[Anne Marie Werbitsky]

Does anyone know who the steel player was for 'A New Love' - Wynn Stewart?

[Charlie Hansen]

Maybe Stu Basore,.

[Bill Fisher]

I imagine it was Ralph Mooney.

[Ricky Davis]

Yes it was Ralph Mooney. Ralph used to brag and say:"Wynn Stewart is my Singer".....

Allmusic lists Stu Basore, Junior Boyer and Jimmy Collins, Sonny Garrish & Lloyd Green but I think they have this album mixed up with a couple of others.

Yes; but the answers I know are right from Mooney who lived just up the street from me when I lived in Mansfield, Tx for 5 years with my first Wife early 90's. He was so incredible with his memory of all the cool old Wynn Stewart stuff and early Buck; as he knew Tom Brumley was my first Teacher and he loved telling me story's Tom didn't know...ha...
But the things Ralph didn't tell me about some later years; I found those stories out from James Burton, who I played on a couple records with James and he told me some Ralph and Waylon stuff nobody knows....so there ya go; from the MAN's mouth is the only way you can truly know the Truth.

Definitly Moon. This is one of the records that turned me into a Mooney freak. Listen to his command of the "Pick Me Up On Your Way down" lick. He makes it his own on this recording.

[Al Udeen]

In 1960 my Dad was playing a package show with Wynn Stewart and he asked my dad can you play the intro for ‘ pick me upOn your way down’ and my dad preceded to play the Jimmy day forward slant bar intro to which Wynn was blowing away. It was my Dads greatest compliment of his career when Wynn said “Ralph Mooney would give his laugh n#t to play that”
That intro would of went something like this…

what kind of steel was Moon using at this point?.. I read it was some kind of Magnatone or National console steel with pedals and pull mechanism made out of parts from a car jack, or something??.. is that accurate?.. If so, i am going to start looking for car jack parts from the 50's... bob
