First time I've seen & heard a fiddle played from a barber's chair. I can almost smell the bay rum. Tommy was indeed one of the OT greats. Even after his death, he continues to awe and inspire.
I was 11 yrs old when this video was made and am soo thankful for those responsible for preserving media of legendary musicians. I love listening and watching videos of those that preserved the true country sound. Thank you sooo much for posting this video
LOVE this video. at 83, tommy was still one of the best fiddlers ever. i was so grateful to have met tommy in 1984 before he died. we had a lovely talk over a plate of hi-test beans.
Uncle Dave Macon was discovered in a barber shop.
I've never seen this video before! Sure makes me miss Tommy. And damn fine banjo playing, David!
Bill's Barber Shop (since renamed) is at the intersection of Toast Road and S. Franklin Rd. in Mount Airy, NC. About 2 miles north of Tommy's home, which stands on the north corner of S. Franklin Rd. and Summit Drive.
These videos that David did are national treasures, too. Thanks, David! (And who plays better claw than David?)
man he comes alive when he plays bluegrass !!!
I sure would like to know what tuning his fiddle was in. This is a great video of two masters of old timey.
Got many a haircut there with my papa when I was little. Sure miss them good ole days. Last time I got a haircut there it was $4.00 around 1992! Tommy bought his fiddle off my 3rd great uncle Houston Moore in around 1914.
@TheGhost5600 According to Brad Leftwich's "Old time fiddle - round peak style" Tommy played this in AEAE tuning.
Wish they did a LP or something!
AEAE would be what he tuned in for the one.
Hey David, you wore the same hat when I met you at Tommy's.
I LOVED this show on TNN, I never missed an episode. Is any of the
whole episodes on here?
scottstanton, this isn't bluegrass, it's old-time, which is what Bluegrass came out of..it's different..Toast and Mt. Airy are very cool towns..as was ol' Tommy..Thanks for posing..
Wonder where that was filmed. It's a great tune, but none of the other fellows in the barber chairs were tapping their feet. Hmmm. Must have thought the fiddle and banjer was devil music. Great fiddlin' by the late Tommy Jarrell. Ol Dave ain't to shabby on that fretless five string either.
