He is an all time favorite. I have been listening
to Marcel Dadi's music for over 35 years. Started
back when I lived in France. Tragically he died in
1996 when TWA Flight 800 exploded off Long Island.
His albums are just fantastic. He was self-taught
and learned Travis picking by trying to emulate
Chet Atkins recordings when he was young. Dadi later
became great friends with his wax mentor and he and
Chet often played together.
He was a recipient of on of the rare personally
presented CGP "Certified Guitar Player" awards along with
a handful of other recipients they are:
CGP award
Chet Atkins,
John Knowles,
Tommy Emmanuel,
Steve Wariner,
Jerry Reed,
Marcel Dadi,
and Paul Yandell
and now
Saturday Night Shuffle - Marcel Dadi
