That was my late friend Barry"Byrd"Burton...
Many,many sessions together...I followed him in the Dolly band...
He loaned me an SD-10 Legrande for YEARS...
An avid pilot and a great recording engineer as well as a very gifted guitar player...
Byrd played electric gtr on"Third Rate Romance"and"The End is Not in Sight"...
Miss him all the time.

That is one of the best country songs ever written, played, and sung.. So pure.. the steel work sent shivers down my spine as a 22 year old steel player, and still as a 63 year old player.
I posted about it once here years ago, and the steel work was derided by several as being out of tune, or amateurish, or some other nonsensical bullshit.
It was perfect to my ear, back then and still today.. The tune still sounds fresh..
I play the solo all the time, just by myself, loud and proud.. It was a great bit of steel work, and it caught my ear over 4 decades ago, and still inspires me... bob

All their songs seem to be here.
From Bob Carlucchi's link I navigated to this. It looks like their entire catalog. I had forgotten how much I like them.

It's a nice "through the years" montage.
