Who was the steel player for Robert Booth, and who was playing for Buck Owens tonight on Hee-Haw?
Booth's steel player was tall and lanky, dark hair.
Buck Owen's was blondish color hair, very young. Don't think it was Brumley.

I had the same questions, especially about Buck's player. Do you think that episode was in the early 70's?

Niels, I think it was a very early episode, not sure of the year, but I do think it was one of the early ones. I'm thinkin Booth's steel player might have been a young Stu Basor,(just a wild guess) don't know about Bucks steel player.

| I believe that was Jerry Brightman Backing Tony Booth on Key's in the mailbox. Jerry also played for Buck Owens during those years. |

| Yes, Jerry Brightman. I believe he also did an album with Tony Booth. "Keys In The Mailbox". |

I thought I would share these photo's taken at The Buck Owens Ranch Show in 1972. The Hee Haw show from this past week was done in 1973.

| That would be Jerry Wiggins on drums, and Doyle Curtsinger on bass. Let me say here that we had Jerry as a featured artist on one of our first steel shows and he was a blast to have with us. Then he got busy and we just have never been able to get him back. |

Hi Jerry, you played steel with Gene Walker, and I, at the Rose lounge in Copley, before you went with Buck.

I don't get much time these days to visit the Forum , but I wanted to thank everyone for the emails and comments. There seems to be about two more years of shows yet to come that I was on during the Hee-Haw years.
