520. Clarence White / Alabama Jubilee

[@HungryH1951]

Marvelous! Anything that Clarence White does is top drawer. And the musicians that play with him are always some of the very best. We lost him way too soon.

[@luckyone8793]

Such talent...another sad loss. What wonderful memories you have & thanks again for sharing!

[@austenrobinson2747]

Probably the best flat picker to ever live. Taken from us way to early.

[@KristopherCraig]

Thanks for saying hello before your busy day. And f course thanks for the music.

[@hans-christiantraute1914]

Yes, this is really amazing. He is sooo busy and yet he takes his time to make another video for us non-clubhouse-members...🙏

[@krisscanlon4051]

Lee, thank you for the human connection...some of us due to whatever can't get that everyday so a heartfelt thank you from me 😊

[@MrErikholmberg]

Good morning can’t wait to see your documentary!

[@Linda-wk9ue]

Ahhh, bluegrass music. Being from KY this is the music we were introduced to on AM radio. Then we got FM stations and a new world opened. I still find myself pulling up some bluegrass to 'take me home' Have a great day everyone!

[@j.dragon651]

I saw Clarence three times. Best guitarist I ever saw and I have seen and played with a lot of them. Parsons was a machinist who brought Clarence's B bender to fruition. I am a guitar player and a machinist. I had a good email conversation with Gene one time about it.

[@kimhebert9905]

Have good day🎶🎶

[@Guitarwizzard1833]

Clarence White and Tony Rice. All one needs when it comes to the acoustic guitar.

[@FreedomRock44]

Thanks for the behind the scenes yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ditchgator1]

Looking forward to seeing and hearing new material 👍😎 Just took the Tele out last night. It rings true and long and growls so well....and played some of Clarences stuff👍😎 I know, I know...but just be careful out there👍 👍😎❤🖖 Love brother

[@eaglerayrob]

My goodness that was some fantastic playing all around. Clarence was one of the best flatpickers ever. Clarence and Doc Watson both were masters at the economy of motion, I would watch them play and be mesmerized at how their left hand would look like it was barely moving yet all of these beautiful notes were flowing from their guitar. I'm so glad Clarence left us with these recordings. RIP Clarence.

[@6FIV]

Merci beaucoup for sharing Sir. Good luck for the movie. Have a great day and take care 🎸.

[@patgallo2752]

Can't wait to see the documentary. Sorry I had to miss the livestream today. My Tuesdays are getting busy.

[@donaldmeehan1631]

Awesome !!!! Blue Grass is so much like jazz you get it or you don't like any music it is about the groove and the feeling it brings to your heart and soul. Thanks Lee for expanding our listening pleasure again

[@guitarxc1]

Hello Leland ! Thank you ! Clarence White a fantastic player R.I.P. ! Ciao from milano italy ! Take care

[@kennonmoen4424]

That’s one heck of a good way to get your day started-makes you want to get up and get moving. And the classic bass line, flawlessly executed, gives the song extra momentum. Thanks for taking the time to pop in and say hi! Stay safe and stay well!

[@eugeniosteve30]

This jazz-rock newgrass country style is entered in the story of acoustic world music. Alabama Jubilee is also performed with his guitar by the singer Jerry Reed. Great music for our listening.

[@anncaswell8569]

Evening Leland and everybody. Hope everybody is ok.

[@ChefJamesRusk]

Clarence was such an inspiration to me as we all used to go at place called BJs and other places around the valley and watch ,listen...and pick....very good times...bluegrass days Tragedy hits ,such a loss.....those days out in the desert..were never quite the same....I did,by a chance acquire on a fix and borrow ,one of the instruments involved....it’s a small 5 string birds eye maple banjo made in 1894 in Philadelphia...with a broken neck...beautiful instrument that needed repair....just so happened RexBogue had a workshop up in lake Hughes so I took it him...and thankfully he fixed it ...so I spent most of that year playing it before taking it back.......it is a magic banjo.And was happy to get it repaired.....it’s one of those things that was so special and hope it’s still with the family......

