| I'm going to guess (truly just a guess but my ears tell me this too) Hal Rugg. |

My ears also made me think it was more likely Hal Rugg.
Check out the Hee Haw cast on Chalker's left arm on this version from Hee Haw at 1:10 -

I agree with Jerry, that the intro sounds exactly like Lew Houston. But, the solo sounds a lot like Hal Rugg. Maybe Hal copied a demo that had Lew on it?

Google helped me find some previous discussions on Lew Houston.
Thanks!

It's John.
John did all the Conway/Loretta duets.
He signed his name at :013-:014.

That's what John told me too. Sounded like John from the first few notes. The tone sounded more like him than Hal.

Thanks for sharing this great stuff about John Hughey.
I also learned that he did "Bloody Mary Morning" with Willie. I always admired the solo at 1:15 in the following video:
