Jack Green's Steel Player

I was dusting off some of the old Jack Green albums yesterday and I came across an early recording of 'I Love You Because' with a Jimmy Day style kickoff and turnaround.Does any one remember who would have been playing steel on this one?Thanks George

I'm not familiar with his recording of that song, but Pete Drake played on most of his hit records, as I recall.

Ron Elliot played for him also -

It could be Buddy Charleton. (Jack was ET's drummer.)

Hi.
Yes, that is Ron Elliott playing steel on Jack's wonderful rendition of "I Love You Because" and he also played on several other songs on that album.
Musically yours,
Leslie Elliott

That was recorded in 1969. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Reggie Duncan on 22 December 2002 at 03:18 PM.]</p></FONT>

Leslie is the real reason Uncle Ron plays with such great tone! With a sweet wife like her, who wouldn't! MERRY CHRISTMAS to Ron & Leslie! ~~W.C.~~

Ron and Leslie, very dear friends that don't ever get the recognition they deserve. I love them both. Ron is the epitome of smooth and tone.
Merry Christmas, to all

What Bobbe said plus; I found they were some of the most caring folks when a friend of mine had heart surgery. I know the Forum has a lot of these nice people but it couldn't hurt to recognize their contributions. It is good to see and read !!

Regards, Paul
