Buc McMaster Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) For those that don't know the tune............... Those Who Wait This is beyond my imagination. Edited July 27, 2020 by Buc McMaster Quote
MissouriPicker Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 That is an awesome video! Never heard this before. The guy truly is one of the Masters. His style is very human and expressive. This song is definitely in the old “easy listening” genre, but judging by the title and how he plays it, I think it’s intended to be more than easy-on-the-ears. For me, his playing and this song is very relaxing and offers hope.. Without words he writes a story, that to me says “Be patient! Take your time! Keep your eyes on your goal! Stay positive! Wait, give it time! If it’s worthwhile, it’s worth waiting for.” That’s how I kind of interpret what the song title and his expressive style are telling me. “Those Who Wait”——-waiting for a job you want, waiting for love, waiting for a son/daughter in the army, or as Crystal Gayle would say, “Waiting For The Times To Get Better.”........Sweet, sweet song that speaks volumes without saying a word.....On a sad note—-ask someone on the street about Tommy and they’ll say, “Who?” Quote
Sgt. Pepper Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I got tickets to see him. It was originally supposed to be in April or May, then postponed to September, now postponed to May 2021. So never. Quote

MorrisrownSal Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) I saw him on LBI in New Jersey (Starlight Theater) in October 2012... before Hurricane Sandy. There were perhaps 40 people who showed. Tommy knew the owners well, and liked playing the venue for their benefit. I was 15 feet away as my buddy and I watched him, with the flu, slay it for two hours. he is an amazing talent, and he is warm and friendly. Oh I will ever attempt a TE song... ha Edited July 28, 2020 by Salfromchatham Quote
kidblast Posted July 28, 2020 Author Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Tommy is an amazing talent, and from all the vids I've seen of this guy, he's a real down to earth, very likable guy. I would love to got to one of his shows. Not my first rodeo with learning pieces like this. If you break things it down, and focus on one part at a time, it takes time at first, but it does make sense if you stay with it. But it seems like this one is going to be brutal! The whole Patience thing that Larry mentioned is apropos for this kind of endeavor. Buc thx for the link, I realized after I posted that I forgot to do that,... Edited July 28, 2020 by kidblast Quote
uncle fester Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Nice KB, I've got a couple of those multi year efforts going. I just started working on the solo for SRVs Mary Had a Little Lamb... this will be a 2 year effort for myself anyways but there's a slew of new licks etc... I'm looking forward to conquering - enjoy your TE journey, maybe we can encourage a clip or two as you progress. Quote

Bogart (his name) was riding with the angels on this one because if he had come straight down on the bottom of the window frames he would have impaled himself on the jagged glass Quote

A tan / brown Shepard, We had a tough time naming this guy so he was just known as Hey You for a. while. Usually we go with a name of a President from the state we are in. So in Kansas it was Ike and our first dog here in Ohio got tagged with McKinley or Mac for short. With this guy though we decided to go a different route. Early on he started to figure he was the toughest S.O.B. in the valley. So we decided to give him the ultimate tough guy name. Edited July 28, 2020 by zombywoof Quote
