Every time Radio Paradise slows things down too much (especially with extreme elevator music like Primavera), Radio Paradise goes off and I end up dialing in Radio Caroline or Sky FM. I saw Chet Atkins in Fargo before he died, so maybe I have a different connection, but that's what so many of us love about RP. Keep it coming—up, down, and around! Incredibly delightful concert, by the way! |

| nook (gone) | Posted: Oct 16, 2012 - 13:47 you and me both friend. Saw Dave play in Oakland at Yoshi's a couple of years ago, and he blew me away. I've never had the chance to see Chet play live, but TV, videos, duets with other like Mark Knopfler, plus the fact that I pretend to play a 12 string so I think I have a clue, all tell me that man was a giant among those who actually play. He and Leo Kottke are my guitar heros, each for his own reason. Collectively they do things with ONE instrument that pretty much defy logic. AlienRelic wrote: I want to ride on THAT elevator. |

| bokey | Posted: Aug 14, 2012 - 12:56 Oh Chet, if you would have only stuck with the guitar and let Nashville alone. |

| jberko (Franklin, TN) | Posted: Jun 28, 2012 - 16:37 Wow... How? |
| V-bro (Amsterdam) | Posted: Mar 25, 2012 - 08:35 It is when stuff like this is sounding so smooth and easy that it is in fact not, but incredibly hard to play it sounding so effortless. It takes a master of the guitar... Jawdropping track!  |
| unclehud (300 feet above the planet) | Posted: Feb 06, 2012 - 13:43 Well, well, well! Chet's chillin' and it's mighty fine. |
| Seahunt (Parent's Basement) | Posted: Dec 21, 2011 - 05:10 What a great version. Didn't even think of this (duh). Trying to learn it on guitar and now I have a new study version. Thanks RP! |
| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Nov 19, 2011 - 11:17 Children, children, eat your broccoli, finish your homework, then grow up and appreciate Chet Atkins. I'm 57 years young and never really appreciated Chet's stuff until later in life. You youngins has got all the rest of your days to dig it. Dig it? |

| Proclivities (Carrboro, NC) | Posted: Sep 01, 2011 - 10:28 dedawson wrote: Sorry, but at this point, ANY version of Take Five is no more than a hackneyed cliche Well, this was recorded around 1973, not really "at this point", and it's an interpretation of a jazz standard - I guess that can be considered "cliche" by some. Is there such a thing as an "unhackneyed cliche"? |
| billyfields | Posted: Sep 01, 2011 - 10:17 Had I heard this anywhere else I would have dismissed as elevator-ish and gone back to my usual distracted thoughts.. When RP plays this kind of stuff, following my perfunctory WTF .. I try to give the music its due. In many cases I learn something. Listening to Atkins and remembering this is one fellow on an acoustic guitar (not a 10 piece orchestra) kind of overwhelms. |

 My evening was sucky as I found some unknown sticky and difficult to remove substance had filled my fridge-thankfully Radio Paradise has been kicking some serious energizing tunes this evening. Mucho gracious! I am afraid to ask... But I agree with you on Chet. He and his Gretsch (among others) were magic. |

I can do without Tori Amos, but it fits with this groove. All my errands are done, and I'm settling into a nice space for the night. The music is perfect for it... (Uh, except for this really horrific Bonobo intro...)  |

| canadapaul | Posted: Nov 06, 2009 - 22:17 agree with some of the previous comments; a bit unnecessary. I will say if I would choose anyone to do this, it would be Chet though. plus that foot-keeping-the-beat thing is a bit unsettling. nonetheless, probably sounds while drinking egg nog... |
