Its not me. They never played the wheeling Jamboree when I was with them. This video goes back a while since that's their dad playing bass. I don't recognize the drummer, so I can assume the rest of the players are staff musicians. The steel work is quite good. The Brothers have their own show coming on the RFD Channel this month.

I think it was probably Joe Turner at that time.
I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

Thanks for clarifying, Clyde.
I've watched several of the Malpass Brothers when you were playing steel and guitar with them, and was very impressed with your playing. Good job! :)

Chris Malpass tells me that is the staff steel player at the Jamboree. Thanks for the kind word Dave.
