Widow of Chet has joined him upstairs. I'm sure Mark knew her well.

interesting to read this quote:
"She'd tell stories about the hours he'd practice, how he'd play and fall asleep with the guitar still in his lap. She'd take it out of his lap and put him to bed."


seem to know that from somewhere...

Chet was a great loss. I still remember with tears in my eyes the day he died. I was in Madrid in a friend
