| I agree, Buddy C was one of the best! That's some amazing stuff, a type you never hear these days. The mid-60s was certainly the high-water mark for pedal steel; so many great players, and so many great sounds. |

| May be Don Worden who was the steel player in Porter's band. The intro was most likely played by Buck Trent on his electric 5 string banjo. |

I would almost bet that it is Buddy Charleton.
I don't think Don Warden could have played that solo.

| That's Buck Trent on his electric banjo with benders. He was a master and his intro and turn around on Porters stuff was incredible. Carroll County Incident on Porters earlier music is a classic. |

| The break in the middle of the song is Buddy Charleton. He told me himself years ago when ET and The Troubadours played at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. He used a lot of "hammer on's" for that turnaround. Buck did the intro though. |

| Sho-Bud's legacy is all over the place! It was in Charleton's early guitars and in the custom banjo puller lever system that Shot Jackson designed and installed on Buck Trent's banjo. |

I am amazed at the stuff Charleton pulled off.. He played that way on steels that were "dinosaurs" compared to the high tech guitars in use today.. I mean really- Buck Trent on banjo-Buddy Charleton on steel in the same song??.. geez, can't get much better than that.. Great solo, nothing like that being done today. At least not that I am aware of... bob

Not to derail the thread, but you're right - Don Warden's playing skills weren't anywhere close to that. Nonetheless, he did get inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame for his simple but solid playing, and maybe also for buying and playing the very first Sho~Bud guitar ever built. His real claim to fame in my mind, though (and the source of his millions) was being Dolly Parton's manager until he died about 5 years ago. The way I see it, he did alright on all counts.
Here's a sample of Don's Early playing:
