This song is really a tribute to Chet Atkins for he was a man that planted seeds all over the world and changed the lives of everyone who came to know him and be influenced by him. The first bar of the bridge contains a quote from Merle Travis’ “Saturday Night Shuffle.” I did this on purpose because Merle came before Chet and there would be no Chet without Merle. Every time I perform this song, I feel like I’m standing on the shoulders of giants.
