Thanks, I missed your reference. I met Chet Atkins in the men’s locker room just before playing golf at a Nashville country club in ‘73. We we alone, and when I asked him about those that had influenced him, he named Les Paul first, though not the only source. Floyd Crammer came in and our talk was ended.

Known as Lester and Chester, they preformed together, and it’s covered in Chasing Sound: Les Paul. I think almost every great guitar player over the past fifty years has payed homage to Les Paul, and rightly so!
