Isn't that Jerry Byrd playing pedals? Very Happy

This is an example of the tone of a Sho-Bud permanent which is more twangy on the third string than a PP....... It is Hal Rugg's personal tone and style.
Its definitely pedals.

Bobby Lord basically quit the music bidness when he was about 35 years old. Way too soon, he was a talented entertainer. But he wanted to make some money, prob'ly.

Paul, would Hal have still been playing a Permanent in '67? (That's when the song was recorded.) I thought he switched to a Fingertip around '65 or '66?

14 February 1967 Bradley‘s Barn, Bender’s Ferry Road, Mount Juliet, TN – Bobby Lord (Producer: Owen Bradley):

065 118631/NA 14510 ON AND ON GOES THE HURT Decca 32114
066 118632/NA 14511 ONE DAY DOWN 31174
067 118633/NA 14512 SHADOWS ON THE WALL 31171
068 118634/NA 14513 LOOK WHAT YOU?RE DOING 32115/DL-75246

No musicians listed but perhaps listening to the other cuts on that session (3 more cuts) might yield more clues as to the steel player. "Shadows" was on the "B" side of a 45 with "One Day Down" on the "A" side.

I remember seeing one of those 30 minute sindicated Country Music shows with Bobby Lord as host. I remember him opening up with this song because it really lit me up for steel guitar. The steel player on that show was Walter Haynes. It may not be him on the record, but I think it was. What a great player in this important era for pedal steel!
