Does anyone out there know who plays steel for the great Gene Watson? I plan on seeing his show on July 9th in MN.

My buddy -- CORKY OWENS. Gene Watson puts on a great classy show and Corky is such a super person and super steel player. Corky enjoys meeting people so be certain to visit with him at the show.

Bill,
Do you know how I could get in touch with Corky Owens? Do you think I would be able to meet him and talk with before or after the show? I am a big Gene Watson fan and even more of a fan of the steel work that is done on Gene's songs. It would be a great honor to meet Mr. Owens. Thank you Bill and Billy.

Well...I know Corky always enjoys talking with "his" fans who love steel. He's not hard to talk to or to meet for that matter and he'll give you some of his time. Corky is a great guy and appreciates people.

Just to add my two cents, Corky is every bit that has been stated here and more! Great picker and a very humble person. They put on a fantastic show and Gene's voice is as great as it has ever been.
