Another live Paycheck tune, not sure who was on steel. Johnny was and still is my all time favorite singer.

Ken -

Paycheck's "Old Violin" always gives me goosebumps on top of chicken-skin!!
The vocals, the tune's overall dynamics, steel's slides & volume swells, etc are stuff that make great songs live forever.

Here's another version - with a nice intro commentary by Ralph Emory - Larry Sasser on steel.

Thanks for reminding me of this great tune.
