Oh man, both good uns. I heard an interesting story about Chet Atkins. He was on a transatlantic cruise and at one point was performing informally for a group of passengers. One guy came up and listened for a while. After one tune he said, "Well, you're good, but you're no Chet Atkins."

I saw Kotke in concert in Seattle back in the late 80s, IIRC, being warmed up by the late Michael Hedges, also no slouch. Quite a show.
