I could think of no one else that defined \u201cstudio musician\u201d better. He knew when to play, what to play and just as importantly \u2026 when <em>not<\/em> to play.

I was in awe of his playing \u2026 I\u2019ll never forget when he set up his talk box and the pedal steel started<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>singing to us all. Pete was a lovely man and a wonderful player. I miss him always.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a record producer, Pete helmed projects on\u00a0<strong>The\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Oak Ridge Boys, Melba Montgomery, BJ Thomas (earning SESAC and Dove Awards), Ringo Starr, Slim Whitman,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Tommy James, Bobby Vinton<\/strong>\u00a0and others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duane Allen, The Oak Ridge Boys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recorded\u00a0<em>\u2018Heaven Bound\u2019<\/em>\u00a0over 45 years ago with Pete producing, and we still do it in our show.
