that`s amazing TJ........nothing in the world compares to listening to an artist with just a handful of folks present

on a non-related note,in regards to your past trade,did you ever get the opportunity to visit Bethlehem Steel after it closed down?

Great post. I've always viewed Chet Atkins for his light, carefree reflection: Swedish Rhapsody, Snowbird, One Mint Julep, rather than the heavy introspection of Don McLean - but it works.

growing up.....he was much too country for me to ever listen to....when he collaborated with Mark Knoffler in 1990,I became aware of just what I`d been missing........."eat your broccoli,someday you`ll LIKE it !"......mom was right

@john-barry Excellent !  I came to all this stuff from '50s Rock 'n' Roll : Buddy Holly, Everlys and Presley of course, but the older I get the more I return to country and in particular Tex Mex including Freddy Fender.  There is a universality about it that I think your posted video alludes to.

I had forgotten ALL about Freddy Fender....another "copyright-able" voice.....I had one(two) of his songs on a jukebox in a small bar,lifetimes ago....the timber and clarity of his voice is unique

I just looked to see if maybe FF had ever duet-ed with Linda Ronstadt.....no luck there
