The first (and only!) time I met Paul he was with Mel, looked the same as in the photo with Mel.
I told this before but I'll tell it again anyway. 
The band I was playing with in '80 opened a Mel Tillis show. We hired another band to fill-in for us on our regular honkytonk gig that night.
Paul, Pam Tillis and a few other band members came out to the honkytonk with us after the show and we all sat-in with our hired fill-in band. I never even considered trying to play someone else's pedal steel. Paul sat down on this guy's D-10, never saw it before in his life, took a couple seconds to check-out the kneelever setup, then just played the #$%! out of it as if it was his own.
Never seen anyone do that in my life before or since. I knew he was somebody who was going places for sure, I can't say I had any idea I was looking at the future no. 1 session man for pedal steel but if someone had told me that, I wouldn't have doubted it.[This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 14 May 2005 at 08:42 PM.] |

Reggie,
that steel was for sale 2 times on e-bay a couple of months ago.
It will be up in a while I guess 'cause it wasn't sold.Atleast I think it wasn't.
