Heard a great anecdote about Chet Atkins from a guitarist who knew him. Atkins was playing a small solo club gig in Nashville, and after a song an audience member said, "man that old guitar sounds great."

Atkins put the guitar on its stand and replied, "How does it sound now?"
I don't mind people who are arrogant, as long as they have a reason to be arrogant
yes I'm sure you'd have your fellow audience members enthralled with your clever ripostes to Mr. Atkin's musical hubris
