    7 years without Chet Atkins

    One of much apriciated artist. Loved his guitar performance, and album with Mark was very,very good.

    On 30th of June 2001, he left us without his guitar sound for good.

    I don' t know what to believe in... but it Heaven exists, there' s a stage there, on which he plays and sings along with our poor friends... Stevie Ray, John Lee, Danny, Randy, Johnny... and who knows, many others...

    WHAT A SHOW THERE! Hope it' s right like this.

    Has it really been 7 years!!! what a big loss, Chet was a huge invluence to a lot of players, and it is no supprise that Mark is now more of a song writer than guitar hero, because i feel after he lost his mentor in Chet, Mark doesn't have another guitar player around who he can play with like he did with Chet. The perfect example being when they played Imagine together, the respect Mark was showing Chet was huge.

    Wow, 7 years already.. Unbelievable! Mark and Chet fitted together wonderfully, their album ("Neck and Neck") is brilliant and always cheers me up.. It must be great to have had someone so inspiring to work with, have fun with and just play guitar with, for both of them. May he have found peace.
