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.

I am sad to hear of his passing as well. Neck and Neck is one of favorite albums too. Listen to that and you'll know what real virtuoso guitar players sound like. Their talk on 'Money for Nothing' as hysterical. I think I'll get my copy out too.
