Tommy White on Music City Tonight

Post by Peter Freiberger »

Someone posted a great collection of clips of Tommy from the old Music City Tonight show. Some pretty scary stuff.

Tommy and I have been friends for many years.

I just wish he would teach me some of that stuff.

Truly, in my opinion, Tommy White is the best steel guitarist on this planet.

The only bad thing about his playing is how inadequate I feel when I watch him play :?

Speaking of Tommy White, have ya'll seen MY new Sho-Pro?

Ha! Did you decide to take it on, John? I think it's doable from the pictures I've seen. It's a beauty!

Tommy White is the man. That video scares me more than just about anything I've seen lately.

Tommy can rip it apart on the fast stuff and tear your heart out on the slow stuff. That's a quality very few players have.

Heck yea I took it on. It ain't but a small split in a wood guitar to me which happens to the best of lacquered wood guitars.

Also I heard Will play it on his broadcast and man, what a sound, corse' most of that was Will.

Now I've got more ShoBuds and Sho-Pros than I know what to do with. I guess it's like havin good huntin dogs, you can't get enough but there's such a thing as one too many.
Now that there is some free hillbilly wisdom fellas

That was an absolute plesure to watch. What can you say about Tommy White that has not been said. And that lady on the fiddle is a talented lady as well.

Me too, Bill.

Playing that good is just all kinds of wrong.

There's not enough room on this planet for me and Tommy White. I guess I'll be moving.

John, beautiful guitar there! They have a sound all their own.
I can't say it enough fellas, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Those clips are nearly 25 years old. Wish I had the chops I had then with the sense I have now!
Thanks again friends!
