I'm surprised to find that out. I always figured it was Buddy Charleton, since both he and Cal were in E.T.'s band.

Interesting...

I thought it was Charleton too, from talking to Cal about a year ago.

I think the general consensus was that it was John Hughey, playing Pete Drake licks, with Weldon Myrick's tone, and Buddy Charleton's guitar and amp.

Don'cha' luvit?

Near the end of my Fender/Fretts days, I went to a Cal Smith show to see who was on steel and perhaps an interview with him.

It was John Hughey and Cal couldn't say enough about him. I don't know who was on the record other than what has been posted here but I do know The Two Of Them Were Dynamite. Then I got tossed out by a security guard. That was hard to take but not the end of the story.

A month or so later, our band was mainlining a local Charity, Proably The Home For Unwed Mothers as I recall those days. The same guard was there and I stood tall and told my Boss, I wasn't playing unless that JERK was ejected.

And that is exactly what happened !!

Regards, Paul

No 'fence taken Roger. As a matter of fact,my "skivies" are probably more "famous" than me.
(which ain't sayin' much in the first place!)
