Mike was it possibly Stu Basore? At one time I think he had a converted push-pull.

Dan Tyack played with her around that time period, maybe a little earlier. If it wasn't him he might know who it was. He's a member here.

Billy Poe played steel for her in the 70s and Herby Wallace also played steel for her at one time.

Hey y'all,
I found out from Tommy White that he played steel for Donna Fargo from 1976 til the early 1980s and Paul Franklin and Herby Wallace played steel in the band prior to Tommy.

I played with Donna Fargo in 1979, as I recall. Herby Wallace played before me, and Tommy White before him. I don't have a clue who played after me. I was just thankful I never had to play 'Funny Face' ever again (or see the real funny face in person Smile ).

the mistery steel players first name is

Ken..........that ring any bells?

I found the tape I made 25 years ago

I wish I had of had him say his whole name on the darn tape but I was so into his steel playing it didnt occur to me.......

........you're speaking of my old roommate and fine steel guitarist Kenny Albert who now resides in St. Louis, Mo. You might also remember him from the MuSym-Tab book featuring the styles of several Nashville legends, Among them Jimmie Crawford and, I believe, Weldon Myrick.
Hope this helps Smile
