It makes no mention of Merle Travis having a son. Luckyoldsun May 25, am. Apparently Thom Bresh also established a relationship with Merle Travis and learned guitar from him. Big Tex May 25, pm. Kevin Smith May 25, pm. It will be available later this year, likely November. I caught Deke playing an event this past weekend in Nashville.

Deke researched this book for several years and he interviewed members of the family extensively. I wouldnt doubt that Deke may have interviewed Thom. Kevin Varnell May 25, pm. I had opportunity to attend C. Several years ago. Was fortunate enough to get a semi private show from Thom. His imitation of Jerry Reed really blew me away. Such a nice guy.

Thom was a personal friend of the Valuzat Brothers who owned the property and they invited him to perform but the guy who booked the acts and prepared the show schedule refused to add Thom to the list as Thom could be crude and coarse in his banter and this was a family event. The Main Stage circus tent was next to the food court and I was hanging around after the last scheduled acts were finished for the day when I heard this amazing guitar picking coming from inside the dark tent.

I wandered in out of curiosity and there were Thom and Nokie playing together to a handful of curious people like me. The audience kept requesting Merle Travis songs Thom just referred to him as Travis and Thom seemed genuinely surprised by that but performed the songs if he could remember them. Man could that guy pick! In Tex Williams, the former lead singer for the Spade Cooley Band, and Merle were friends and Tex came over one afternoon begging Merle who had a busy day scheduled to quickly write him a song for a recording session that was scheduled for the next day.

The rest, as they say, is history. Susan Meir May 27, pm. Thom was a wonderful man, kind loving giving! We met Thom at a very young age when he was with Lane Brody and continued being raised with him in our family…. Lloyd Ellis was incredible. I loved the rhythm section before he even sang. That rhythm section is what I do. I love Paul McCartney.

I do things on guitar that McCartney did on piano. I found it because tone and expression are what people get by rolling all their influences together and seeing what comes out, what comes natural to you, and that essence becomes your sound. It's not a matter of the guitar strings or the pickups. It's influences and your playing. Travis wouldn't show me anything.

He let me set his tone and I'd watch him play. When I was in my 20s, he said, "We need to get together and go over these songs so that we can do duets; otherwise, the harmony parts won't work. You have to make your own style. I hear guitarists argue about intricate things that Chet did. Who cares? Listen to it, figure it out, play it yourself and make it your own!
