	Chet Atkins, Country Guitarist and Producer, Is Dead at 77
		het Atkins, the versatile guitarist and record producer who was a leader in the growth of Nashville as a music center in the 1950's and part of the elite force that transformed country music and affected popular musical taste in America, died on Saturday at his home in Nashville.
		Nicknamed "The Country Gentleman," Chet Atkins accepted his position in the music industry with a remarkable lack of arrogance, spending his last years in his office on Nashville's "Music Row" singing and playing the old songs with visiting performers whose recording careers he had a hand in shaping and whose music he influenced.
		Its admirers believe it saved country music from the rock 'n' roll juggernaut, brought the music to mid-America in a way that had not been experienced since Gene Autry, and turned Nashville into Music City U.S.A. Once success was achieved, however, the the style was derided for its homogeneity and lack of backbone.

	Jethro Burns - Biography - AOL Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As the mandolinist in the classic country comedy duo Homer & Jethro, Kenneth Burns was one of the finest instrumentalists of his generation, yet many people never realized that fact.
		Behind the country hayseed garb, the hick patter, and the outrageous parodies of popular songs, "Jethro" Burns and guitarist Henry "Homer" Haynes were expert jazz musicians whose exaggerated hillbilly appearance and zany sendups of songs belied the cleverness of their comedy and the extraordinarily high quality of their music.
		Jethro's music was extremely melodic and graceful, combining elements of jazz, swing, country, folk, and bluegrass, resulting in one of the most distinctive and influential mandolin styles in country music history.

	STEVE WARINER"S page!
		Since his 1978 recording debut, country guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Steve Wariner has shown himself to be a resilient talent.
		Within country music's inner circle, Wariner is respected, not only as a protege of guitar virtuoso Chet Atkins, but as a consummate guitarist in his own right.
		Heading into the 1990s, Wariner's name was rarely absent from the country music countdown; his fifteenth album in over a decade, 1993's Drive was carried forward by the momentum of I Am Ready, even though the artist had begun to shift his focus from mellow ballads to more rock-inspired rhythms.

	The guitar in Country Music history - Thanks for the Music - Country Music for the Country Music Enthusiast
		Most southeastern country musicians rejected them, but the Western swing bands of the Southwest were quick to adopt them, most notably the Light Crust Doughboys' Muryel "Zeke" Campbell and Eldon Shamblin.
		After complaints that Ernest Tubb's early acoustic Decca recordings were inaudible, Tubb had guitarist "Smitty" Smith use an electrified guitar on his 1941 "Walking The Floor Over You." It established Tubb's style and helped end the Opry's ban on electric guitars when Tubb came to the show.
		In the 1990's, though, the technology has changed, no country guitar style, acoustic or electric, is truly out of date, and new ideas continue to flow.
