He can be heard on two songs on the docu from the 8th to the 18th minute.

It's Ron Dann , a great Canadian player. I think he was based out of Toronto . I played in a duo that was the " warm up" band for a gig Jesse Winchester played at the Calgary University 'round about that time . In the video it is the same band he had with him on that engagement. Sadly Ron passed away a few years ago.

Ron Dann is playing steel for Jesse in this documentary. Ron was from Montreal then moved to Toronto to pursue session work which he got as a musician. & arranger . Ron passed away from lung cancer a few years after this taping. This entire band is Canadian. Ron was an amazing person and a mentor to me personally. He is missed dearly .

Thanks to you two. He's on a Jesse Winchester album called "Nothing But A Breese".
