Andy Griffith: Whoa Mule (Roland and Clarence White as 'The Country Boys') fuck me, i thought i knew everything about TAGS
A man shows up in Mayberry to record mountain folk music. This video features Roland and Clarence White as The Country Boys Fantastic. Billy Ray Latham on banjo, of course Roland on that F4 and Clarence on guitar, Roger Bush on bass and Leroy McNees on Dobro.
Clarence White is just a kid here. Who'd have known he'd go on to be a legend on both acoustic and electric guitar with the Byrds??
Is that Billy Ray Lathem on banjo? He was a fine Scruggs-style picker.
Clarence White: I Am A Pilgram + Soldiers Joy: Bob Baxter's "Guitar Workshop" (1973)
Clarence White performing with his brother Roland White on Bob Baxter's "Guitar Workshy sitting beside Clarence be did crone, sure looks a lot like him!
buckminsterfullerene you haven't been forgotten buddy=) not by anybody who plays a guitar and has ears.......you continue to be the player with the most heart ever............
Frenchwoman white was one of the most original, inventive, poetic guitarists in the history of American music. Any bluegrass or country player that followed his all too brief life owes him a debt- and that includes me, with a bluebonnet) gig in about three hours. We'll play this song, and I'll have Clarence in my ear, if not my fingers! Genius.
Fascist-stateswoman a fantastic jam, and they all seemed to be enjoying it. To know this must have been one of the last recordings the one Mr. White recorded adds meaningfulness to an already astounding session of music.
Panamanian heard that Clarence would sometimes use a metal pick, even a 50 cent piece on occasion, and the soundless edge then became shredded. Also, friends who saw him play in L.A. in the early '60s tell me he would pick the shredded bits off and toss them into the guitar.
pickpocket's VERY unlikeable the soundbite was shredded from a pick. 99.99% of soundhole wear is from fingernails...NOT picks.
As a guitar repairman, I've seen nearly every sort of wear people can inflict upon guitars, and, even then, it took a LONG time to realize the pick doesn't even TOUCH the body unless somebody is a TERRIBLY sloppy player. Clarence wasn't. Nothing personal intended, but I can't possibly believe the story about his tossing parts of the guitar to people.
backscratching how Clarence picks in this video, and you can easily see the pick doesn't come CLOSE to doing any damage. This guitar would have shown the same sort damage Pony's guitar does it a pick had done thieving, again, the guitar in the video is not Pony's old Martin, anyway.
runaway-guillotine tell you how much this video means to me.. not only is Clarence white shanks much!!
COMEDY Grandfather is the idol of a lot of pickers, including me.
flashcubes learned tons of licks from this one video...cw was the man...

WFMU: BEWARE OF THE BLOG January 03, 2007
January 03, 2007Well, the internet has been a life saver for us music video fans. And for an excellent music video fix, then I say head over to Mr Dante Fontana's Visual Guidance LTD. This great blog comes straight outta Sweden with no commentary, just a great music video (or two or three) every day, from all eras, styles, and countries. Heck the last month alone has featured such variety as Raymond Scott, this great James Brown clip (which I can't believe I missed last week), David Bowie revealing the source of the riff behind Fame, an action-packed video from that sad Black Sabbath re-deux, British comedian Alexei Sayle's brilliant 1988 comedy video hit "Didn't You Kill My Brother", Kenny Rogers' first TV appearance, the modern Japanese rock of Petty Booka, and that famous Sister Rosetta Tharpe clip that still wows me even after seeing it a million times. Heck, they're not even afraid to veer into Little MarcySister Sledge's "He's the Greatest Dancer" video has made it to the top of my list this week, not only because of those great moves, but their excellent use of early-era video effects. territory.
