Bakersfield's Valley Plaza Stores 1977

Recording with Buddy Emmons playing on Shot Jackson Tribute Session with Chet Atkins and others.

Gene Breeden asked me to come back next morning and play acoustic, day 2. at 10 am I asked who am I working with. Gene said "Chet Atkins. Chet's going to talk about Shot Jackson while you're playing acoustic. Just you two." I watched Chet in the vocal booth while I played. A wonderful memory. Love Chet's sense of humor.

 A return to normalcy! -- 'bout time

"We became the woke department. But not anymore," Hegseth said. "No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses, no more climate change worship. No more division, distraction or gender delusions. No more debris. We are done with that."