[@gustavoviveros8394]

Thanks Lee 👍🏻

[@douglasdegraff8335]

Lee, I was fortunate enough to see Clarence, Skip, Gene, and Roger as the BYRDS in 1970 at a auditorium up here in Green Bay, WI and just kinda walked over by Clarence and was frozen, standing there and watching him play his Tele and thinking I heard a pedal steel sound come from somewhere. It was fascinating. Never forget it. Then we lost Clarence. RIP Clarence. Still remember seeing him on the Andy Griffith show once. Just Great stuff that still runs through my brain. Thanks Lee and Good Morning Maureen and the boys. Have fun today! Doug

[@dmlevitt]

great info and what a concert to see in 1970. I will have to find Clarence on the Andy Griffin Show. that sounds fantastic.

[@williamreifsnyder3557]

What venue in GB? I’m in Door County.

[@sethcashman1011]

Glad the "Algonquin Round Table" went well yesterday. 😄 Cannot tell you how much I'm looking forward to this film.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

You NAILED it, Seth! The Algonquin Round Table. Perfect! Not everyone will know that reference, but it’s spot on.

[@sethcashman1011]

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 hahaha, it was my very first thought! Used to go to the hotel often (I’m about a ten-minute walk from there in NYC) to see performances at the Oak Room before it closed, so I’m well-acquainted with its history.

[@yesfan951]

Hell yeah! I was listening to Byrds "Untitled" and "Ballad of Easy Rider" at work today! Clarence was a guitar hero gone too soon, may he RIP

[@enidsnarb]

Wow! Thank You as always !!! I knew this Norwegian fiddle playing girl who took me to see the Berline Crary Hickman trio at a bar in Pomona in 79 or 80 . After the show she grabbed me and we chased them to a Bobs Big Boy up the street where they were just trying to get some peace . She was a looker , they said please sit down , I was embarrassed , she said ; " this is my friend Henry and he is a great guitar player " ! They were so kind and gracious ,I can never forget it and I love their playing. Man O man I want to get my own B Bender someday! Sure lost one of the greatest players back then !

[@FreedomRock44]

Lee you must have loved to play on this one.......Very quick beat and lots of changes!!!!!!!

[@henrikbas1]

Hi lee there is some Rockabille in it. Great 😀

[@ianbailey8778]

Great song! One of the best fiddle songs

[@louisewilliams8480]

Good Afternoon Leland and friends 👋

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

Thanks for another brilliant clubhouse livestream this afternoon. It was outstanding. Wow, the picking genius is insane on this tune - so amazing.

[@carlmally6292]

Roland White is still around and still a great mandolin picker. I got to meet and have breakfast with him about five years ago. Just a nice person all around.

[@rikconverse8726]

Loved Clarence's work! Loved The Kentucky Colonels and The Country Gazette! All those cats were so good and gave me a real appreciation for Bluegrass. And thanks to The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band for opening the door to perception of Bluegrass way back in the Uncle Charlie days!

[@dmlevitt]

thanks for those musical tips Rik, I will check out the Kentucky Cols and country gazette, see you at the clubhouse.

[@jboedecker]

I have always loved Clarence White and his unique guitar style! Lots of guys that came after him tried to imitate that sound.

[@JimFothergill]

Love it! Thanks!!!!

[@sethcashman1011]

I love the way the early morning light affects the contrast and color palette in that room. Just a thing visual artists tend to notice. Thanks for getting this one in today. It's definitely set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. See everyone in a few hours.

[@Ian-Steele]

That’s the kind of music that everyone must love. The skill in the playing is just magnificent. Thanks for this one Leland. See you tonight (3:00 pm your time, 11:00 pm in UK)

[@dmlevitt]

hey Ian, how many pints are you up at 11pm UK time when we begin the clubhouse? see you soon bud. cheers!!

[@Alchemyst53]

Midnight for me 😁. And work early in the morning. But wouldn’t miss it.

[@Ian-Steele]

@@dmlevitt A nice glass of Theakston’s Old Peculiar would do me nicely. I have a bottle in the fridge 🍺 😄

[@michaelmcgannon5588]

So many of us loved Clarence White. Lee, this was such a sweet surprise! Your comments on him were poignant. Thank you for including this in the series. Michael McGannon P.S. I'm a Parsons-White Stringbender player.

