Who played steel on Talk to me old lonesome heart?

I awoke a thread from the past, I did a search first and this is all I could find, but it's in Tablature so it may not get enough traffic to be noticed. So I am reposting here too.

Can anyone tell me, from the historical records, who played steel on the jukebox version of this George Jones tune. I wanna guess Jimmy Day but I've been wrong before?

There are some head tilting/ear bending changes in the pads and fills.

Thanks all.

Thanks Brian. I appreciate it.

For some real brain exploding pads and fills check out "It's a Sin" by George as well. No question who was pickin' them strings....
Jimmy even makes the strings "growl"..
