And a flat Bigsby bar. Must have been one of those promotional moments. And it's rare to see Henry playing an upright bass.

Thanks for posting this video. I recall hearing Chet play this tune I think with Arthur Fiedler and I always thought it would make a great solo. Here is my arrangement for solo guitar:

It probably would be better on Nylon strings.

Guy Van Duser also has a nice arrangement on his 'Staying on the Atkins Diet' cd. He calls it "The Bridge Over The River Kwai". (The tile of the movie that used it as its theme song) .

Chet sounded great doing that...of course and why not.

TConner, that was very good - I appreciate you posting it.

Is Guy Van Duser's "Staying on the Chet Atkins Diet" available on CD anywhere ?

AJBREMER- Thank you!
