I got up a little after 5:00am and turned on the tube. Searching through the bullshit I landed on public TV where they were broadcasting a Chet Atkins jam with Waylon, Willie, Mark Knoffler, Michael Macdonald and others. The Conga player/percussionist was paying harp through the entire show. Does anyone know who it was? I think the show was called "Chet Atkins, Guitar player".

My guess would be Terry McMillan. He played a lot in Nashville and also was a world class percussionist.

it was more likely to be Pat Bergeson than anyone else.

Hard to say from the first video, cos we barely get a glimpse, but based on the hair it looks like Terry Mcmillan to me:

Terry Mac, He was my other most influental harp player.
Fingers Taylor and Terry Mac. are the ones that addicted me to this Harmonica state of mind I currently live in. There are others but these guys really connected with my harmonica soul.

Kyzer,
it took me a while but I tabed out Terry's version.
I used his version to play at Cowboy church. I can't use the long runs and the blow bends at church cause the rest of the band just dosn't get it. For the most part I use most of it. It dissapoints me though, I really spent many hours getting to where I can play along with him, damm near note for note.The up side is I can make the moves he does and Iv'e incorperated that style in my playing be it with the church band or the rock/blues band I play in.
I got the CD off Amazon that has this version on it . It's called "Iv'e got a feeling" a real kick ass gospel CD. Terry also made one with Larry Carlton that is well worth getting. It's called "Renagde Gentlmen". A combination of two polished musicians!
"Cold day in hell" is my favorite.

Adam,
Thanks for that. I remember seeing that on TV as a kid. Maybe not the exact vid but definitely the same intro for Terry.
