Aunt Aggie considers this negro music and won't have it in her house.

Actually it just makes me imagine cowboys chasing cows around at 20x speed.

Same for me. These notes won't ever be "actually a song" to me.

My late gramma's favorite musical artist was Boots Randolph (for the sake of the story I'm ignoring Margaret Whiting), so I grew up hearing Yakety Sax in an un-ironical setting. To me it was never Benny Hill music.

Yup. So good with chicken pickin.

its a Gretch Country Gentleman, 1972

The guitar they'd name after him

Oops, my bad.

It's the bass that's giving it the country sound. The yakety axe notes are innocent.

Finger picking alone might not be the measure of "best" on the guitar. Banjo maybe, but I think quite a few people have mastered the guitar far better than Chet here.
