My trip to Nashville for the CAAS 2001 has been one of the most exciting moments of my not too short carreer. The answer of the the public and the presence of so many great players made the event unforgettable. A very special thank to Mark Pritcher, the president of the Association, that asked me to play because one of the players was missing. It was my very first solo gig in almost fifteen years of live music, on the stage that saw the likes of John Knowles and Tommy Emmanuel (both C.G.P.), Thom Bresh, Buster B. Jones, Jim & Morning Nichols, Richard Smith; and Guy Van Duser, Pat Kirtley, Todd Hallawell, Stephen Bennett, Brent Mason, Scotty Anderson, John Jorgenson, to name some of them, all in debt of something with the great Chet Atkins. It was without any doubt the most important guitar festival in the world.
