    Dude you really need to stop saying let’s get the ad out of the way and broadcasting that stuff like you do. Just watch how most others do it. Just slide it in and continue on. Stop highlighting it every damn video. There are so many people who do graves just watch them they all do it basically the same way. You don’t have any other niche so just try to run on their backs and keep the “ads” down

    Chet is my great uncle. He passed when I was 8 or 9 years old. I have very vague memories of him playing Barney songs on the guitar for me. Thank you so much for this video

      how could they ever forget ? I was a fan, when Shadows Hank Marvin, was considered the greatest ( with 3 cords )

    In the late 40s Chet was playing with Mother Maybell and her daughters on KWTO radio in Springfield, Missouri. WSM wanted the Carters to come to the Opry but they did not want Chet. "We have enough guitar players in Nashville." It was a testament to Maybell's character that she said she was not interested unless Chet came with them. They relented and Chet made history in Nashville. Both Maybell and Chet had lots of character.

    First I discovered Duane Eddy in about 1958 as a young boy then later I heard about Chet and started buying his LPs. Those great old album covers were super
    promotional tools for Chet's signature Gretsch guitars. Been to Chet's grave twice and both times found an assortment of thumb picks that fans had left. His marker is as modest as he was. I don't think he would have been comfortable with huge
    gaudy headstone. Chet's talent and influence can never be underestimated. He was simply the best.

    I met Chet, briefly, in Bristol UK, in a local Record Store, where he was promoting his records and his up-coming Live show in Bristol. He signed about 4 CDs for me , but couldn't understand my questions / Accent, or I his. He kept asking his companion-''what'd ;e say ? I later saw the show of course, and it was---naturally, GREAT.

    I attended the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention the week after my Daddy died. I went out Chet’s grave, broke a thumb pick into and wrote “Chet, my Dad is waiting on you to pick in Heaven” and stuck into the ground on his gravesite. My Daddy and I used to listen to Chet’s 15 minute weekday radio show and sometimes when the signal would grow weak we’d go out to the car and listen.
