I am looking for "who played on that record" info for two versions of "Half a Mind" the Roger Miller tune made famous by ET & Maestro Emmons.

I have a Jean Shepard version - can someone who has the Bear family set check the discographic info and tell me who played steel on it?

I also have a version by Skeeter Davis- same question- anyone know who played on her version?

thanks in advance

For Skeeter on that album there were four steel players. Drake, Myrick, Chalker, and Day. Hal Rugg on the Jean Shepard cut.

Very Happy thank you
My guess, of the four players listed for Skeeter is it's Weldon on this track.

On the Skeeter YouTube link it's Weldon Myrick on steel cut in 1972.
