If you mean the player right after Little Roy Wiggins, I don't know....maybe him again. I'll fix your link though so maybe someone else can I.D. him.

The player in the cowboy hat looks like Emmons. Not sure if that's what you're seeing.

At around 1:14 is a young Russ Hicks with Kitty Wells, I wouldn't have recognized him unless they announced it, hard to believe he was even more handsome as a young man

Way back in 1977, I stood alone in an elevator next to a gorgeous Steel Guitar Player (and his identifying steel guitar case) at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Nashville going up to the large Ballroom for Monument Record's big Disc Jockey Convention Show. I was brand new on the Label and this was my first professional Show. After the rehearsal, as I was walking past him, Russ nonchalantly made a particular statement to me.........it, and he got my full attention...and my life changed forever.

Yes, he was a very handsome, charming, and talented force to be reckoned with then....and he's still dangerous!

And for the record, that video is a wonderful thing, and Russ' Two Mile Pike is one of the best recorded, exceptionally excellent musical instrumentals of all time, by any standard. Just does not get any better than that!

From his number one fan, for a very long time,
