He's still great to watch and listen to at the NTSGA events and at the the R.O.P.E. meetings at the Nashville Nightlife Club.

I've got the book "The Honky Tonk Angels" by Walt Trott, it talks a lot about the 1952-1957 sessions but it's not real crystal clear as to who played on the later sessions.

Kitty used Shot Jackson, Bud Isaacs, and Harold Morrison (yep) on sessions up through 1957. After that it appears that she used Jimmy Crawford, Billy Bowman, Stu Basore, George Edwards, very likely Russ Hicks, possibly Johnny Siebert, and maybe Buddy Emmons. One must remember that not only did Kitty have a lot of hits, she recorded an enormous catalog of songs (she covered everything on the market) and also re-cut some of her earlier hits when stereo came along. So it's likely that some other well-known steeler(s) worked a session or two with her somewhere along the line, but the book doesn't say. I betcha Johnny Wright has it all written down and stashed somewhere in one of his file cabinets but he ain't talkin' about it and neither is Miss Kitty, so we have to trust the book for now until the unnamed steeler(s) identify themself.

But in the Password version, Pete put a whole new twist on it that really got my attention. I thought at the time it was some of the prettiest playing he had ever done.
Especially when he turned it back into a Dom7th to reintro the bridge. Regards, Paul
