I was listening to a Mel Tillis "Live from Gilley's" transcription today. It's from the mid 80's and Tillis didn't have a steel in his band - at least not at this show. He don't introduce the band, apart from one picker, who sings a couple of songs with him. And he only introduces him as "Julio" - kinda like a joke maybe, as he sings a line of "Too All the Girls I've Loved Before...." Anyone knows who this could be....?

| It was awesome guitar player, Jerry Lane Reid, who played with numerous artists like Barbra Mandrell, Mel Tillis, George Jones. |

Check with Terry Bethel - I think he went to work for Tillis in the early or mid 70's he knows the history
