Do you hear them? My living room is a cricket serenade at this point...bought 25 yesterday to feed to the pair of leopard gecko lizards that my dear boys have as pets.
Man, you're lucky not to be English. Being English sucks right now. On the behalf of Britain I'd like to apologise for inflicting Ed Sheeran on the rest of the world. 😢😢
@@Peterbrendanalbert - debauchery betters blandness in my book buddy. I've got two teenage daughters too. I'm not always successful in my attempts but as best I can I try to steer them towards music that has some attitude, some soul and has something to say. Sheeran's only talent as far as I can perceive is to be inoffensive. Unfortunately music that doesn't ruffle feathers is all the rage here in the UK, hence why Ed's become successful. In England we're a million miles away from that golden era when Bowie, The Beatles and The Stones gave us something to be musically proud of.
Didn’t hear the crickets, barely saw the eye on my little computer screen. Just heard a fine uncle speak his passion for music. …. Along the lines of England and prog, I would love to see Toyah and Robert do a show from Tom’s kitchen and Uncle Larry do one from their kitchen.
I've heard that the definition of a true gentleman is someone who knows how to play the trombone but chooses not to. You are a gift Tom. All shall be well.
Thank you so much for the very kind words about my PAF book! I'm honored! (James Finnerty, here). "The Sound Heard Round The World" is a favorite of mine, as well. Nacho's "Pinecaster" book series is also excellent for early Fender guitars.
Uncle Larry, I'm super grateful for all you do with this channel. You don't have to share your expertise, experience, your well-informed thoughts on music with the world but you do so generously and in such a personable way. No need to apologize for the state of your healing face; we're just glad to see ya.
man, I am a California Irish white guy and spent my life outdoors, had lots of that skin problem shit,....annually they cut me or freeze me, lol....but I have found, seriously, that poulstices of chamomille flower doubles the cure time...those honking ten to 12 day scars will fall off in a week...nice channel, thanks
Regarding 4:03, you don't have to apologize for showing your face after the surgery, I'm grateful that you still took the time to record this video (and probably all the rest of the homeskoolers as well) and I really hope that everything is and will be ok with the recovery and with all that stuff Uncle Larry!
I had Basal cell cancer over on my right temple at age 36 which was last year. Let’s just be thankful it’s the kind that can be taken out with surgery. I was pretty self conscious about the stitches and subsequent scar, but as we get older the scars matter less and less. Glad you are still making videos.
Hey Tom- Super channel. Great pickin’, great interviews. Sorry about your head but I know you’ll heal up just fine. Gives you that cool pirate look. Just remember we’d all love you even if you couldn’t play a lick. Thanks for all of this👍🏻
Praying for complete healing and recovery. All the best, and thanks for another one. I’ve learned in guitar playing that there is always someone better at playing, and always someone not as good.
Buk, you've made a huge impact on all of us gitpickers. You've got a bunch of folks pulling for you. Thanks for all your advice. I'm sure you realize you've got a tribe, and there's a bunch of folks here that are willing to help. Get well, and stay positive
I love the Mike Doyle Marshall book, also the old A.R. Duchossior Fender and Gibson books are great. Your positivity always shines through.You'll heal up and be good as new, I'm going on 4 years clean, God bless the doctors.
What a beautiful, chesty voice that Harmony has! And some truly lovely open voiced chords...man that was a tonic to listen to! Only the very best wishes for you on the carcinoma follow-up. You're an anchor for so many of us!
First of all, chicks dig scars. Second, your channel gave a lot of us something to look forward to during lockdown. If there is anything any or all of us can do to help, please dont hesitate. We gotcha Unc. Heal up.
UL - whenever I hear an alternate tuning on your channel, I have to figure it out. This is what you are teaching us. Know the details. Concentrate. You gave this one away (open G) and then taught us more on top of that. Incredible. Thanks again.
We are so lucky to have thsuch a man share his wealth of wisdom and insights , as just another hacker I feel validated by his words and his spirit, I literally luv this guy Let’s Go !!
All we can say is “we love you!” Through thick and thin. And I know if you ever needed help with anything , people would get in line to lend a hand. You have made a lot of friends uncle Larry, and I think we are the real kind….. love you uncle Larry
I once had like 20 skin cancers removed at the same time, man you know I was hurting,a few at a time isn't bad, but I know what you going through,take care Tom.
