Carl Smith 'I LOVE YOU BECAUSE.'

Anybody know who the steel player was on that song?

I have been told it was Chalker and I have also heard it was Jim Murphey. Anybody?

Bill Lister

I had the good fortune to meet Big Bill in Llano, Texas backstage at the Llano Opry. He and I hit it off from our first words spoken. What a gentleman he was. I wish I could have spent more time with him.

I got to know Lynn at various Swing Festivals and some Hall of Fame events. Very likeable guy and I sure did enjoy his singing. The CD he autographed for me will be put in a safe place.

Tommy was a very nice man and very talented. Jody told me he worked several positions in Hoyle's band. He will be missed.

Jimmy Murphey

On the recording of I LOVE YOU BECAUSE by Carl Smith.

I have heard it was Jimmy Murphey and I have heard it was Chalker. Can someone set the record straight? I know Murphey worked for Carl around the time that session was done.

Help.
