorded there?
Sad to here hes gone, among the most influential player of our time. He has all sorts of recordings, all sorts of styles, with all sorts of guest players. "Neck and Neck" is in my carry case for work, been on vacation so ill have to look for it. Thanks for letting us know.
