It does sound like that "yip" I do, Mark..but, unfortunately for me (and, fortunately for everybody else) I wasn't one of the lucky people in the audience to hear that gem of a performance..

Keep on pickin',

Well, Palmer, I thought that I was probably joking.

That is just outstanding!!! There was something magical about the way that those two played together.

I kinda knowd you were joakin', Mark. However, one of the few times I actually saw Chet live was in a dinner theater down in Dallas during the mid 70's. They had this little stage that rotated like a Lazy Susan in the middle of the audience and I was sitting at a front table, so I got to see Chet come around and around. I was a little disappointed that he didn't play all that much "thumb pickin", but when he did and "grabbed a good lick" - he'd remember where he had heard "yips" from the audience and kinda held his guitar out to us. Now, remember he was going around and around like a kid on a merry-go-round, but he'd still remember where we were! I got dizzy watching him. lol

PS That little stage was on cables that lifted it up to and into the ceiling. This allowed for a more dramatic "entrance" for performers as the stage was lowered while being announced. I don'[t think Chet "came out of the ceiling", but Earl Scruggs and his band did, another time. Funny as all get out as they were late starting in the first place and when the announcer finally was saying something like, "Now, ladies and gentlemen - the King of Bluegrass, Earl Scruggs." the stage started to drop down out of the ceiling, but somebody had left the lights on in the attic and you could clearly see this BIG BILLOWING PUFF of smoke pour out of ceiling along with the band! Must be they were cold and had built a bonfire up there. lol
