Good Morning,

Here's a classic country clip from the 1970s, with lots of great steel work:

Listened to it again...the tone is too bright to be Curly...is it Hal Rugg?

I think it's Dallas Frazier w/ Hal

Here I go out on the limb again...it is Hal !! That Loretta Lynn styling is so evident in his signature !

I still recall when I could spot Buddy or Jimmy or Pete and Hal in an instant but that skill has been fading as the years accumulate upon me...

And it is Johnny Russell as a singer and not making folks laugh and smile. He sure could tell a good story !

Regards, Paul

Johnny Russell w/Hal Rugg? plus Charlie McCoy on harmonica.

Johnny Russell always said he was on two diets because he couldn't get enough to eat on one.

(Paul Graupp - I know what you mean - I've been trying to remember Russell's joke about the "Squawberry Shortcake")

Wow, another good discussion about singers and players!

Yes, the final answer is Johnny Russell singing and Hal Rugg on steel. Good stuff!

Kind Regards, Walter

...jokin' of course

, I thought that Dallas had written and performed this along with many other hits. Shoulda caught the familiar voice of Johnny Russell. Such a loss. Great entertainer.
