Clerk Said 'That Old Man Doesn't Know Real Guitar' to Chet Atkins — Mark Knopfler Walked Right In

Nashville, 1989. A small guitar shop near Music Row, a clerk who believes speed is the only thing that matters anymore, and an old man in a cardigan he's decided isn't worth listening to. "That old man doesn't know real guitar," he says. He has no idea he's talking to Mr. Guitar himself, and even less idea who's about to walk through the front door behind him. This is the story of a clerk who thought he understood where the instrument had gone, two old friends who'd already recorded an entire album together, and the four minutes it took for a quiet Tuesday afternoon to become something nobody in that shop ever forgot.
