What a nice guy. I especially loved this:

Asthmatic as a child, Mr. Atkins learned how to play the banjo on days when
he had to stay home from school. "I'd play it until the strings broke," he
recalled. "When that happened, I'd just rip a wire out of the screen porch
and tune 'er up again. It took me 20 years to learn I couldn't tune too
well. And by that time I was too rich to care."
