Is This Little Roy Wiggins?

At first I thought it was Jerry Bryd, but then I hear a bunch of things I never hear on JB's records. It doesn't quite sound like Little Roy either.

It's the original hit of Anytime by Eddy Arnold, from 1948:

It's definitely Little Roy. Little Roy was my first steel guitar hero when I started learning to play steel. Don Helms was my second hero. Both were great steel players.

That's Little Roy. Classic Little Roy licks on that song.

I too started out on steel because of Roy. Bought every Eddy Arnold record (started with 78's then moved to 45's) when I was a kid just to listen to Roy.

b0b, thanks for making this post. I enjoyed the song and the comments. After reading the comments, I remembered a video where Little Roy said the his favorite song in the world was THE LAST LETTER. I have made a post with a link to this video. I hope you enjoy the video.
