I was scheduled to play at Muriel Anderson's All-Star Guitar Night in the summer of 1995 at the Stutler club in Nashville. I had planned on attending my first ever Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention that following weekend, and hopefully get a glance of Chet.

Then, Lo and behold through the dark mysterious shadows comes Chet with an assistant. He quickly noticed my 10-String classical guitar and came over to say hi. I completely lost it!!!!! He was so gracious. He let me have this great picture with him. I just couldn't handle it alone, so I asked Happy Traum to join me in the photo (Happy and I played together later on). And to my surprise, Preston Reed walked by and jumped into the picture. I truly love this picture as it is every aspect of guitar - the innovator(s), the educator, the student(s), and the future. I also got a chance to play for Chet then too. Talk about happy!!!!
