My Dad just got back from the Alan Jackson concert in Erie, PA and he is wondering who all the band members were, particularly the steel guitar player who was playing a Derby pedal steel. Any info on this or links to web sites with this information would be greatly appreciated.

Greg, Alan's steel guitar player is Robbie Flint. He uses this forum too. Alan and his band, The Strayhorns have been together since 1989 when Alan first came into country music. Brett Day, Emmons S-10

And I remember a 13 or 14 year old kid with the name of Bob Hempker from Ohio that came to Fort Wayne, Ind. and played a whole lot of steel. That's been a while ago. Back to what this post was about I think Alan Jackson and George Strait are about the only true country acts out there to get any airplay. We still get away with playin' "Traditional Country" every weekend, Doyle

Doyle, I remember all that well. I don't think I really played all that good back then, but I was aggressive and loud. Thanks, anyway. I remember you playing pretty well yourself back then.
