As I remember, this is a recording of an annual get-together hosted by Muriel Anderson following the Chet Atkins Festival. While the quality of the video itself falls somewhat short, the performances and diversity of music make this video worth owning, particularly for the acoustic guitar lover/player.

You may not now be familiar with names like Ed Gerhard, Lawrence Juber, Preston Reed, or Peppino D'Agostino, but after one viewing you'll find yourself surfing Amazon... for some of their offerings. Other more well know players like Alex DeGrassi and Phil Keaggy make notable appearances appearances as well. Standout performances include an absolutely elegant arrangement by Gerhard of The Water Is Wide, and a remarkable rendition of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing from former Wings bandmate Juber as well as the creative synergy of Keaggy and Andeson performing together on a uniquely rhapsodic version of Tennessee.

If you are interested in seeing and hearing some of the some of the best acoustic guitar talent on earth, buy the video. My only real regret is not having been there when the video was made.
