Tonight I watched a show called Oprylive on a TV channel called Circle. It featured Trisha Yearwood, Jeannie Seely and Carly Pearce, but there was some really nice pedal steel when all 3 artist combined to do 'Making Believe'. I did not recognize the steel player but it was not Tommy White but he was really good.

I was wondering if anyone may know who he is?

I just really love listening to the Pedal Steel at the Opry. Also I see they are still use that Webb amp.

It's Eddy Dunlap, playing his ShowPro. Eddy has played steel with several different artists, including Clay Walker. Tommy White's Mullen is usually seen onstage. Reba was on the Opry a few weeks ago, and Mike Johnson was playing his Franklin D-10 and a lap steel.

He has a few ShowPros I believe and they're all gorgeous.

I happened to listen to this show on Circle TV last night as I just realized I have it on my streaming tv package. Really nice to see AND hear Eddy way up in the mix. Tasty dobro playing with Trisha also. I guess he was subbing for Tommy White who was on the Paul Franklin Workshop weekend, and very capably I might add.
