Wow -- the steel player's left hand technique (starting around 1:15) is sure different from anything I've seen before.

I would think maybe BoBBy S. also. Maybe he will chime in and let us know. If it's not him, he'll know who.

There is also a video of "Gone,Gone,Gone" on youtube. At the very end they show the whole band, sure looks like Bobbe!!!!!

Sonny Burnette - I was at Sonny's house in Hendersonville about 30+ years ago and he told me about how he broke the pinky finger on his right hand while he was working on his boat trailer. The finger was stiff and curled up on the tip from that accident.

Alan, I agree with you...definitely NOT Pete Drake. Most likely Sonny Burnette. Didn't know Pearl guarded Buckingham Palace
