Just listened to "Dim Lights" on YouTube. Steeler was singing harmony with Porter Wagoner. I don't recognize him. Anybody?

Very Happy Yep, better known in the old days as "Little" Don Warden. Best of my memory, he went to Nashville with Porter in the beginning and played for him for many years. Probably it all started with Satisfied Mind hit. ...
Somebody correct if I'm wrong, but it seems Little Don was the first to play the stand-up pedal steel, and was a first for Sho-bud. ...

Not sure if he was the first to play stand up pedal steel. There may have been someone playing a Bigsby standing, but he did have the first Sho~Bud made. Stand up height, 2 pedals no levers.

Here's a photo I took at the then Roy Acuff Exhibits in Nashville, April, 1968.

He has been with Dolly for many years as a manager if I'm not mistaken.

Dolly came to Scotty's to honor Don when he was inducted into the Steel Guitar HoF.
