How do you guys know who it is?
It doesn't sound too much like my dad's tone but for some reason (can't remember) I thought Leo LeBlanc played on this first Marie Osmond album.
I really don't know but if you guys have a link that shows who played on it, I'd appreciate it |

It is indeed Curly on Marie Osmond's 1973 cut of "Paper Roses". Although I knew it was Curly, there are several places and much information on the web to confirm this. Sorry, the I-Pad won't let me post links.  |

| Too bad Marie had to bore all of us - it would've been better as an instrumental ... |

| If it hadn't been for Marie we wouldn't have heard Mr. Curly Chalker on that hit record! |

Dear. I'm going to have to listen to all of "Exile on Main Street" and "Birds of Fire" to clear my valves after that.  |

| That it was Curly who played on "Paper Roses" sure was news to me! I always asumed it was Weldon Myrick! |

| A little off-topic but if my memory serves me right, Sonny James produced the tune. |

Uhhh... someone mention Weldon? I met him once at the GOP (thanks Jeff) and many years later in Tokyo. One of my all-time favorites...

Things I've learned this week.
If you're good you're Emmons.
If you're rich you're guilty. |

Actually if you are great you're Emmons.
If you're rich we should send you to re-education camp.

I am sure that Curly was playing a black MSA at that time. Interesting that someone thought it was an Emmons!!

Does all this mean that the player has a little something to do with the overall sound of a steel? I always believed it was the steel itself. My Emmons sounds better when I'm not playing it.
My post here is a joke, please don't dignify it with a response. |

That explains it then. Black guitars sound better; not brands or players

Bob, I like Marie too. But, let's not tell anyone and just keep it our little secret.
