Roland and his younger brother Clarence White formed a bluegrass band, the Kentucky Colonels, back in '62. Very progressive. Clarence was a superb guitarist who went on to be a prominent session man and also played with the Byrds.

[Dpkll5]

Who's Roland,

[pepewiwi]

Great!!!!!!!!!

[MartinGuitarFan]

I pretty sure the fiddle player is a guy named Hoot Hester...I played with him a few times. He played on Nashville Now and several other shows. He plays on the Opry now.

[backbeat64]

yes it's Hoot... nice sweater huh?

[CadillacL]

Ah yes, Hoot Hester. TNN was awesome wasn't it??

[RonBrickey]

[susiakasinead]

[mitnostrebo]

Excellent!

How Sam and Pat took a song as mundane as Beaumont Rag and turned it into a masterpiece is incredible.

[budman2xxx]

don't think there any video around but the recording of Clarence White doing this tune, he called it julius finkbines rag is. CW played circles around this version.

[Dugby9]

Thanks for the input. I'll be sure to check out some of Clarence's playing.

I think Roland White played with him in that number. If your not familiar with Roland you should check him out he's a sick mando player. He never really got a lot of attention since he was the twin of Clarence. Both were and are great.

[phriendlyphool]

I don't think Roland was or is that great...not saying he's bad but there are much better mandolin players out there

[millergd00]

I think for a traditional picker he's pretty darn good. But, if your looking for someone progressive than no, he's not your man.

[phriendlyphool]

I guess but I'd still rather listen to Bill or Ricky Skaggs or Doyle Lawson or even someone like Mike Compton

[millergd00]

Yeah, honestly I guess the only reason I regard Roland so highly is because I accredit him for teaching me what I know on mando.

[kattsas]

Roland white is not a twin to Clarence he is the older of the two.

[banjovi1953]

Sam is da king!!!

[rarebasses]

Pat's so d*mn cool, and Sam is just da bomb! lol
