Cool!  I voted for Tharpe even though I don't have a clue as to who it could be. Sounds like it's an original tune also. |

| bump for Jimbeaux. I'm starting to think that my vote for Tharpe was probably wrong since the recording sounds very modern compared to the recordings of Tharpe's day. Anyway whoever this mystery steeler is, he sounds real good. |

Jim-That is an easy one for me.It's the way he puts his chords together for one thing. But then again, it could be anybody now who has copied his style over the past 40 years....you are doing good ,Jim, with your jazz website...keep going...al.

Howard-Thanks for your trust. I hope to be worthy of it.
Tommy-You may be right as Reece and Tom were very close for years....but I will stick with Reece on this. But who really knows?/...al.

I just gave it a closer listen. I believe it is Tom Morrell without pedals.
What is the winner's prize Jimbeaux? |

Jim-Well, Tommy White gets the prize. He is super.
But I heard Reece and Tom Morrell both playing S12 Bb6th tunings and they were trading licks, very hard to tell the diffrence, of course this was way back in the 60's over 40 years ago. So even though I picked Reece, I said it could be Tom. Close enough for Jazz....good show, Jimbeaux....al.

So Amazing! What a player he was!
Was the song "Impressions", "Milestones", "So What" or what? |

The song is 'Passing Through', written by John Case, and recorded 1975 in Ft. Worth, TX. The CD is called 'Eclipse / Two Moods' by the John & Jerry Case Sextet, including Jerry Case on guitar, Tom on PEDAL steel guitar, John Case on piano, Kirby Stewart on bass, Ted Wasser on Drums, and John Westerfall on trombone and bass trombone.
My thanks to Jhonny Case for sending me this great, and now historic, recording.

Jim-I bought all those Johnny Case Jazz LP's years ago and they are great. Reece is also playing on some of them too.
Back in those days, it seems like every steel player in the Dallas, Ft.Worth area was playing Reece's Bb6th maj7 tuning. I remember Reece took me over to the Longhorn to see Bill Braddy play on his S12 Bb6th tning, bless him. After that, I too had it on the botom neck of my MSA D12....al.

Sorry for the late reply. I forgot my password again.
Wow! I won the prize?  First time I've been right about anything in years!
Jim, although Tom Morrell is listed as playing pedal steel, I could not distinguish if indeed pedals were used, as I've heard him play those same voicings without pedals.
So,does that make me only partially correct?  |

Okay, okay, who's the wiseguy who just went and voted for Tom Morrell AFTER his identity was revealed?? Come on! Play fair, you turkeys!
Tommy, I'm gonna go ahead and give you full credit, not because you're a friend of mine, but because you knew it was Morrell and then you teetered on the edge of did-he-or-didn't-he have pedals and then you just fell off on the wrong side of the fence, that's all. So, since you 'showed your work'... FULL CREDIT!
(What is it about you guys named 'Tommy' anyway?)

| No but seriously, I couldn't get the song to play but from the choices I was sure it was Tom Morrel. Don D. I didn't vote by the way. Wished I had. |

What does that mean, Don? You never heard the clip but somehow you were just sure that I would never post a clip from any of those other guys listed? Huh??
