      Aren't we lucky that Tom does these? Where else do we get a glimpse into this world and these amazing cats at work?

    Just for the record…there are many more guys i could have mentioned that are great nashville utility session guys…you know how it is when someone asks you whats a good restaurant and you suddenly can’t think of any…we didn’t even mention jedd hughes or danny rader…and there are many others…

      Keep on Schoolin' Tom... and thanks for introducing us to these previously unknown players. Your influence is powerful and the stories are priceless! Mike Johnson on steel is another killer player and from my hometown of Montgomery, Al. You probably know him too!

      These are like the guys who build the houses, buildings, roads and bridges around us- we use these things everyday, but hardly ever give a thought to those that built them. Thanks Tommy for bringing these working guys out into the light.

    When Tom said “It’s a cool way to make a livin isn’t it” - the way his face changed and lit up says it all.

    Everyone of these cats got the goods yet have as much humility as ability and undeniable respect for their craft. Tom you deserve a humanitarian award for bringing these treasures to light without asking anything in return, especially during these trying times.

    All the people in these vids seem to be so humble and nice. Giving me great vibes.

    An abundance of great musicians in Upstate NY. Like Cleveland, the weather is shitty and we were stuck inside to woodshed.

    • @jazzbluesrock21
      @jazzbluesrock21 Před 2 lety

      Agree 100% . Bands/musicians compete like it is a sport in Upstate too. And competition creates innovation. Econ 101

    Beautiful playing. I think a lot of people have stepped back and taken a look at work during the pandemic...... And decided to do something else. Any individual who is lucky enough to do something they truly love (even though there are the inevitable ups and downs), is really blessed. Thanks Todd/Tom

    As great as that guitar sounds over your iPhone, I can only imagine how it sounds in person. Glad you found your passion again. Burn out is real in anything you do. Sometimes it is good to chill out and recalibrate. Then you find you’re on a whole other level.

    Tom! It’s so true that to be able to do what you love as a job is a gift. Many people go through life and never experience satisfaction and love of what they do. You sharing these glimpses into “a day in the life” is a wonderful thing for all of us and maybe even motivating for some to rethink our life’s path. Deep Thoughts by ….
