I caught the end of Austin City Limits on CMT
tonight and was wondering who was playing steel with Ricky Scaggs. I think it may have been around the early 1980's. Great playing
steeler with a black Emmons. Anyone see this show?

My guess would be Bruce Bouton.

Jerry, You guessed right! That show was from 1985.

My wife taped it so my son could see it.And I hate to say it but I did not recognize the steel player on Marty Stuart's segment before Ricky's part.Often you hear a name but never see the face.
Upon watching the credits I found out it was Gary Hogue.
All I can say is great playing and a major loss to us who love good steel playing.

Unfortunately, Bruce was WAY back in the mix. But that mandolin was sure pokin' holes in my eardrums!

For those who've never done Austin City Limits, the performance is edited and mixed directly following the show, with input from the artist and their associates.

The man on steel with Ricky Skaggs was Bruce Bouton and the guy on steel with Marty Stuart was Gary Hogue. Brett Day, Emmons S-10
