Roland White, Eric White, Clarence White Home Movie 1958

[DanStar707]

So wonderful to find this! It's been a long time..........

[theguitarchi]

Like the song, the musicianship and the home movie. Typical American family of the 50's, enjoying life and playing Traditional American music. A lot less complicated time. Really like this.

[shademonger13]

i hate to be a colonels/white brothers noob, but what song is this? :P

[v2thaness]

wow Eric White is my papa..its crazy the things you can find on the internet

[TruegrassBoy]

Clarence - gentle soul - you live on in our hearts.

[southernstar9]

I'll anxiously await the release of that album on CD. One of my all-time favorites...thanks for doing that!

[Monukkha]

This video made my day! Thanks so much for sharing this with the rest of the world.

[fredquimbythe23rd]

An advice with reference to MattyNorthstar's post.. This isn't the version of 'Last thing on my mind' that is on the Silver Meteor album, which I have.

That recording features Clarence playing flatpick guitar and singing solo with no other accompaniment.

It is a great track; as is this one too!

Clarence's death was without doubt one of American music's most tragic and senseless losses.

[BRUMBANJA]

LOVIN IT,GONNA SUGGEST THIS TUNE FOR MY BAND,KILLER

[BlindTom61]

My friend Gene Parsons brought me to Clarence's music. It was one of the greatest gifts in my life.

[Brockcaster]

This not only tugs on the guitar/mandolin strings, it tugs on the heart strings! Filmed about a year before I was born, ya'll have influenced so many generations of musicians. Thanks for sharing.

[blindrunkwilly]

Thanks for posting this piece of history. I never knew Clarence but he taught me well. He lives on in our hearts.

[CFMD28]

This is a true treasure. Puts a true face on an obviously loving family.

[TruegrassBoy]

Wow! What a great film! Really puts a human face on the White Brothers and their kin. Thanks for posting - brings back a lot of memories.

Thank You so much for posting this on the internet. Would write more yet lost for words.

Please let us know when the CD is re released.

[nashvillebanjo]

In reply to doctrDave, Johnny Olesh had the original film transferred to VHS videotape and sent it to us years ago. Recently I converted it to digital using the inexpensive Diamond Multimedia One-Touch video capture interface and provided software. - Diane

[EssyJ1979]

Thank you so much for sharing this very heart felt piece of family history.

Much love from Australia..

[nashvillebanjo]

The recording of Last Thing On My Mind is from the White Brothers' Live in Sweden recording, which we plan to re-release on CD this year. - Diane and Roland

[ressalg]

Thanks. That's a great song, recorded by numerous artists, and that's without a doubt the best version I've ever heard.

[ressalg]

Anyone know whose recording this version of "Last Thing On My Mind" is?

[1969mets]

Truly extraordinary. This is why God made the Internet. Thanks for sharing...

[doctrDave]

Thanks, Roland, this is awesome. The quality of the transfer from 8mm to digital is really great! Who did it?

[kafkaesque123]

Heartwarming! Seeing film footage of Clarence and Roland that far back is like seeing film of Lennon and McCartney's first meeting. We're so lucky to have this historical document. Many thanks!

[courtesyofdickboak]

They really put the Jonas Bros to shame! LOL

[alisterhrae]

Million thanks for this! Had me it tears.

The combination of the sad Tom Paxton song and the shots of Clarence brought me to tears.

Always does for me too ; /........

[MikeB43]

The circle will not be unbroken as long as we remember those in our past that had so much of an impact on our future.
