Rayman, I would normally assume, by the sheer idiocy of your posts, that you have been merely trying to "stir the sh*t", and that you are actually a big fan of Chet's. (I never cared much for that type of "humor", by the way.) But I'm gonna' take your words at face value and just go with the premise that you are a total fool, (and an arrogant one at that!), who has never accomplished anything in music--and never WILL. You seem to be searching for a pathway to greatness, but belittling a true ICON is not the route to take. Chet was so "jealous" of fiddle and steel players that he featured Bud Isaacs and Dale Potter on one of his first RCA LPs! After he became head of A.and R. of RCA-Nashville, Chet was so envious of steel players that he continued to hire Pete Drake, Jimmy Day, Lloyd Green, Weldon Myrick, and nearly every other top steel player to play on records for sucessful artists. And,as for fiddle players, Chet was responsible, in a big way, for introducing Johnny Gimble to the Nashville session scene. Aside from the intangible-----the number of aspiring musicians who Chet inspired to make music their life's career, there is also the tangible---the number of players who owe their lenghthy studio careers to the fact that Chet wasn't afraid to hire un-tested musicians to play on major record dates. As you are probably aware of, Chet's days are "numbered." He may not be with us this time next year. But, when all is said and done, his name--along with his many accomplishments--will forever be a major part of the American musical landscape. Will we ever be able to say the same of YOU? If so, you are one hell of a man! If not, you're just the snivelling little ****-ant I assumed you were after reading your first post on this topic. VERY sincerely, Gregg Galbraith

Most of you probably don't like the song (or maybe haven't even heard it). But, sounds like ya'll might want to join in for a chorus of Aaron Tippin's latest single: "Kiss This". Chet, you're the best. May God make your final days here with us as comfortable as possible. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all. ------------------ [This message was edited by David Pennybaker on 13 October 2000 at 09:58 PM.] |
