I love this clip! I was there when Bresh called Tommy up to join him for a number. Tommy and I had spent the afternoon working on some new arrangements. World Music Nashville is about 1/2 mile from my house and I had told Bresh we might drop by. Other than that, what you see is how it was. Except for one detail… You're missing the rest of Bresh's show. Catch him in California if you get the chance.
And the next time Tommy's in town, we'll play a few tunes and then look for more fun. Nashville… the Musical City.

Two of the most entertaining finger style guitarists on the planet - playing together. It can't get any better than that, John. You can see the mutual admiration between them, as well. I just caught Tommy at Fur Peace Ranch in south-eastern Ohio (Pomeroy, OH) in their very small venue this past Sunday - WOWOWOW - Tommy up close and personal! And, we had Bresh up to the McConnell Arts Center here in Columbus a few weeks ago. Unbelievable talents - both of them. Two wives who had to be "dragged" to Bresh's concert went wild when they heard him play - and, entertain. Where they both said they wouldn't have walked across the street to hear him, initially - they both would drive all the way to Nashville to hear him, afterwards. Definitely worth any long drive to see him.
