Opry 9/29 steel player?

OK guys, who was the non pedal steel player last night on the Opry. He played on the song Rumba Boogie, didn't get much camera time or featured but what I could see of him he was having a great time. He did some nice stuff with the strings muted and his picks, gave it a nice Latin beat. I couldn't even get a good enough look to see what kind of guitar he was playing. Since it was a Hank Snow song was it one of Hanks players?

Kayton Roberts. He was one of the Rainbow Ranch Boys and he plays a Fender and probably replaces the tone pot about once a week as he really knows how and when to use it.[This message was edited by Mike Weirauch on 23 September 2001 at 09:46 PM.]

We'll all have to chip in & get Kayton a Hilton pedal ! OOPS! there I go again with
those senior moments....I was thinking of the
volume pot. Is Kayton doing those wah-wahs
the non-pedal players did 50 years ago?[This message was edited by Doug Seymour on 24 September 2001 at 12:30 PM.]
