For sure that's Billy Mize, mine and Jim Bob's old boss (although JB worked with him a lot longer than I did) Billy was one helluva vocalist and song writer as well having written "Who'll Buy the Wine" recorded by Charley Walker, Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley, among others. Also "Terrible Tangled Webb" recorded by himself and Dean Martin. My favorite memory of Billy was when he sang Joe Carson's song "Helpless" one night at the gig and I was vaguely familiar with the song and played a very simple steel ride on it. Billy came up to me later and told me he'd played steel on Joe Carson's session and said he'd show me the instrumental break. I learned it and the next time we did the song I was so anxious to show him how I could play it that I blew it big time....Oh well. A super nice guy is Billy Mize and one of the most underrated talents in music......JH in Va.

Also in the video, besides Maphis and Travis, is Jimmy Pruitt on piano, and off to Skeets' right is Johnny Bond and Freddie Hart. Pee Wee Adams... I think... is the drummer. Jay Stewart ("Come On DOWN") was the announcer introducing SM. I didn't recognize the bassist.
