| I just went to the Grand Ole Opry this past Saturday and saw my good friend Tommy White, I love the way John Hughey played "Look At Us" But let me say Tommy played it sat. with Vince Gill and it was one of the best turnarounds I have ever heard way to go Tommy!! |

I wish Tommy would stop that.  He just plays to darn good.Always with fresh cool ideas. Is there not a law against this?? 
Anyway, would love to hear his take on Look At Us. |

| Hey Rabbit! I just want to say that I love the steel work you did in "It still takes a wise man to pray" I wish I could find tab on that. It is a wonderful song. Such a blessing! Thanks. [This message was edited by Curt Langston on 07 August 2005 at 07:58 PM.] |

| I heard Tommy play when he was about thirteen years old, and he played great then. Over the years he just keeps getting better and better. His Dad was a great player also. I guess the old saying is true, the apple never falls to far from the tree. Tommy is a great person and I am proud to call him my friend. Bobby |

I couldn't agree more! The new 'Big Three' for me are: Buck Reid, Randy Beavers and Tommy White.
These guys inspire me every time I listen to them play.
We're lucky to have them!

| The only reason I even watch the Grand Ole Opry reruns is to watch Tommy play. Sometimes I get lucky and catch some other good steel players on there also. |

One of the best things about Tommy, is that he is as genuine nice a guy as he is a monster player!!! Tommy is definitely one of the greatest ever to play the pedal steel guitar!

It's very nice to see the responses by so
many musicians; to the steel guitar playing
of Tommy White. --- I have the very dubious
pleasure of having been among the very 1st steel players to have been "SKUNKED" by a
young man approximately (12) years old.
I'm proud to have been his friend for
these many years.

| Rabbit, do you ever hear from Russell?? He played my guitar at our church a couple of years ago, and I'll never forget it. |
