Been a while since I've seen Terry. Sure didn't look like him, but I defer to those that know. Thanks Brett.

[Just watched it again, got a better look at his face this time and that bar index finger grip].

It was also good to hear area heroes made good Opry Ace Tommy White and Rex Wiseman with the Oaks.

Tony, it's the new Circle TV that just launched Jan 1. It's on an NBC digital sub channel here.

Try www.circleallaccess.com for info in your area.

Some good stuff both new and old. Only complaints are there are a lot of repeats and a ton of commercial breaks. I'm sick of Bill Engvall and Joe Willie Namath's faces. :lol: Wish they would find some new sponsors. :lol: :lol:

That's the price we pay though, I guess. Check it out.

They show WVLT as the over the air channel in Knoxville. I believe they have at least one digital sub channel, so maybe it's on one of them. Sometimes you need to re-scan the digital stations for new programs and/or stations.

FYI, the program originates out of Nashville on WSM.

The show that aired last evening and this morning here had Ricky Skaggs doing some of his early stuff.

Kentucky Thunder is a great acoustic band, but I really missed the steel part on Hwy 40 Blues...especially with Tommy White in the house. I was really looking forward to hearing him on this tune, but they featured the fiddle on the steel part. :(

TW is I think the best I've ever heard at covering recorded steel parts just like the original if and when he wants to. Of course he a master stylist in his own right as well. I heard him do a run from the old Dailey and Vincent show that had everybody there wigged out.

Tommy did play on That's Why I'm Walkin' with a nice nod from Ricky on his work.

He also played, fabulously of course, with some of the other artists.
