Quote:

Chet Atkins wrote that he would never bath or take a shower before he had to play, stating that the water and soap softened his fingertips in an undesirable fashion.

Me, I'm no Chet Atkins. Not hardly. So I'd much rather arrive at the gig non-stinky, thank-yew, thank-yew-verr-much.

Mac, Chet also admitted on one of his YT videos that he would often wear a glove, especially on his right hand, because a broken fingernail had caused him to actually cancel appearances.
