Thread Name: Obit: Farewell, Chet Atkins.... (1924-June 2001)
Subject: RE: Farewell, Chet Atkins....
The first verse of "Ode" by Arthur O'Shaughnessy would seem relevant to Chet, methinks. "We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers, and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems." He will be in good company this week - "Good night, sweet Chet."
