{ Atkins recorded more than 75 albums of guitar instrumentals and sold more
than 75 million albums. He played on hundreds of hit records, including
those of Elvis Presley (``Heartbreak Hotel''), Hank Williams Sr. ("Your
Cheatin' Heart,'' ``Jambalaya'') and The Everly Brothers ("Wake Up Little
Susie'')......................``I realized that what I liked, the public
would like, too,'' Atkins said in
a 1996 interview with The Associated Press. '``Cause I'm kind of square.''`}
Now there is a person who (I suspect Joni would agree) 'undisputably'
deserves to be on the VH1 list of top 20 Guitarists in 'Rock and Roll'. If he
were a character in her myth, he might be called HIKUOCAWG. As for his
closing self- assessment, I would reply "Baby, I don't care".
