Vance Terry (1934-2001) is one of the very finest steel men ever to record both on nonpedal with Billy Jack Wills and pedal work with Jimmy Rivers later. After he left Bob Wills in 1955 at the age of 21 to go to college, he never really pursued a music career, but only played for amusement. Fortunately for us he taped a lot of his gigs with Jimmy Rivers at the 23 Club in Brisbane, CA between 1960-64 (Buddy Emmons would come down to the Club to listen and sit in). The photo at the top of the page shows Vance onstage with his Bigsby sometime before May of 1954, when he had Paul Bigsby install two pedals.
