Who is playing what looks to be a vintage wraparound with Mary Robbins. Beautiful playing. Is this Jimmy Farmer?

John, In the comments part of the video, it says the steel player is Bill Johnson, who had just passed away (posted 7 years ago), not sure if that is accurate

Bill Johnson.

Farmer typically wore glasses and I don't think was with Marty during the era of his TV shows.

Johnson second from left, circa 1965:



Farmer with glasses, 1957:

Thanks Craig. Found this on the Forum and if you scroll down, you can him with this Emmons wrap. Nice opening tribute from Bobbe as well...

Thanks for the link John, amazing the amount of players that fly under our radar, he sounds like he was a 'peach' of a human too!
