Re: Session Players.

In some cases one not need even play on the session to be credited. Case in point: In the 1960's Merle Haggard used both James Burton and Roy Nichols on lead guitar. There were many sessions where Roy did not play. He simply sat and watched Burton play, but he was still credited in the Union Contract. (They didn't credit session players on album covers back then).
