First of all, who's Pat Quigley? Second, there was something in that big
bad Carlin book of country music, in which he stated that Atkins has been
apologetic about his 60s pop production, averring that it was a
desperate and deliberate
strategy to save the industry from ruin, as opposed to a valid artistic
statement. Is that a case of Carlin putting motives into Chet's mouth that
aren't backed up by fact? I guessed as much reading the thing, even
though I chair the Run Chet Out of Town Club <g>. -- Terry Smith
