| Tommy...I just heard part of the "Fleetwood Grass" cd. WOW..great stuff. Just wondering if you used standard gbdgbd tuning for most of that?? |

Hi Bill,
Do you mean that Tommy White is actually member of this forum?. What a privilege to have him here. I was stunned by his virtuosity on an other forum's video.
Bravo Mr. White
Blessings,
Abel |

| Back in the early 90's, Tommy put his Dobro on a Stonewall Jackson album called "Super Friends." Tommy White's Dobro playing is right up there with his steel playing which is to say: phenomenal!!! |

| If I am not mistaken, Tommy toured with the Whites on dobro for a stint the 80's after Jerry Douglas left, not an easy spot to fill. |

Tommy checks in from time to time.
I listen to WSM AM on-Line and catch a lot of his work on the GOO. Never get tired of hearing him play things just like "on the record"..or taking off with some great improvising. But I didn't know he was a master of the dobro. |

Tommy is a phenomenal musician period. He has the best attack on any instrument he picks up. I saw him play 6-string guitar one time and he blew me away.

I remember being at the Opry on my senior class trip in 1992 and seing the Whites' portion of the show. I just remember them having a dobro player who was a really hot picker and Sharon announcing that he was Tommy White. I thought, "Dang, I didn't know those girls had a brother who could pick like that!" It didn't dawn on me until several years later that Tommy White, the steel player from tv (and whose old push-pull I currently own), was the "little White brother" (who isn't).  |
