[From the CD liner notes]:
"I'd like to dedicate this album to the greatest picker of them all, Chet Atkins, who has been and continues to be my biggest inspiration. Chet, you set an unattainable standard - something we mortal pickers will always be trying to reach. We are forever indebted to you... We miss you, Chief." -- Richard Smith, 2002
