While Box Car Willie is still in our limelight, I want to offer a half dozen Ernie Ball 11R strings, postage paid to the person with the first posted correct answer to that age old question here on the Forum:

WHO PLAYED STEEL ON:

BOX CAR WILLIE'S first recording session ?

I'm not rich; just overstocked at the moment.
And I have the correct answer already.....

Regards, Paul

Hmmmm...let's see...he started in the mid '70s, and didn't want to sound too "uptown country".

Maybe...Curley Chalker?

I'd guess SLIM IDAHO or George Schwartzz.

Was it You? I remember Box as Marty Martin, a DJ in Idaho. Maybe some picker from out this way; just a guess.

Jim; You got it !! Boys, I hate to leave good company but I left something burning at home.

Reece sent me a very nice e-mail today and told me how his wife Teresa's dad got Martin (Box Car ) to come to Dallas and do a recording session. That in fact is where he first met Teresa when he was called to play steel for the session. Actually, knowing Box Car's music, I didn't think anyone would get it for a long time. We all tend to place steel players in certain categories and I'm no exception. Still I thought it was a neat story and I liked the way it turned out....for everybody !!

Jim: Send your snail mail address to my e-mail and those strings are yours !! It's been a business doing pleasure with all of you !!

Regards, Paul

Well, it was just a guess. I got thinking that Box lived in Dallas, Reece is in Dallas, etc. Thanks Paul!
