The tune is called Recuerdos de la Alhambra




A little trivia. Chet married Leona Johnson in 1946 who sang with the Carter Sisters, one of which, June Carter became Johnny Cash's wife.

A fun interview with Tommy talking about Chet Atkins when Tommy was learning how to play at 6 years old in Australia.

  2. DeanO, The internet is a beautiful thing. I often remember my days as a systems manager when only 'green' screens were available. Just printed text on the screen. No internet, no pictures, no media, nothing.
    It is amazing.
    Google may be liberal leaning, but those boys are genius.
