For me it would have been anything by Gary Stewart,Johnny Bush or Mel Tillis.

My dream was to play with Red Foley and his Cumberland Valley Boys including Grady Martin.

George Morgan and Carl Smith were two others.

In 1964 or thereabouts, I finally got to play with Carl Smith for one set one evening. What a thrill.

Yeah, Gary would have been one of my picks, too! Others would have been Bill Phillips, Narvel Felts, Rex Allen Jr., and Stan Hitchcock.

1. Linda Ronstadt
2. Emmylou Harris

Either one and I could die happy.

Dick Wood · Post by **Dick Wood** » 1 Jul 2015 5:10 pm

Jim, I never listened much to Linda except what made it to the Top 40. Did she have steel on most of her songs?

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 1 Jul 2015 5:13 pm

Oh yes! Herb Steiner, Ed Black, Dan Dugmore, and some guy named Emmons, for starters. ..

Wynn Stewart, Justin Tubb, Miss Kitty, and Marty

Jim,
As Thumbs Carllile would say: "Emmons who. . . what's his last name?"

There are many more. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with quite a few others over the years but I never felt good enough to follow the full time road life.

The fifth Beatle! Of course, Mike!

(Come to think of it, did they ever use pedal steel on any single track? I know there was a little lap steel here and there, but not PSG?)

Mike Perlowin RIP · Post by **Mike Perlowin RIP** » 2 Jul 2015 4:33 am

Jim, as far as I know, they never used a pedal steel guitar on any of their recordings, although Lloyd Green played on one of Paul's post-Beatle records.

They should have used one on Yesterday instead of the strings. Can you imagine how popular the steel would have become if they had?

Dick Wood · Post by **Dick Wood** » 2 Jul 2015 4:59 am

The fifth Beatle always makes me laugh...Uh Huh uh huh Yeah.

Herb played on Linda's songs? I am sheltered.

I can say that I got to play with Wynn Stewart for an evening. He hired our band to back him up in Glenn Rose Texas back around 1982.

Not to mention you. A sterling idea. George Martin would have liked it, but didn't know.

John Booth · Post by **John Booth** » 2 Jul 2015 5:03 am

Of Course the truest country singer of them all

Richard Sinkler · Post by **Richard Sinkler** » 2 Jul 2015 9:42 am

What songs of Ronstadt's songs did Herb play on? I'd like to listen to them. I know he played in her band, but didn't know he recorded with her. That is so cool.

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 2 Jul 2015 9:44 am

Herbster can pop in with the definitive history on this. As far as I know, he played in an early incarnation of the Stone Ponies but did not record with her. I didn't intend to imply otherwise.

Brett Day · Post by **Brett Day** » 2 Jul 2015 3:48 pm

Danni Leigh, Suzy Bogguss, Lorrie Morgan, and Laney Hicks to name a few.

In reality, I'd like to play steel with Frank Zappa.

Mike P, you did such a masterful job on the face (that is almost looks like me!) I couldn't resist making it your new avatar.

But talk about a face! Nothing like the Possum, who doesn't look like a possum at all.

High on the bucket list would be to play some "good" country while fronting a large symphony orchestra with a zillion strings singing in the background.
