Chet Atkins recorded this tune around 1950. Sadly there is not video of him playing the tune this way.
Here is Richard Smith playing it darn close to the way Chet recorded it. Richard Smith at the age of 11 could play literally any tune Chet had recorded to that point and there is or was a youtube of Richard on stage with Chet playing a few tunes.
Hope ya like it.
Rewind to the start if needed.

ReplyDeleteSTRANGER. IMO ALL YOU IDIOTS *ARE* THIS SHAW CREATURE YOU BLEAT ABOUT.
DeleteTAKE THIS TO HEART. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE. NONE OF US GIVE A CRAP ABOUT MENTAL CASE LIBTARDS. OK? PLEASE STAY AWAY. I've asked you nicely.
ReplyDeleteIn regard to what’s happening in Iraqi today, you can thank that piece of shit Obama for giving his Mullah buddies billions of dollars in cash to finance anti American terrorist attacks.
You Moon Bats were idiots electing that worthless piece of Muslim loving affirmative action shit Obama. Shame! This shit that is going on now is a direct result of Obama's policies toward Iran.
Opinion. Of course.
DeleteHappy New Year, Kid1
ReplyDeleteLife wouldn't be much fun without good music, would it?
Got to have the music Franco. They're not making much good music anymore either.
DeleteSmith is a very fine, super-capable guitarist, but frankly he lacks that elusive, hard-to-define quality we call "charisma," ––something Tommy has in spades and Chet had too in a quieter way.
ReplyDeleteWhile Tommy's playing and relaxed stage presence seem as natural to him as breathing, Smith looks tense to me, and I can tell he's wroking hard. Might like him better if I could just listen to him without having to look at him.
The differene between Smith, Tommy AND CHET is the same as the difference between an EXPERT and an ARTIST.
Franco, Richard also strikes me as more 'technical' than 'feeling'. Well, play it in the background. Like magic acts I think it's more fun to not know how it's done. As a kid I tried for years to figure out how Chet played it on the record my Dad had. Never did.
DeleteGreat pickin..... :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like Bunk.
DeleteThat Crazy Lunatic Joe Biden suggested that the country would see a recession under President Trump, leaving him with another economic mess to deal with if he entered the White House
ReplyDeleteAmerica’s booming Economy should be the lead story in our media.?
But instead of Democrats & their media minions embracing our citizens making & keeping more of their hard-earned money they continue to push their recession conspiracy for politics.
He and his filthy lying ilk will say anything totally removed from reality to gain the White House . And that lying peice of CRAP known as the main Stream media is totally fine with them
These Democratic Scum do not care who they hurt, or what they say in their pursuit of power.
Happy New Year Kid!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Odie ! Stay healthy and keep posting your awesome stuff !
DeleteThis may piss a few of you off by posting this. We can handle it one of two ways: discuss it like adults or you can unfriend me. Your choice. You have your opinion and I have mine. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I add that my ancestors came here from other countries, as did most everyone else's ancestors, and they learned the language and worked and never once did I hear any of them trash America. They became citizens, were proud to be one and some served in the military! I am nice to everyone and I have no problem with anyone coming here and making a good life for themselves and their family, BUT if you are coming here and expect us to become what you just came from, then that’s not happening! Return and work on your country and make it better where you can be proud to live in it.
ReplyDeleteMuslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of AMERICA, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
“IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.”
Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language.
Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.
If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our "culture." We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.
But once you are done complaining and whining about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great AMERICAN freedom,
"THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".
If you aren't happy here, then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you.
NOTE:
IF we circulate this among ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree, please SEND THIS ON and as for those who disagree, move to a country that suits you and live there. "
THANK YOU!
Copy and Paste if you want...I can't be the only American that feels this way...
Good old Chet. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHave a great year LSP.
