When Gibson first started recording on RCA, he did: "A Dark Future"; Red Lips, White Lies and BLue Hours", "just let me love you" and "WIGGLE WAGGLE". The latter was a steel guitar instrumental...some fine back-up work and great melody lines ....similar to JB. Anyone know WHO that guitarist was? |

Ray, I surely don't know, but I'd guess either Pete Drake or Walter Haynes. BB ------------------ |

Ray: It could have been Eagle Eye Hendricks or possibly Howard White. They both worked with Don during the first part of his recording career. My guess would be Eagle Eye. |
