Not sure how to post YouTube clips but here's Thumbs (who is doing most of the single string work on the first chorus with his left thumb). This guy was Roger Miller's guitarist... really amazing player if you find any of his stuff.



Very rare clip! Highly recommended!

Happy Holidays

    He was a truly great player. I had a chance to see him play just before he died back in the 80's and he was superb.

    I just remembered I have an old album of his tucked away in my closet. "On his Own" is the title.

    Thanks for the post. :)

    I also love thumbs playing;thanks for the great clip--he was an awesome player who unfortunately
    never really captured his genius on record--though his album "All Thumbs" where he plays lap classical gtr contains some great playing---does anyone have any live recordings?...and do i remember correctly that thumbs met Django while on armed service in europe ?

    Stu: I heard about him through a friend from the UK (Mr Brazier) who came here for a brief couple of years -- he had a mission (one of several) to seek out various players of legendary skill, including Thumbs.

    best,
