I was always under the impression that it was Mooney. But today I heard it again and started wondering. I still think it is Mooney, but now wondering if it might have been Hamlet.

| It's Ralph Mooney because the song was released before Norm Hamlet joined The Strangers-the song was released in '67 and Norm Hamlet joined the Strangers the same year, but Ralph Mooney played on the song with Merle |

Probably Fuzzy Owen?

Is the song in question I Threw Away The Rose?
There are at least three versions available on Capitol Records CDs; all are superb. Sounds like Mister Moon on all three to me. On the hit single (per Wikipedia):
Merle Haggard – vocals, guitar
Roy Nichols – guitar
Ralph Mooney – steel guitar
George French – piano
Jerry Ward – bass
Eddie Burris – drums
Unlisted but audible:
Bonnie Owens - background vocals |

| I heard way back that it was Fuzzy Owens for whatever reason. I thought the volume pedal work sounded different from Mooney or Hamlet. Ken Collins |

| Right after that song was released Haggard came to Tulsa and played Cain's Ballroom. They're being 75 people there at the dance and Fuzzy Owens played steel for him on a brand new Fender 2000 D-10 8 on the floor. During the break time he showed me the kickoff and turn around as well as many others as I was just learning what a pedal steel guitar was all about. |
