I'm quite certain that Van Duser did that arrangment.  My source: Chet
Atkins.   Chet Atkins onced played it on a PBS show and verbally credited
Van Duser for the arrangement.

Atkins is credited as an inspiration though on one of the Van Duser albums
I own.

P.S.  Has anyone seen a copy of the rumored Dixie Dregs sheet music?  A
      Dregs music book was mentioned as forthcoming from Cherry Lane music
      in "Guitar for the practicing musician" magazine, which is owned by
      Cherry Lane.
