Chet Atkins Top Ten?

Browsing around on wikipedia, I found the following note under the Chet Atkins bio:

On being asked to name the ten most influential guitarists of the 20th century, he named Django Reinhardt to the first position on the list, and placed himself at fifth position.

No citation was given. Anyone else ever hear of this or know who else made the list? Maybe good friend Jerry Reed?

Yeah I read this in an article somewhere also. George Benson was definitely on his list I seem to remember and I think Segovia. Not sure where they were placed in the top ten though.
