Would that be the same Jack Watkins that played for Ronnie Milsap in the 70's along with Dickie Overbey?

| Richard, Very possible Jack Watkins workred with Milsap. I say this because Milsap is a very impressive man with comprehensive knowledgable on Country Music and who was on the what sessions and he have would known of Jack Watkins.I will look through 70s era photos to see if I can find that version of the Milsap band. |
