Mr. Atkins,

Thanks for coming to the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos California (was around 1993 or 1994 as I recall) --- you were with Leo Kottke , because of that I was able to have my entire family listen to you play. They were more than impressed.

Thanks to you're inspiration I picked up a Sears guitar and Sears twin 12 tube amp when I was in Jr. High ( around 1962 and then it all started.

My favorite album which to this day , the jacket on the album cover shows you sitting in your recording studio with all the mag tape reel to reel recorders shown.

Happy Birthday Chet.
