If the show was in the eighties, the steel player is Tom Killen.

I grew up with Tom and that definitely is not him. Good player though. Nice touch.

Yes that was Calvin and the lead guitar was Rob Watkins. I knew both of them when I played with David Houston years ago. Calvin was from PA and Rob played with David when I was with him in the 70's. Calvin played a Sho-Bud back then.
