[From the CD liner notes]:
"Chet Atkins and I used to play a little game with each other, where I would record something in my home studio that I was pretty sure he hadn't done on guitar, playing as much in his style as I could, and send it down to him on a cassette, asking him if he remembered doing it. I think it amused him - he'd joke about it, and of course, it was always a challenge and a learning experience for me. I saved those tracks, and I've assembled some of them on this CD. It's all in fun, but it's also my tribute to a great sound and to the greatest player (and to my long-time friend). Thanks, Chet, for unending inspiration!" -- Guy Van Duser, Poor Jack Studios 2002
