The Other Side of Tommy White on Google

Post by Bill Ferguson »

Image

Tommy & I were corresponding the other day and decided I should post this video. Many of you know Tommy as a "super fast" picker, some of you know him from the sounds of the Grand Old Opry. NOW, here's the pretty side (no pun intended)

This video was too long for YouTube, about 113MB and 7 minutes long

This is my kind of picking.

If I don't get at least 500 responses or emails on this one, I quit.. :D :shock: :roll:
REALLY just kidding

Just beautiful, thanks Bill. The sound is good on this clip, I can hear the great tones of the fiddles better. I noticed only one fiddle player on the credits.

I get nothing also. I think that I've tried every combo on this. If anyone can help out ie; the exact address that you typed in it would help. I even went to google etc., with no luck. This is one of my favorite Floyd Tillman songs. Thanks in advance.

I don't know why it did not show up as a "LINK" when I originally posted it, but I think it will now.

8) Bill; You have recently selected two of the best steel players, that God Blessed us with; our beloved Jeff Newman and now, our grand man, Tommy White. I'll bet that Floyd would roll right over, if he could hear Tommy play his song so beautifully. Both these gents playing brings tears to my eyes and laughter to my ears. Nothing could sound any better. Many thanks to you, Tommy and a special salute to Bill, for sharing all these videos with we forumites.A job well done, you guys.. Keep up the great work..Bernie :lol:
