I think I was there that year. I remember seeing Buster in a wheelchair and his wife. I asked her if they felt special because they were friends with Chet. She thought for a second then said "Yes, I guess we do". Lovely people. I never will forget that. I hade to 😂 when Chet said "I was 4F...they said I had a weak thumb" !!!

Mr. Grinner, I’m sure we have met !? But, I appreciate your posting these videos! Nokie was a great friend to me and to so many others! All of Nokie’s friends and fans miss him so much! Thanks again! CG.

Hello. You are so very welcome. I'm thrilled to get these great events posted. Such amazing people all coming together to admire the art. I have never been to one and am realizing how I missed out. I lived in Nashville when this one happened. Back to Muhlenberg now days. I'd be glad to transfer any tapes you would like to share. I was given the archives of Muhlenberg County to transfer and share by my friend, and prob yours.. Marilyn Kirtley. Blessings!

I was not there in 1998… but, it seems as though I was. I have similar video from later years! CG
