Hitting the bottle again, ever than I've drunker been. Or is it drunker than I've ever been?

You know, in the days when I started, if you had Chet Atkins' name on your record as a producer and it was on RCA, you could work the road. It didn't have to be a big hit record, it just had to have that on it.
