I think it's actually Gene Davis. His name is on the front of his steel.

Dave, Gene Davis was the bandleader, not the steel player.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Who else played with Gene Davis' band?

Could that be JayDee M.? Just a guess.
Another remote possibility is that it's Frank Arnett. I know Frank played a Fender, but I think his steel was a single neck, and it really doesn't look like Frank to me. But then it has been over thirty years since I've seen him. |

It's been over thirty years since I've seen him, and I only met Frank about twelve or thirteen years after this video was recorded, so I am not sure what he looked like more than a decade earlier.
They both played for Gene Davis at various times. |

Sorry about the duplicate posting.
Could it be Blackie Taylor. His website says he played for Gene Davis, among many others. I've never met Blackie but he seems like a suspect. |

I like this clip so much that I played along. Feels like an E9 tuning without the high G#. Very cool! Who needs chromatic strings anyway?  What would be a standard E tuning for 8 string during that era?

E9, the way Buddy Emmons and Speedy used it (I use it on non-pedal) E G# B D F# G# B E, low to high.

| I'm pretty sure that's Red Rhodes. He played with Gene about that time. |

That show was recorded in Toronto and Gene used some of the local musicians up there to cut down on production cost. So I would guess it's whoever was the hot steel player around Toronto in the mid-'60s.
