I first met Chet at the 1997 CAAS. I was a spectator and was at the 'Chat With Chet' session in one of the side rooms. After the session he invited people up to get autographs. I had my guitar with me and asked him to sign it. He was very down to earth and treated me like I was the only person getting an autograph. I got photographs of him autographing my guitar. Well, let me tell you, at the time, I had been a fan of Chet's for about 30 years. I had never met him before this. It was such an emotional experience for me that I walked out into the hallway with my good friend D.R. Auten and sat down and cried for about five minutes.....I had FINALLY met Chet Atkins!
