| That would be Austin, TX's own Lynn Frazier. He played on the soundtrack and played the show on Broadway. Great steel player! |

I did that show in London in '81 when it came to the West End. We had the two leads from the Broadway show (Carlin Glynne and Henderson Forsythe) as well as the US production team.
Trouble is, we didn't have Lynn Frazier - just me! I did my best but didn't come close, so had to figure out my own way to play it. Wonderful playing from Lynn and each time I get to do the show again I'll refer to that soundtrack CD for a reminder of how high he set the bar.

A little off topic: but I saw BLWIT on Broadway and Harvey Shapiro (now Harvey Sharp) had taken over on steel and he was fantastic.
During the overture, in his solo, he broke with what he normally played and stuck in a bunch of BE licks and looked up and smiled at my wife and I (he knew where we were sitting)-pretty funny |

No worries about going off topic.
And to go even further off topic:
The reason I even rented that movie was to study Burt Reynolds. A theater company I work with is doing the Tammy Wynette Story "Stand By Your Man" and even though I have no interest in acting I was.....um....volunteered by the director to play the part of Burt Reynolds in the play, as well as play the pedal steel and guitar.  Wish me luck. 
The wife also brought home Boogie Nights!  I studied that one real close too.......... 
Tonight is The Longest Yard. Good thing I'm home sick on the couch this weekend.

| I played my big red Sho-Bud on some of the production numbers in the movie version with Dollly Parton and Burt Reynolds. We did those at Record Plant in L.A. before the movie was shot. I seem to remember that the leader on at least some of these was a guy who came out from Nashville and I think he was Dolly Parton's band leader. In post production I played some underscoring sessions at Warners 1 with a full orchestra, and Pat Williams composing/conducting. |

| I don't remember anything about that movie except mega Dolly standing in the door way, and in not much else. That was a good movie. |

Hey Dave,
Check out 'W.W. and the Dixie Dance Kings' for some more cool Burt Reynolds stuff.
Also I think Harvey Shapiro (Sharp) played steel on the first few Steve Forbert albums.

| Lynn Frazier is a truely great player and he is in the band photo on the Album. There you go all these years I thought it was Curley Chalker that did the soundtrack.I noticed someone using a digital delay one of the live New York shows which sounded great. |
