  It's crazy for me to reminisce about getting to know Louie back in my Nashville days and becoming his friend and really not truly understanding what an iconic guitarist he was!    I played on one of his smooth jazz projects back in the early 2000's and did some shows with him in town with Dash Crofts (I actually sang the high harmony with Dash on all the Seals And Crofts stuff we did because I was the only guy in the band who sang at all.   I'm not anywhere NEAR a singer so it's still mind boggling to me that I was singing "Summer Breeze" with him!).   Louie and I used to play a lot of golf together---just he and I riding around in a golf cart all day and me not really knowing how huge an influence he was on so many guitarists back then!     He's a sweetheart of a guy and I'm honored to call him a friend.

  Imagine bumping into him in line at a grocery store, ‘Do I know you?’ &nbsp;<br>“No, but you’ve heard my music a million times”<br>So amazing. <br>Legend.

  These musicians were in the stratosphere. No words.

  Killing it! It&apos;s a dilemma: he simultaneously makes me want to play all day, or throw my guitars away.

  Watching this reminds me of how the great guitarist Barney Kessel responded when asked &quot;What was the most difficult part of being a studio musician?&quot; and he replied &quot;Finding a good parking space.&quot;<br><br>(BK was the guitarist on Julie London&apos;s Cry Me a River!)<br><br>These guys are not like you and me! They play like we breathe.

  The true greats seem to have a common trait: true humbleness. The fact that Mr. Shelton is so humble is a testament to his character. All those great records I listened to growing up, I never knew how many he played on. What a true gentleman.
