So glad you like the post!...@RoadHawg - Howdy Hawg! So glad you like the post! To answer your question, that's the legendary Little Roy Wiggins on steel guitar with Eddy Arnold - the signature sound of so many of Arnold's hits.<br /><br />I'm not sure what kind of steel Little Roy played, but one reference I found mentioned a Gibson. There's a Mel Bay book on his playing style with tablature, etc. I would think there's a good chance they may talk about the instruments he played in the book. Here's a link:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Mel-Bay-presents-Little-Wiggins/dp/0786682140/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281133364&sr=1-2<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and for the kind comments!<br /><br />JLFJoaquin LeFleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477958020377914424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872550936435479791.post-11163307199309861062010-08-06T07:49:29.143-07:002010-08-06T07:49:29.143-07:00Joaquin — Thanks for your great write-up of Cindy ...Joaquin — Thanks for your great write-up of Cindy Walker. And for your tasty selection of her songs. Got a question: I'm a beginning Steel player. The amazing sound of the steel on the intro to "Take Me In Your Arms and Hold Me", here sung by Eddy Arnold, got my attention. It has that throaty Rickenbacher-magnetic-pickup sound. Do you know who played what kind of steel on that amazing intro? Thanks!<br />RoadHawgRoadHawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753783318207175771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872550936435479791.post-44888031562154951682010-07-23T22:12:42.083-07:002010-07-23T22:12:42.083-07:00What an amazing sample of this gifted songwriter&#...What an amazing sample of this gifted songwriter's work.
