| Not sure when they had their 75th anniversary show. However Tommy White has held the chair for the last 5 to 7 years.I can't remember.Time flys.Anyway Mr.White is the best all around steeler in the world. Visit his website @ Tommy White.net |

Basil, Tommy White was sure enough the staff steeler on the show. He is such a player as well. So under rated as well. He is right up there at the top of my list of all time great players.

Underrated????
Not around here!!!
Tommy has been one of the finest steel players on the planet since he was 10 years old or so.

| Hey Basil, It is Tommy White, I have a copy of the show and just watched it.Thats the one where Little Jimmy Dickins was almost set on fire by the sparklers on the cake. I taped many many of the old opry shows and the old HEE HAW shows also. Not many good shows like that any more !!I do know the Little Ol Oprey show in West Fork Ar.is a goooood one and a lot of fun. If your ever down this way, try to be there some saturday night. Ron |
