Wayma K "Pee Wee" Whitewing
I'm pretty sure the discography on that is right, I know my Pa played on that, but there were two steel players. I can tell just because I know his style so well which licks are his. You can hear him on this cover he did with one of his western swing bands - The Heart of Texas Band - at www.reverbnation.com/peeweewhitewing playing it in the early 90s.
Cheers!

I actually got to sing this with him once when I was in my early 20s at the Texas Steel Guitar Association home base in Mesquite, Texas.
