Lover... Come Back to Me.

.
.
I don't see anything in the news or in American or world society or even the universe I feel like talking about tonight, so let's do some more Chet.


Another older version of Chet from his instructional video "The Guitar of Chet Atkins" playing Lover Come Back. He keeps all the strings humming in this one.
(By the way, he's not smiling at his own playing, he is smiling at how the composer put this tune together for him to play, which he mentions in the video as he describes how to play it, also noting the nice lick he got from Jerry Reed that he plays around the 1:33 mark)

  2. DeanO, Glad you liked it. I like the raw un-orchestrated guitar stuff as you can probably tell.

  5. There is nothing so romantic as being reunited with one's beloved.

  6. Opus, yes, the physical consummation of endless dreaming, longing and lonely nights. Nothing better I'd say.

  10. Bunni, I agree. Even though he is gone, I think he may be the best even with today's players.

    Just the sheer volume of work and diversity - country, classic, rock, jazz, big band..
