Chet Atkins and Merle Travis are probably smiling away from above hearing this played in a manner that pleases them.

super , quel talent bravo l'artiste

After listening to that fabulous version of the song just makes me want to put my guitar in the case and quit....Ray Cummins is the best there is on doing a tribute to the great Chet Atkins!

Excellent playing.

I could listen to this well into the night

What pleasure it is to hear those tones on such an old guitar. Gretsch makes great guitar players too! Thank you Ray for making my day a whole lot brighter.

The Way I WISH I could play the guitar... beyond excellent

Superb playing....very tasty. The guitar has that characteristic tinny Gretsch tone that drives me nuts. Even Chet didn't start to get a good recorded sound until the 60's, most notably on his Guitar Country LP.

that was neat. very neat. EXTREMELY NEAT
