Veteran Musicians Named ACM Instrumentalist Winners Michael Gray music.yahoo.com All seven winners in the instrumentalist categories for the 36th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, announced Monday (April 30) are first-call session players who have been in the winner's circle before, some of them eight or nine times. Eddie Bayers won in the drums category for the 10th consecutive year. Mark O'Connor recaptured Fiddle Player of the Year after a five-year absence. O'Connor won the "Hat" trophy in 1986, then held the title from 1988-1994. Dobro master Jerry Douglas picked up his fourth consecutive victory and his ninth overall in the Special Instrument category, where he edged out banjo, harmonica and mandolin players. Brent Mason was voted Guitar Player of the Year for the eighth consecutive year. Paul Franklin took honors for best steel guitar player. He has won the award six times and tied once. John Hobbs won Keyboardist of the Year, making it his sixth victory in the category following three wins and two ties since 1986. Michael Rhodes ended Glenn Worf's eight-year winning streak in the bass field. Rhodes won Bass Player of the Year once before, in 1989. The 36th Annual ACM Awards will air May 9 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
