Always enjoyed his style.

Agreed, Steel'. He was a great and humble man. RIP, Chet.

Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me.

Thanks for the video links.

Here he is with one of his favorite singers (and mine) doing a really sweet little video. The best thing about Suzy Bogguss is that she doesn't "sing country".... she just sings! And the solo spot with Chet sitting in that grouping of guitars is awesome.....

Enjoy, folks--->>> http://youtu.be/TZR_Rg93PQc

I've always liked this one of Chet and Jerry:

I particularly like one of the comments:
"God-- give us Chet and Jerry back and we will give you Lady? Gaga, Justin Beiber and any 5 rappers of your choice. "

That cracks me up for some reason. Not that I have a problem with any of those people......... :| :|
