Paul Yandell CAAS photo
Many of us had photos made with our departed musician friend Paul Yandell. Mine is from the 1994 CAAS convention when Paul was debuting his "Going Home" video and songbook. I later worked with Paul on gathering information for the Gretsch CGP guitar by contacting Chet's nephew Jimmy Atkins, who was the last owner of the original before it was sold at a non-disclosure auction in 2002. Upon receiving news of Paul's passing I contacted Jimmy and gave him the news. He said he had a stroke a couple of years ago and can no longer play any of Chet's songs on guitar. Jimmy lives in Stone Mountain, GA.

Re: Paul Yandell CAAS photo
A nice photo to remember Paul. From what I gather he was a decent man and will surely be in God's care along with far too many great pickers in the last decade or so.
