Chet Atkins interview in his private back yard, 1992

[@David-ig8of]

Chet is a national treasure....it's impossible to count what his contribution to American music amounts to...

[@andynew2]

A great man whom I had the pleasure of meeting in 1994. Claes was also another great picker who will be sadly missed.

It´ s so Great , Never knew that Chet played on Elvis Recording ! Little Sister ! WoW 🎸🌟

[@eddylauterback1312]

It looks like 2200 sq. ft. from.the street. Couldn't see the basement from the front.

[@billday6744]

Im glad he thinks 22.000 sq ft is a small house I love Chet I wouldnt touch a guitar had I not heard Chet met Chet in 88 a great guy

[@scottfoster1083]

I wondered if he meant 2200, maybe... ;)

[@billday6744]

That would be my guess 2200 square ft is equal to 10 4 bedroom ranch style home s here in ohio Ive learned to about Chet he has that stale dry sense of humor he could be messing with them@@scottfoster1083

[@pb12661]

@@scottfoster1083 he no doubt made a mistake. no way that is/was a 22,000 sq. foot house. lol

Norske Intervjue. First question: "How does the Nashville Sound compare with Norweigian mountain song? " I'm already laughing hard. Then Chet tells the one about he has a "good fiddle" -- " a Stradivarius, and I bought it new!" LOLOLOL. Intervjuer still not quite catching on, Chet says "...that's a joak. J-O-A-K , joak. " [ and here's chet making fun of himself, because his jokes are delivered so dry that he needs to spell them out] 💚💙💜 The thing that I find truly amazing, that Chet at 4:30 saying he doesnt have many people over to his recording studio/basement because it's become an exclusive neighbordood and he's worried the neighbors would complain, forcing him to take his studio downtown. 😲 Wha???? The one person who almost singlehandedly created 75% of Nashville's economy...afraid they would push him out of his own home for playing music. MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!

[@americanparser]

A "little" 22,000 square foot house? Let's hope he meant a 2200 square foot house. I doubt that his wife was cleaning a 22,000 square foot home by herself.

[@MarkHenes]

here in TN 2,200 sq ft is typical for us. He meant 2,200.

[@procarpenter1788]

These have to be the most humorless, wooden people I’ve ever seen. Poor Chet. He remained gracious.

[@སྒྲདབྱངས]

Great one

[@robertmac7833]

Yes indeed!

[@terryholder4667]

I OFTEN WONDER IF HE EVER RECORDED SONGS AND SINGING ALONG. MY SON SAYS HE CANT ENTERTAIN JUST PLAYING GUITAR WITHOUT SINGING. HE HAS A GOD GIVEN TALENT AND AN ACCOMPLISHED GUITARIST. HE PLAYS ALONG WITH ME ON THE ACCORDION FOR ALL MY SHOWS FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS. NEVER READ A NOTE. HE. KNOWS MORE THAN I DO. HE CORRECTS ME WHEN I MISS A CHORD OR PLAY THE WRONG ONE. BEEN PLAYING ACCORDION SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. AT THIS WRITING I AM 82.

Why are you screaming with the caps lock on?
