      @@Goldenrod01 This was at a special John Knowles workshop in Dallas, TX back in the '90's. Instructional DVD's were the latest thing then & Chet was receiving lots of requests for a DVD. John Knowles arranged a session of handpicked guitarists to meet with Chet & play for him a selection of tunes & ask him questions after he played them. I was selected to play "Happy Again" for him. I went blank half way thru the tune & Chet picked up on his guitar were I left off & he & I finished the song together. He noticed my disappointment in my performance, so he whispered in my ear not to worry about it & that had happened to him many times before!!! We were forbidden to film the event with our camcorders, so all I have is the memory of this special event, which is one of greatest events of my life!!!!!

      I was also a privileged to be in the audience when Ray Stevens gave an outstanding performance at the Holiday Star Theater (now gone) in Merrillville IN in around 2001. He gave all he had and got a standing ovation. We clapped till our arms literally dropped.
      There's nothing like seeing them in person, especially at small intimate gathers.

I studied 12 years classicale guitar en Chet style. He is my hero I own 60 LP' s from Chet and own this LP too. Much of his songs are difficult ( can' t play wit my left thumb on the fretboard), because I have short hands (Chet has big hands), @the age of 70, I 'm listening his albums most every day!

    Nico, Today I am a Happy Man. I guess in all these past years I never really looked in the right place. This past week I did. As you are aware, this wonderful LP was only released in Europe (Recorded Live in Paris). Last week I did tap into Discog and found many copies in France, Germany, Sweden, etc. I finally bought a Mint, Mint- copy in Germany. It's now a done deal and hopefully wafting its way to San Diego. What I never understood is why RCA only released this album in Europe considering Chet's position with RCA in the United States. It's not only a phenomenal performance by Chet and his supporting players, it appears to also be a phenomenal quality sound recording. Live recordings can be iffy at best, but the recording engineers at the Olympic Theater that night had their "A" game on! I'm sure Chet had a big hand in that, perfectionist that he was. Nico, thank you so much for bringing this magic recording to light. Chet fans around the world owe you a great deal of gratitude!

    My brother saw all three concerts at the Olympia in Paris and was blown away because Chet Atkins played mostly different tunes each evening. It is also noteworthy that so many tunes are played on the acoustic guitar in the style of the "Alone" or "Picking my Way" albums, whereas in the US all the recorded appearances of that period show Chet using the electric guitar a lot more. The reason I think is that Chet Atkins was well advised by Marcel Dadi about the French audience: he introduced Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed's music to the French audience from the early 70's and recorded his 4 first albums until 1979 mostly on acoustic guitars with very little background music, more in plain Merle Travis style, and the French audience of that time much preferred to see the plain "naked" guitar player. So, this is is a unique and extraordinary opportunity to hear Chet Atkins play so many tunes on nylon strings in one concert.

      I've got the book about Lenny Breau that's called One Long Tune. I actually learned a lot about Chet that I didn't know before from that book. Chet was the consummate musical businessman. I always wondered why Chet never quoted other tunes in the midst of a song. I'm sure now that it's because he knew it would increase the number of people that royalties had to be paid to.

    Chet said he did his "fingerstyle" guitar technique, because he "didn't know any better." After awhile, he began realizing some of those solo stylings he did were originally done by guitarists and groups with multiple guitars playing at once. But he could copy "multiple guitarists" playing those songs -- by himself. "Didn't know any better," huh? Well I've never heard "any better" either.
