Awesome, thanks for part 2. So many stories, so much to gather in and try to piece together and mold the music so many of us loved, and still love. Obviously Shelby was more a businessman, but it's all linked together. Almost chuckled toward the end when he said Chet was the most talented guitarist. Not that I disagree, but he had admitted that he didn't know the 'music' side of the industry. I think that says a lot about Chet, if you think about it. From an earlier comment - you may not consider yourself a 'teacher', but you are certainly the conduit between the teachers and the students. Priceless! There - I said it again. Thank you Joe.

About a year and a half ago, thanks to a connection through one of my friends, I was invited to have lunch in Brentwood at City Cafe, with my friend singer-songwriter Jim Casey, Bob McDill, Dickey Lee, Allen Reynolds and Garth Fundis. Towards the end of lunch Jim was telling a story about Ray Stevens playing piano at Shelby Singleton's funeral, about 10 minutes later when we got up to pay our bills and leave, one of the guys noticed that John Singleton was sitting at the table behind me and went over to say hello. I felt like I had stepped in to an alternative dimension, getting to be a part of it for an afternoon. 😀

He was right about the downloads of music back in 2004.
