Mystery solved. Thanks, guys! I saw the thread but it was too long and I didn't want to read the last couple of pages of just arguing and long discussion. I was afraid my question would get buried and never answered! I have always loved this song and wondered who that fantastic piano player was. Now I know. Thanks again.

You know, Charlie McCoy's harmonica is also fantastic!!

Elvisly,
