Really great sounding and playing on the Bill Anderson portion of his anniversary honor on the Opry last weekend. Player had a Fessenden D10, I believe. I think I have an idea who he is, but I'll inquire of the resident expert here if you please, Brett.

I watched it also Jerry on a TV channel called 'Circle' and it was Great, I think too that it was a Fesenden D10.

Not a resident expert but I thought his playing was quite tasty as well. The Fessy had "ELL" on the front under the keyhead. Initials???

ELL? Maybe Eddie Lange then? I admit I don't know what he looks like.

Yes, I went and found it on YouTube. That is Eddie Lange.

Thanks for sorting it out gentlemen. Sorry Eddie, I'll know next time for sure.

The tone was delicious. I wasn't really watching, my attention was elsewhere. Then I heard that low end growl and said that must be PP Emmons....'til I looked....no...just a terrific player on a good Fessenden axe.

Yessir, I have heard his playing before. He's terrific. I just didn't know or had forgotten what he looked like.

Eddie is a fine player on both necks and great guy to boot.

Heâ€™s also a really good bass player. He plays bass with the Music City Playboys in Nâ€™ville and Rusty Danmyer plays steel in that group. They are at the Music City Bar and Grill a few nights during the week.

Eddie has a fine CD with a good mix of country, swing, and jazz. Hit him up on FB and get yourself a copy. If we donâ€™t buy steel CDâ€™s who will?
