And A One And A Two... Merle Travis.. American History.. Coal Miners..
No Not Minors! Miners ! Enjoy! Longer versions are out there. Once in Cincinnati at a live concert I attended, Tommy put down about a 5 minute intro to this tune that was orgasmic for a failing aspiring guitar player like myself.
So he's got his left hand on the strings but is strumming the WOOD instead of the strings? He's right, it's like having a back up band! Like he's playing bass..... Amazing player, I must say!!! Fun how he gets as big a kick out of the music as his fans do. I like that!
He sure loves it Z. Learned the style listening to his idol Chet Atkins, and started playing in his family band at 6. He's very creative and if anyone likes this kind of music, he puts on a really great show.
Finally caught up with this. Always glad to get a chance to experience Tommy. The guy NEVER disappoints. He's a real genius. There ain't no doubt about it.
I had no idea until now that he could also SING. Amazing man!
I would never have thught otherwise, Kid. He's obviously a real Guy's Guy, but I'm sure women find him attractive.
I'll tell you THIS: Tommy has MUCH more talent in music and llve performace than John Wayne ever did as a movie actor. –– and I LIKED Jon Wayne, so don't get me wrong.
Do we even want to know about Tommy's political views?

DeleteWhat Z said. It's like he is his own 3-piece band. He sure is fun to watch as well as listen.
ReplyDeleteDaBlade, He loves to entertain. To be his own band was his intention. 18 minutes but easy to skip through.

He doesn't sing much Franco, but he puts one out on occasion.
DeleteFor what's it's worth Franco, Tommy is no pussy willow either. He fancies himself a John Wayne type.
