Micah Yandell (Paul's son) asked me to post this photo of Paul's CGP award.

Craig,
Anyway you can type what it says? I can't see the words very well.

As for the wording on the plaque, this is what Caryn Wariner sent me:

Whereas, long a fixture as Chet’s band leader and confidant, Paul Yandell was truly invaluable.

Whereas, he is no stranger to accolades for his many contributions to country music, the Nashville recording community, and the guitar world in his own rights.

Whereas, observing that Paul Yandell was involved in the distribution of all the c.g.p. honors as Chet’s assistant, and being extremely humble and modest, recused himself of that very honor.

Be it resolved by the Atkins family that throughout the land Paul Yandell, thumbpicker supreme, be known as the last and final a c.g.p., certified guitar player. Paul, you are truly the c.g.p.’s c.g.p

Wow! That couldn't have been said any better.

Thanks Tompicks!

Fabulous!

It's been quite a week for Chet and myself Merle Atkins Chet's daughter along with the Atkins family gave me the biggest surprise of my life I can't say how I felt , the HOF has done a 96 page book about Chet and it is the best thing I ever seen on Chet it is $19.95 everyone should get one, Fred and Dinah Gretsch has done a great thing for Chet to keep his legacy alive if you have a chance to see it please do you will never forget it, thanks to all of you for being my friend, paul y cgp
