We as Steel Players are aware of the great contribution PF has given Country music. Paul along with a great group of studio players have created many memorable moments for our listening pleasure.
In my humble opinion he is a musical Genius! To name just a couple of tunes that makes this very evident take sammy Kershaws You Are The Love Of My Life or Alan Jacklsons Blues Man. He is incredable Exclamation

And on top of all that, he's a nice guy.

I met Paul when he was still in high school and living in Detroit. He played great then and was a real nice guy. Things haven't changed much except he plays even better now but he is still the nice guy from Detroit. He has had a great career and is still keepin' on. Looking forward to more great things from Paul. My Best, Bobby

I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will be with the Time Jumpers (commitments allowing) when I go to see them on 10th March).

Buddy Emmons was telling us many years ago in the UK of a youngster from Detroit who was a 'monster'. Paul was only 14 at the time!!

While I only dimly remember the details and I can't recall where I read it, my favourite PF story is about the time when, in the early days, he was helping out at Pete Drake's studio.

He apparently was taking a short break from his general duties and doing some practicing when the steel-player booked for the next session arrived - he was stunned when he realized that the 'janitor' was a better player than he was himself!!!
