Thomas Oliver - 'The Moment' (Weissenborn Instrumental)

[@OlegSmirnoff]

World is strange. 8 months after you uploaded this song, I got my first cat. Just a small little furball I rescued from the streets that grew so close to me. Fast forward eleven years. Exactly 8 days before this vid reached its 12th anniversary, I found her lying dead in the kitchen. On this day, this song was in my recommended videos and I dearly remembered everything from the first day, like a flashback. This cat was like a daughter to me and this song resembles her somehow. The love and peace she gave me, every moment she made precious. All is in this song and I come back to it from time to time. Thank you Thomas!

This makes me nostalgic for a time in my life that never existed

[@GuitarUniverse2013]

Then make it so now, my brother! I've got about a year left before the Cancer takes me and it's the most freedom I've ever had. It's never too late to be happy...

Thomas, At 81 years old I have just discovered the instrument you are playing here. I love the sound of it, and you are the only guy I have heard play it that can bring out the best in it. You are on my favorite list forever and why don't you put out a couple of music videos. I'd be a buyer for sure. George

[@acewing24]

Jacob raugaard !! Look him up

[@florianbouyou5061]

Ben Harper first album is full of that style. Highly recomended

[@thomlev5217]

Kelly joe phelps of course the best

[@pharmerdavid1432]

@@thomlev5217 He was great, I especially love his first recording which I've listened to over 100 times (he brought me back to the Holy Bible). But he didn't play this type of guitar, although he played with others who did. Thomas Oliver and Jacob Raagaard are my two favorite Weissenborn players, although they both play regular guitar and lap slide etc. too. I actually know little about either, other than they are Maestro level musicians, and I LOVE their musical sharing of their inner heartfelt love.

[@mr.k1896]

Man, I hope you’re still here at 92.

[@Joe30pack]

That tuning down & back up is a power move. Awesome.

[@joedean3263]

It reminds me of a song you never heard you instantly know by heart.. Old soul second sight stuff

[@Gibson_Branch]

Yes

[@PeterMurr-sl9gu]

Every time i navigate back to your music i am in awe. Your playing is so beautiful, with so much feeling. Thank You!

[@JavierEzpeleta]

more than perfect. Just like a dream.. Makes me love this life.

[@harryalan2460]

Beautiful! This really evokes David Lindley's wonderful body of work.

[@Will22446688]

the starting riff sounds like dancing in a slow burning room by john mayer or whatever its called, great performance! love it

[@Miguel-gt6ug]

I saw this comment back in 2016… 6 years almost 7…. This is the reason how i discovered the song slow dancing in a burning room and learned in how to play on guitar… time flies… read this comment back in sophomore highschool… now im almost 2 yrs in the military lol….

[@StevesSlideandJazz]

It is “People Get Ready” by Curtis Mayfield

[@DharanLongley-v8y]

Thank YOU Thomas for your most beautifully melodic fluid acoustic masterpieces. Namaskar!

[@HockeyPop29]

This fills me with a sense of peace I can never seem to find on my own...

I have the same, i come back sometimes in the evening just to have peace.

This is the kind of music where you just grab yourself a drink, sit down in your comfy chair, and, relax. Its beautiful. Well done, Thomas. Take a bow.

Listen three times in a row, what a tone

[@juvalca8007]

This reminds me of when we were free and could go out for drinks and talk... Seems like centuries ago!

[@ren8240]

This is soooo beautiful! 😊 I'm scratching my head though as to how on earth this could possibly get a thumbs down from 62 people...jealous maybe?! 😏 A million thumbs up from me! 👍

[@gregmirr]

Woke early before the sunrise and drank a good cup of coffee and drank deep in my soul with this slide guitar somehow straightened out my mind thank you

[@Ahghhftgxshnvbbfdgncs]

Dude has a gift for sure

[@HBSuccess]

I think what makes this so honest is the way it's recorded -you can hear all the string noise - the bar on the strings during vibrato, etc. That stuff almost always gets nuked in production. Good job T. Oliver !

[@ToddPritch]

That main melody reminds me of Slowing Dancing in A Burning Room by JM. Beautiful work

[@kathleensteeves488]

Thankyou❤❤

[@danotunes]

Now that's music......BEAUTIFUL....
