Like stated above that was Kayton Roberys. He played with Hank Snow for 29 years which ened due to Hank Snows death. He was a heck of a player and gentlemen we all miss him!
I love Hanks music. I could watch old video's of him all day...The Rainbow Ranch Boys were such a good backing band, too. Chubby Wise has some claims to being a co-writer of the Orange Blossom Special but there has been some questions on that issue. I know he plays one of my favorite versions of it. Kayton Roberts was just a fantastic steel guitar player. I think he is still alive and playing.
I believe the story about Hank Snow TELLING Chubby Wise he was fired, but they were together for close to 20 years. Kayton Roberts has said that Chubby helped get him hired and that when Mr. Snow found out he played non-pedal steel, he moved him over from rhythm guitar.
my late daddy loved Jimmys song

Chubby Wise is my uncle. He did co write the Orange Blossom Special in Jacksonville, Fl.
@@pamelanrobertMy favorite fiddle player
a steel a fiddle and a guitar, thats all you need!
The wig story is hilarious.
How did Hank get such a BIG sound with just a fiddle and steel for backing? What a great post! many thanks.
Jimmie Rodgers did it first!
Great to see Chubby Wise on fiddle. Must have been before Hank fired him when his bow accidently dislodged his wig.
I really dig hank snow, but his suit with grapes on it? thats just hillarious

He tells me it's Kayton Roberts on Steel
My brother told me it was true & he is in a position to know.
I'll ask him about th steel player & get back to you
Hank fired Chubby because he accidently flipped off Hank's toupee with the end of his fiddle bow in the middle of a live show at the Opry.
Whoever that is? It's the late great Kayton Roberts!
