Conway is on the Porter Wagoner Show on RFD. Who is the steel player? He does not look like a young Papa John. He has what looks like four pedals in the center and is using both feet on the pedals. Maybe one is a volume because he does not have a customary volume pedal.
I listened to it again and it sounds a lot like Moon.

Probably Lew Houston. Lew didn't use a volume pedal. He used a volume control on the guitar. Great player. Jody.

I didn't see the show, but I would also guess it was Lew. I don't know of any other players for Conway other than Lew and John.

We're so used to hearing chicken pickin' from a Tele, that it took me awhile to realize it's coming from the steel.

Danny, great cut! Very unique steel style, very cool. I didn't realize Lew played like that.

Vintaqe Lew!!

LH sat in for me one night with Mike Franklin's band at the Nashville Nevada Club, had to be around 1971. I offered him my Sho-Bud, but he hauled out a Fender 400 and totally tore it up. A really great and unique player.

I had a thread about this very song and Lew.
I'm glad you found a Youtube of Working Girl.
Here are links to Lew's wife's website
