Could someone tell me who the steel guitar player is in that band . He sure has a great sound and is a excellent steel player.It sure made that type of music sound better.I can't put my finger on the type of music they play.From what I could see it looked like our good freind shhh Bobbe Seymour or is he not that good looking.Just kidding Bobbe.

Earl,
I could be wrong on this one, but I wore
out the 1st 2 Buffet LP's cause I loved it and the steel so much and kept reading the album notes over and over, and I swear Doyle's last name is spelt with an 'e'.
If this thread continues, I'll go and dig
the album[s] out. No easy task. They are buried somewhere.

Well, I just dug out Buffet's "A White Sport
Coat and A Pink Carnation", the original LP.
Listed on the back in the lower left hand corner are:
The Coral Reefers:
Jimmy - Acoustic Rhythm Guitar
Steve Goodman - Acoustic Lead guitar
Reggie Young - Electric Lead Guitar
Doyle Gresham - Pedal Steel Guitar
Ed "Lump" Williams - Bass Guitar
Mike Utley - Piano
Greg "Fingers" Taylor - Harmonica
Sammy Creason - Drums
Phil Royster - Congas
Shane Keester - Moog Synthesizer
Vassar Clements - Fiddle
Ferrell Morris - Percussion
Marvin Gardens - Maracas and Beer Cans
The spelling of these names is exactly as it appears on the LP. Unless the LP has a misprint of Doyle's last name, this [and Buffet's 2nd LP] are the only sources I have as to who he is and the spelling of his name.
Check out the LP. The date on it is 1973.

Chip,
The last time I played on a session for Doyle (about a month ago), he spelled his name "Grisham" on the check.
Record labels often misspell players' names on the credits---I speak from personal experience.

Gentleman, Gentleman please don't get in a argument over how to spell a name it's not worth it.I did'nt put this on the forum to get a fight going.All I wanted to know is who the great steel player was. I don't care how you spell his name it really doe'st matter.Smiley you done a fantastic job playing at the Mass. Bash Incredable now I may have spelled that wrong and if I did I don't even care because everyone knows what I meant.Thanks to all that responded.

Sam,
I don't think anyone's fighting. It is a moot point, I suppose. Actually, I just wanted to see if I was starting to get one of those senior moments I've been hearing about.

| Chip, I think the person that wrote the liner notes on the album was the cause of your false senior moments. |

Yes I can clear this up, he's a friend of ours It's GRESHAM. And just in case you need to know, he has a brother named Shorty GRESHAM who is also very very talented in every way on a number of instruments and sings the best Ray Price you'll ever hear.

Jeff,
This is getting hilarious! I have a call into Doyle and Debbie right now. I hope to hear from one of them this evening with the "final answer", although I fear there will still be some unbelievers. By the way, tell Shorty I said "hello." I, and to a greater extent, Earl Erb played in bands around the Harker Heights, Temple,Lake Belton area with Shorty in the late '60s. At that time, he spelled his name with an "eye." |

| Thanks Gregg,this is not hilarious this is nuts.Gregg and I were both at Ft.Hood in 1966-68 and I played in the same band,for almost 2 yrs. that Shorty did in Harker Heights at a club called the Western Room right on the main highway to the Hood.I used to go home with Shorty on the weekends when I wasn't pulling special duty.I met Doyle with an "i" Grisham when he was still in the Navy.Doyle has a email address but I don't think he is a member of the forum.He did tell me once that he did read the posts on the forum.DOYLE PLEASE HELP US! |

It's "Grisham"......straight from the steel player's mouth.
That having been said, he sure plays his A$$ off, doesn't he!? |
