The Steel Guitar Forum

.This week we had the pleasure of having the great Tommy White to entertain us frozen Norwegians with his tasteful playing,together with Vince Gill and a great band. They had 3 shows here,and I was at the last one,a festival in Breim where I also played with a local band. I have always loved the music of Vince Gill,as I am sure many of you do as well,with lots of nice steel playing by John Hughey.It was fantastic to have them in Norway,we don`t have too many great acts coming over,so this was "Christmas in July". Tommy did a very nice job on his Show Pro,as a steeler myself one could always wanted more steel when he have a man like Tommy in the band,but that`s the way his records are as well,not steel all over,but all in all,a very professional and great show.Got to talk to Tommy a little,and he was a very friendly and nice guy! I hope they had a great time here,and they are welcome back any time!
Best from Egil.

Tommy is a class act, musically and personally.

Too bad I missed that one Egil. I was back in Norway May 15 to June 12. It must have been a treat to hear and talk to Tommy.

Didn't see too many steel players this time around....In fact the only one I met was Tommy Roten on the Kiel ship. Nice surprise indeed!

Nice to meet you at the Kieltrip Bent, it was a big coincidence i think, and a nice surprice! I did unfortunately not hear Vince at his concerts in Norway this time, but I'm enjoying some of the clips on Youtube, here is Look at us (from Arendal):

I enjoyed that.

Shame I missed it, I am going over to Norway in August.
Hope Tommy is going to the Dallas TSGA in 2013 too.

Tommy sure sounds good on those videos. They just had him too low in the mix.
