Jimmy Day played on the original "Heartaches by the Numbers" recording and many other of Ray Price hits of the mid, late 1950's and early 1960's.

Was that Jimmy Day or Buddy Emmons playing on the Ray Price. album?

Don Euton

Try the Ray Price Sings Bob Wills made in about 1962. Jimmy plays the hold album, but I don`t how much of it would be C-6.

Don Euton

There are many. Johnny once said his music was the steel guitar. THE SOUND of A HEARTACHE is a great one. It was Jimmy Day on 10 of them and Buddy Emmons on 2. TEXAS LEGEND vol 1 and JOHNNY BUSH GREATEST HITS 1968-1972 are 2 more great ones. Yes, it was Dickey on I`LL BE THERE as well as many other ...

I Fall to Pieces-- In the early 1960`s, Jimmy DAY plays for 2 minutes and 47 seconds, from intro to the finish, on that Ray Price song. He is featured all the way through and I can`t hear a fiddle on the song. Superb job!

I saw him in Houston, TX in about 1968. He put on a good show. Does anyone know who played the steel on "This Is The Shortest Song in The World?"

Don Euton

Rick & John, I lost the link when I switched computers several months ago. If you do a search " Another Bridge to BURN Jimmy Dickins it will be there. It was about 2009 at the grand old Opera. The one I had was not real clear. Jeff was the Opera`s steel player that night. The band members h...

According to the FAA Airman Details Report, Jeffery Paul Newman was issued a Commercial Pilot Certificate on 6-12-1984. He had Commercial Pilot ratings for Airplane Single Engine land and Airplane Multiengine Land. He probably had a Private Pilot Certificate before he received his Commercial. One of...

Darrell, pilot certification information is public and can be obtained from the FAA web site. Does anyone know if Jeff`s full name is Jeffery Paul Newman?

I would bet on Craig Schmidt. There is another recording on line showing more of the Edna TX. Opra. One has Randy Boyd, Craig Schmidt, and Bobby Flores playing their steels together and separate. A good one to watch.

I always wanted to see Ronnie. Got tickets weeks ago and we are going.

Don Euton

Dickey played on the original Johnny Bush`s " I`ll Be There" record. He is one of the Greatest!

Don Euton

It is Hal Rug.

Don Euton

I always thought Buddy Emmons did that recording.
Don Euton

I do not know for sure , but I would bet Paul has played on more session recordings than anyone else. Or could it be Lloyd Green?

Don Euton

The man in the picture does not look Jack to me. He looks taller and leaner than Jack.
Don Euton

Not a 100% sure, but think Jack`s name is spelled Evins. He was one the great ones at that time.
Don Euton

Does anyone know the date this was recorded or have an estimation of how many years ago?

Don Euton

Was that Jimmy playing on the Jimmy Dickens and Gene Watson versions?

Don Euton

That picture even confirms my guess that is Jim Loessberg. To me the picture looks more like him than the live seen on You Tube. Maybe someone will come up with the real steel player`s name.
Don Euton

Looks like it could be a young Jim Loessberg to me.
Don Euton

It is my understanding that Jack Evins was the steel player on the "Invitation to The Blues" Ray Price recording. I always thought it was Jimmy Day.
Don Euton

This confirms what I had heard about Roy Clark being able to play the steel. He could play any musical instrument that had strings.
Don Euton

According to Johnny Bush, Weldon did the original cut of Whiskey River, but I do not believe that is the original cut.

Don Euton

Herb, you could be right. That date was the date I bought the tape. I bought Jimmy Day and The Texas Outlaw Jam Band at the same time. Scotty could have had them a long time. It had J&M Productions with a Buda, TX. address written on the tape cover.