[@dbassman27]

Thanks for the wonderful tribute to Clarence. He is one of my favourite musicians. That version of the Byrds he was in with Gene and Skip was an awesome band.

[@Bobstern]

If the movie is half as good as The Wrecking Crew, it will be amazing. Looking forward to seeing it.

[@tobindoodle8901]

What a great tribute to a talented musician. Thank you for the Bluegrass and your positive vibes. Have a great night😉

[@zackman86]

This reminds me a lot of the first "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" album from The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. If you haven't listened to it before, I highly recommend it.

[@michaelvaladez6570]

All the great one who were loved for there uniqueness, wide eyes to the world leave all to soon..and sometimes tragically.Clarence White all to soon as when his talent was raising.Thank you for this honor of him.Best wishes for your documentary.Stay safe and be safe Leland.Shalom.

[@tylerbabiuk]

Lee! This channel has done me so much greatness in the last year. The immediate family has a song called “slippin and sliding” which is my favourite and it just bangs! Get the bass out and lay it down to that please on one video. Amen and respect to you! My dream to play with you one day.

When your schedule calms down can you do a extended discussion about Herman Matthews as well as bring up his playing with Greg Adams East Bay Soul band

[@Valvey789]

Marty Stuart still tours playing the original Clarence White B-Bender prototype. I'd be nervous going on the road with a guitar that valuable.

[@intuneorange]

Marty has or actually was given "Pops" Roebuck Staples Guitar .

[@charleswinokoor6023]

good pickin’

[@whodder06]

Thanks Leland for taking the time to provide the snippet! PS. for some reason, your hard drive is noisy.... microphone re-positioned?

[@edisonjohnson8638]

Hey Lee- I wished I had watched this before tuning into your Clubhouse later that day. Wonderful stuff! Big fan of Clarence as well as the rest of the pickers on that cut. Definitely got my foot tapping! Were you playing Frankenstein on that one or something else? Also wonder if Clarence was playing the Martin D-28 then that Tony Rice ended up acquiring?

[@philipc.776]

Hello, Lee. I love your channel and what you do for the music community in these troubled times. Keep up the great work. I am good friends with Vinny and Joey from Fodera Guitars. We all grew up together making music in Brooklyn, N.Y. I wanted to ask you if you play tracks on original songs. I write and produce all of my songs. Along with a few close friends from the sixties, we managed to humbly win a few best song awards at film and music festivals in four countries. My new song would benefit greatly with you on the track, if this is possible. If so, please let me know. We all would be extremely honored! Hoping you and family are well. Thank you for your time and consideration. Be well, Lee........Philip C.

[@DonSegien]

Lee and Byron 47 years later. Thanks for sharing Lee. What a treat to have you and Byron play on Kai’s video in 2020. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4i2d6CHrKeborM. Speaking of talent, Herb is widely known as a singer and a banjo player but he’s the best acoustic rhythm guitar player I’ve ever met.

[@kelleyjones2285]

Getting my second vaccine tomorrow, being totally honest here. I'm kinda scared, second guessing myself if I should. Pfizer, anybody have any adverse reactions to their second shot?

[@intuneorange]

Don't worry about the 2nd Pfizer shot Everyone I know has lived through it. People seem to have a little more of a reaction on the 2nd shot and they tend to want to sleep a little more and are tired for 2 or 3 days at the most . it's important that you have some reactions because it's telling you that your immune system is responding .your are lucky to take the Pfizer shot .It would be wrong not to take the 2nd dose it was designed that way. I know people who have died of the virus but I don't know of anyone who died from the Pfizer shot

[@lelandsklar6363]

Do it! So important.. even if there was an adverse reaction which is quite unlikely, it is far better than getting sick.

[@kelleyjones2285]

@@lelandsklar6363 my friend who passed away good Friday was just a little under two weeks out on his second vaccine. For a week he kept saying how horrible he felt, almost like he had the virus. 44, massive heart attack. This is why I'm getting a little nervous I'm 62.
