| There was no house band at the ACM's. Edgar Strubel did all of the bumper music and theme songs. It was probably Tommy White on those tracks. |

All the bumper music was pre-recorded, along with many of the performance tracks.
However Lee Ann Womack had a live band that consisted of Brent Mason, Eddie Bayers, Paul Franklin, Stuart Duncan, Steve Gibson, Glenn Worf, Steve Nathan and John Jarvis.
They were all in town (Vegas), as the house band for taping of a TV show, honoring George Strait as "Country Artist of the Decade".

That was quite a production!

| I think Travis Toy was playing a Fender with Rascal Flatts. And it sure looked like Randy Beavers with LeeAnn, but maybe I'm wrong. He was pretty far back in the shadows. |

With Steel guitar, George Strait and Jamey Johnson were the only live bands. The rest were tracks. The Fender was a double 8 string piece of, well it was a prop!
Tim,
It was great to see you there. Leann used our group for the ACM's.

Hey Paul, I thought that was you and Brent up there. The only good picture where I could see the steel player was with Reba, I could see it was Bruce and then I saw that Fender? 
I thought it was a great production! The emphasis was on performances by the artist, not the awards. |

So I wonder how many Fender props are there in LA.
Al Vescovo was telling me about one he used in the Dewey Cox/Walk Hard movie.

| Fender as a prop. Somebody missed a golden opportunity to get their brand advertised ... |

Is it just me, or has the irony of "playing to tracks" hit any other steelers?  |

No...please explain... |
OK, let's say a guy really busts his butt half his life or more to get good enough to run with the big dogs, only to realize that someone else will be doing the master sessions and someone else will be doing the tracks to which he will be "playing" to onstage, and so on. To me that's ironic, to others it might sound something like sour grapes, I don't know. At the same time I'm saying this, I'm well aware that life's a gamble and you pays your money and you takes your chances, etc. etc. and maybe that explains it.

Sorry Paul. I was in the middle of cooking dinner when LeeAnn came on and I stepped into the living room for a quick glance and all I could see was a silouette of the steel player. I didn't even notice who the rest of the band guys were or I would've known it was you.
It was a fun time hanging out and talking about some good 'ol country music with you at rehearsals.
Always great to see you and getting to hear you play.

That's pretty funny. My Mom used to call sugar substitutes "plastic sugar". |

Such an embarrassment sitting behind one of Leo Fender's creations for those guys, huh?
I'm sure they'd all rather sit behind instruments made for them by daddy...

I can't or won't speak for Paul, but I doubt that he meant any dis-respect. I have to assume that the "prop" was probably not a working guitar and that his comment was strictly referring to that particular instrument, not Leo's contribution to the industry.
