Joaquim, Sonny Curtis (the steelplayer who played many years for George Jones and Tammy Wynette), and Sonny Curtis (the singer/songwriter/guitarist who was a member of Buddy Holley's "Crickets"), are two different people.

Donny, I misread the credits, although Sonny is on very track of the album playing acoustic and singing backing vocals, it's not him on steel. It is a certain Frank Arnett.

I knew Frank Arnett. He worked with Hank Thompson and others. He was a good player and a master electronics technician. I met him through working on antique radios. We ended up playing some music together. He also had a studio and a record company.
