The Chetboard

I just got a copy of "Slightly Above Below Average" A Tribute To Chet Atkins By His Friends, and it is about the best tribute album I've ever heard. John McCellan plays some wonderful Chet style guitar and has a very large group of Chet's friends playing on it. It was a wonderful booklet with lots of information, and many great pictures. It is a definate Must Have for Chet Atkins fans. Sorry I don't know how to post a picture of it, but I'm sure somebody else has it by now and will post it. One of the websites on the back is http://www.chetatkinssolosessions.com so I'm sure there is some information there. Great Job John McCellan. Eddie Pennington

I got my copy a few days ago. It is great.

I agree, Eddie - it is among the best Chet tribute compilations ever. John McClellan worked long and hard at getting it done, and his dedication to Chet's music shows in each and every cut. Here's a link to the info on his website:
