Good story, JC. I don't know either if it's true, but it sounds like it could be. If there are any guitarists out there, maybe they could weigh in -- is it possible for a virtuoso to be inept at tuning?

Here's a story I heard - don't know if it's true, but if it is, it's funny. During a concert, Chet stopped to give his guitar a quick tuning, but only made it incrementally worse and worse out of tune. After a while, he stopped and apologized to his audience something like, "Sorry - I know how to play 'em, but I can't tune 'em."

I love the guitar interplay between Chet and Les Paul.. Chester and Lester if I remember correctly... talk about wild stuff. J