Hey Tom, I’m so glad you’re ok. I had a brush with “C” back in 96. I hope you know, I mean really know in your knower what it means to us as fans viewers bringing us into the fold and sharing your knowledge and soul. I know it’s special to me.Thank you brother!🎸
Crack on Tom , just keep Keeping on like a bird that flew as Bob Dylan said , it will all heal up and come good, This channel is a life blood for so many of us all around the world it really is that, I listen to this in London when I’m driving and I’m sure there’s Cats like me listening all over the planet 🌎. listening in their break time ..

easy for me to say something. the homeskoolers have expressed themselves in a way that makes me proud to be a part of what little tommy created for all to see and hear so often. 🤟🎸
Your givingness has impacted everyone's livingness, Heal Soon and Thank You for investing your precious time improving the airwaves on this little blue marble.
Sheesh, I thought ya got in a scrape somewhere. Ha! Bless you, T. You got this. I listened to your playing in the intro and I struggle to say how deeply I am moved every time I listen to your music. My heart swells, my brain sparks, and I am happy. Every time. Thank you, Tom. Heal up quick.
Hey Tom, big floppy sailing hats for the rest of your life dude! I am and will be praying to Jesus for your complete recovery!!! Many of us literally LOVE YOU & want to keep watching you playing & teaching us (of course with all the fun “Behind the scenes” stuff. God bless you & your family Boss!!!
"It's like walkin into somebody's mouth..." LOL!! Friggin hilarious Unc! Heal fast my friend! Keepin ya in my prayers....Not a big horn fan either, but Chet Baker's "Let's Get Lost" is a masterpiece...he don't sound like he's strugglin at all...
It's been a rough week for me here in Oregon too...had to cancel on a gig for the first time ever after being thrust into 24/7 care of my Mom suffering from dementia. I'm glad to see you this morning! Cheers Tom!!
Just wanted to express my respect and admiration of the care you are giving. Had to do the same for my departed dad and more recently the long fight with brain disease with my wife who died from a stroke this last year. Dropped everything and cared for them feeding and doing all the unsung things a caregiver does. Esther never spent one day in a nursing home. I would do it all over again no regrets about it whatsoever. Hug em while you can; the music will wait. Much respect and skoolin support to you - it’s worse than any tear jerker movie when you are living it but love prevails. Hope it gets better my friend ✝️ reach out to the skool and we will be there to support you brutha.
Had skin cancer last year. I had three surgeries and they were gearing me up for chemo as the last surgery I had to have on the spot as it was severe and spreadable but got the best Christmas gift ever just before Christmas saying I was cancer free. Keep on fighting man!
Glad you had that taken care of! Sorry you have to go through all this I hope it isn’t to painful! Hello! mind looking at you?! Not one bit just hope it doesn’t hurt!! You’ve got one of those faces that belongs in films! Full of character and charm! Not to mention what you bring us on such a regular basis! Your generosity is legendary! Thank you!
Tom really has a way of making sunshine on the cloudiest of days; great acoustic sounds. Great example for the whole skool how he plows on despite adversity putting his soul into everything he does-and happy to share with everybody- pretty damm rare in this dog eat dog world 🌎 especially the entertainment business. 💪🎸
@501chorusecho it just seems between gold foil,Thunderbird ,mini humbuckers, gibson p90s it's a little weird. You're the best!! I know you hear this all the time, but you really have made a difference in my life. Please don't be creeped out hahahaha
I'd just like to thank you for taking your time to play your music. OUCH! I just got to the part in the your video where you showed your surgery. Take my first sentence and times it by 100! You're an amazing human❤
As I continued to watch your guitar headstock looked too familiar. I just bought a sSovereign 1260. Nice but doors are blown off compared to that 1266. I picked mine up at a garage sale. I'm old and frugal but would love to know if it's possible for his magic to pull that kind of voice out of this one? Either way... I'm feeling pretty lucky to snag her just as she is.
Haven't written a comment on here before, but wanted to send you some love and hopes for a fast recovery. Your videos are a gift and we're very grateful for that. No one cares what you look like 😊, we're here for the wisdom and the tunes 🎵
I almost spit my drink out when you said, "t'slike walkin into somebody's mouth" 😂 Tom you are such an inspiration. I hope to see you live here soon 👏👏🔥🙌
Glad your surgery went well Tom, nice to know you’re ok. When I see another new video show up in my feed I know my day is getting a little bit better. 👌 You truly are a important part of our lives. Keep doing what you’re doing. Nobody does it better.
You have a great spirit and sense of humor, Uncle Larry. I think those are key ingredients to healing. Pretty sure I speak for everyone here when I say we ain't done with you, so get comfortable, you're not going anywhere soon.
