This is the fiddler Tom Morley you are asking about and YES, I was Country singer John Anderson's fiddle player, playing in his band from 1981 through 1985. I played fiddle & mandolin on six of his Warner Bros. albums (including two 'Greatest Hits' compilations) and contributed the string arrangements as well on the 'Eye of a Hurricane' album. You can see me on the cover of the 'All The People Are Talkin' album (far left side, leaning against the truck) and on numerous videos, including several 'Hee Haw' appearances, all available on YouTube.

All of John Anderson's 1980s Warner Bros. albums have been re-released by Collector's Choice Music and are available at Amazon.com, although the original liner notes are missing and the names of all of John's band members are often missing. (We all started playing on John's studio recordings starting with the release of 1983's 'Wild & Blue', which was quite a precedent to set in those days.)

John's first 4 Warner Bros. albums feature legendary Nashville studio fiddler Buddy Spicher. That's him you hear on the great fiddle solo in 'I'm Just An Old Chunk of Coal'. Buddy was and is still one of my all-time favorite fiddlers and I tried to emulate his playing throughout my honky-tonk fiddling career.
