Watch what happens after 2:51 What a run! Nice job!
One of my all time favorite rides. I'm going to burn both my guitars now, and throw the amps on top!

Listen to his phrasing and sense of melody! It really doesn't get any better than this!

Y'all can come get my stuff and we'll make this one of the best Bonfires ever.

Yeah he takes to a whole 'nother level . . !

Always a pleasure to listen to him and other big league players.

But I'm not going to burn my gear . . yet!

Going to just keep plodding along and enjoy the ride . . $:\$

I just now listened to it.

Roy, Dick, I have a MSA, a Webb amp, a few other things I would like to add to the bonfire if you don't mind.

Wohow, that is something. If I would be in the band, playing another instrument, I think I couldn't play on, just watch and listen... $:\$

And...count me in on the bonfire...

Kind Regards, Walter

Forget the bonfire. After watching both of those videos, I'm going to send my wife to the store and just burn down the house around me with everything in it.

It should be against the law to play like that in public. Dang you Tommy White!!!

I like the way he does the rake in the beginning.
Here's a tab for it.

Hold that thought Mark, my sh$% is still in the car from last gig, bringing it over to your house in time for the fire!!!!.....

Tommy is unbelievable...

Too late David. I already have the insurance check. I told the insurance company that I was playing a Tommy White CD, and all the hot licks caught the house on fire. At first they didn't believe me, but after they listened to those two videos that I listened to, they wrote the check to cover the damage right then and there.

Older thread I know, but I just listened to T.W.'s Wichita Lineman again from the 2003 By Request CD. What terrific tone and phrasing. Of course I've been a fan of Ky's native son for many years and have always been thrilled to hear him at the many venues around the country.

I think I'm gonna throw my gear in bonfire with the rest of you. After nearly 40 years of struggling, I don't come anywhere near approximating this type of professional quality.

Not wanting to make anybody feel bad, but seriously, it might just be time to sell out and quit trying.

Tommy White destroys another life.

Robert Lashier · Post by **Robert Lashier** » 24 Nov 2017 11:25 am

Jumping on the bandwagon here, all I can say is wow! Does anybody know where a person could get a copy of his By Request CD?

Robert Lashier · Post by **Robert Lashier** » 24 Nov 2017 11:30 am

Anyway we could use the metal from all our burned steels to make a statue of Tommy? Just saying...

Robert,

That is a great idea.
