who played 20\20

[Bob Mc Donald]

Anyone know who played the steel on
Ronnie Milsap 20\20 vision ? Thanks.

[Jerry Overstreet]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzOy3pY17SY 1st. cut up to about 3:05. That has to be John Hughey I have been wrong before though

Allmusic credits 5 steel players on the album. Besides Papa John, there was Pete Drake, Hal Rugg, Dickey Overbey and Lloyd Green. I suppose it could be Dickey, but sure sounds like Mr. Hughey to me.

Thanks for the reminder Bob, great tune. I do love me some Ronnie Milsap. Has a million of 'em.

[Richard Sinkler]

I am pretty sure it is John. That album has a few great songs with John on them. The others just don't sound like that.

That is my favorite Milsap song.

[Bob Mc Donald]

My Quess would be Dickey overbey..only because he
like's alot of high scale stuff and is great at
playing it smooth,same as john hughey awesome,,
still say overbey tho.

[Richard Sinkler]

Dickie is great at playing those Hughey type licks, but the tone is more Hughey than Overbey. I could be wrong, but I think John told me one time it was him. Of course, now that I said that, it will turn out to be Dicky. That's how my luck runs these days.

While we're at it: who played steel on Ronnie's "Stranger Things Have Have Happened?" It's not quite like anybody else I've heard.

[David Wright]

Money say's it's John.......you can all stop guessing now....

[Jerry Overstreet]

I agree David. That vibrato and phrasing has to be Papa John.
Dickey has his own unique style, but I don't believe that's him on that cut.

On Stranger Things Have Happened, Frank......I'll go out on a limb and guess Weldon.

[Frank Freniere]

Weldon's one of the guys I suspected, Jerry. Not Sonny Garrish?

[Jerry Overstreet]

I dunno Frank. Could be. I'm already in over my head, just sounds like something Weldon might do to me. Maybe somebody that really knows can straighten it all out for us.

I Hope this helps.
