Where can you find him playing on line. A guy in Texas said there was no better player.

You'll find him if you search google or here on the forum, he passed away in 2017. Correct spelling of his last name is Reinhard

He played for Bobby Flores for a good while. Search some of Bobby's albums. Search Bobby Flores Bubbles In My Beer for some fantastic C6. I can't remember the album name.

I think it's not about who's best, its about how are they different. In Randy's case, he was in the top echelon of steel players. Also a great piano player. The Texas guys kept him busy doing great country music. Bobby Flores could bring out the best in a song, and for Randy to be in his band says a lot. Those guys worked so hard to make their music stand out from the rest. It could all be country, but the artist had their signature stamped on the songs. There was no mistaking who it was. Nashville seems to be on a campaign to make theirs sound genetic and all alike. Unfortunately, both Bobby and Randy left us way too soon.

Jack Greene, Ronnie Milsap, Charlie Walker, Charlie Louvin, Faron Young, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, Moe Bandy, Ray Pillow, Del Reeves, the list goes on and on....,and on. All were great, but very different. To tell the difference in today's artist, I guess you'd have to really follow it closely, which I admittedly don't do. If it's male or female is about as close as I can get. Plenty of talent in Nashville, but they don't seem to care about the sound that I remember Nashville for. I guess it's my loss. I'd like to be interested in what their doing, but it just don't happen for me.
