? for Tommy White

Post by Tony Dingus »

Tommy, I heard the Christmas song "Deck the Halls" today and that was you wearing it out.
When was this recorded and where can I find the album? For you people in the Kingsport area, listen to 90.3 FM. They are playing Christmas music all day long and I hear alot of steel on the cuts they're playing. Thanks Tommy and Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks Brett, I went to Wal Mart after I posted the question and while looking for a Kenny G Christmas cd I found it by accident.
There's some good pickin' on there. Brett, you da man, have a Great Thanksgiving buddy.

Sheeesh,
I once heard Tommy Play "Here comes Santa Clause" several years ago on the Opry, and his use of the 7th string (F#) passages he did on that number ROCKED. Image
What can I say about the "Killer" that HAS NOT already been said before?
Tommy, I wish you and Yours a SAFE and HAPPY Thanksgiving. Image

Tony, Ron and Brett,
Thank you for the kindness and information.
I had forgotten all about that particular "Christmas in Nashville" CD project until I saw this thread, as I never recieved a copy from the label. I'll try finding it at Walmart too.
Thanks again,
T.W.

Carol of the Bells
The First Noel
O Holy Night
Silent Night
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
Joy to the World

I just bought the only one on Ebay. There is another "Christmas in Nashville" listed, but it was put out on Laserlight. My adage is "If it ain't available on Ebay, I don't need it".

This cd has 6 instrumentals and 6 vocals.
I saw it at a Dollar General store too for 3 dollars. What a deal. If you want to hear Tommy play some good pedabro, get Paul Brewster's Everybody's Talkin' cd plus there's a little steel too. Hey Tommy how about another cd??? Love your playing since the first time I heard you with the Whites.

Christsmas music has long been some of my favorite music for the steel and this CD has instantly become one of my favorite CD's. I was very lucky/fortunate to find a copy at a Walmart near my house. It seemed to be the only copy. I was looking for it a day or two after this first posted. Thanks for turning the rest of us on to it. Tommy and all the artist did an awesome job!
