[musictlk] Trouble with Chet Atkins guitar chords

[Marion Gwizdala]

Michael,
    I was listneing to Tommy Emanuel performing Classical Gas when my 
computer did something funny and I lost sound. I thought Tommy burned up my 
sound card! All I can say is "Wow!"
    Since we are going to Dallas for convention, here is an offering by Leo 
Kottke.

Fraternally yours,
