Thanks Alex for the post, He played great back up threw out the song to Jerry`s singing and it was just Great to hear how soulful he was playing. Ya know am not the only one that caught his playing, he played on a Tribute put on by Emmylou Harris in 1999?? For MY all time great favorite Gram Parsons he played great steel on it. there also a post on the forum by Derek Duplessie dated 2 Dec.2012 asking the same question How does he do it, even bOb chime in with a lot of other forum members glad to know others caught the same thing I did in his playing now I have to go back to the Volume pedal, theres a lot of info on the forum about him, knew I hear that sound before thanks again Alex, frank

He can't be seen, but clearly heard and he plays great. Who can this be?
