Can someone let me know who the pro steel players are in the Austin and San Antonio areas?
I have something I'm trying to do and need a smokin player in these areas.
Is Johnny Cox still there?

There are a lot of smokin" players herein Austin, not just the guys mentioned.
James Shelton, Roy Carroll (who?), Jim Loesberg, Lloyd Mangum, and many more. There is a bunch in San Antonio that I am not familiar with. Depends on what you are doing, you can pick from commercial to swing to jazz to whatever you need.
P.S. Johnny Cox is in Branson.

How bout Jody Cameron?
Is he in the area?
Maybe someone that plays more like Jernigan or Emmons or Mike Johnson. Someone that plays for a living and not a weekend player.

Kenny Grohman is around San Antonio, I believe. He's excellent.

| Jody Cameron plays for Bobby Flores. I bet that's pretty close to a full time playing job. |

I don't know if he's still active around SA, but Denny Mathis is outstanding.
A nice man who was very helpful to me when I played a 'Patsy' show there many years back.

You can't count Junior Brown as a real steel guitarist because, he, like, sings, and writes songs and doesn't stare at his fingers all night and, entertains n' stuff. And gets paid too! In money! Sellout....  |

A couple full time guys off the forum radar that can certainly play are
Simon Page
Zachary Moulton

What is the gig and money ? Everything depends on the answers to those questions.
