Thank you for writing in reply to my post; this arrangement is very much indicative of the music Tom made, and still plays I imagine. He played this arrangement for me perhaps nearly 20 years ago. We shared music of all sorts, back when we were kids. Tom had a love of the guitar since I met him nearly 40 years ago. He was my Best Man, at my wedding, in 1990, and I moved out of State, shortly after. We visited a few times, in the early 90's; then we grew apart. He's always been an inspiration.
really appreciate you sharing some of your story....i hope you can re-connect some day and if so please let him know he has a fan in me!! I will continue to play and share this piece - your friend, dale.
ps--your playing this arrangement of Silent Night makes me feel like I still have a small piece of my friend here with me now. It is very heart rending, but I am glad to have this piece to hold onto. Thank you for sharing this.
Tom Gannaway was my best friend, growing up. He played this arrangement of Silent Night for me, one of the last times we were visiting. I was _always_ in awe of his guitar playing. I have lost touch with him, and miss him dearly.
this is a very special post and i greatly appreciate you sharing your story - i am such a fan of this arrangement and have enjoyed playing it for years now! He is certainly an amazing guitarist and i find myself wishing i had more of his music to enjoy.
sure appreciate you watching - i just finished watching several of your videos and so enjoyed your great playing! You have a terrific channel - all the best!
I'd love to know where you learned all this stuff. I've been at it a long time too, and I'd love to find someone who could teach me the fingerings and jazz style chords you use.
That was gorgeous (as have been all the others). Reminded me of Tommy E's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
I love your choice of tones. I am looking at buying a new acoustic guitar ...but am having a hard time. Santa Cruz's H13 blew my mind ...but there's also some Goodall's and Lowden's that have wowed me. I noticed you're into Collins. Any particular reasons?
Whether or not you want to answer, I really admire your playing. I wish I could get it on my iPod! :)
hello, i sure appreciate your kind words and thanks for taking time to watch and comment! All the guitars you mentioned are great guitars in my book. I bought my 1st Collings in 1987 and have been hooked ever since. If you get a chance play one and see what you think.
Sounds beautiful! Im working on my own version of silent right now, hopefully its ready in time to play for christmas :).. did you just play this by ear or did you find a tab?
Awesome arrangement and performance! And, I love your F hole guitar! What kind is it? Sounds really good.....great tone and resonance! Beautiful harmonic ending! Thank you for sharing this one Dale! 5 big fat stars my friend! -Derek
There will be a great christmas eve in your house when you play all those wonderful guitar arrangements, Dale. Much fun to watch and listen, my friend.
That made me feel peaceful. It's never to early for Christmas songs. I cannot say enough good things about your song choices and playing. It's absolutely wonderful to listen to your playing.
how lovely you sound. i always love the combined electric and acoustic sound. you get better all the time. i'm still trying to comment on your three guitar sounds. i'll have to get back to you on that one.
hello friend! It is going great and it is so nice to hear from you guys. Hope each of is doing wonderful and Midnight is living the great do life! Sure appreciate you watching - thanks for your kind words!
I will be happy to let him know he has inspired others, should I ever re-connect with him. Best wishes to you, also,
your friend in music!
