Thanks Bob I really enjoyed that. However the gentleman forgot one other moment and that is, his time with the desert rose band after JD.
thanks

Good video, thanks Bob. Yeah, there are things missing and I suspect a lot of us here know most of this info. But I always like to see Tom get more exposure and I think this covers the most critical parts of his career. Certainly plenty enough to pique interest in further inquiry.

Tom's last guitar was an ANAPEG. NOT what was mentioned.

That's a great Discography of my first Teacher/Neighbor; Tom Brumley. Tom and Rolene Brumley were so proud of their Dirtbike Racing; Daredevil Gymnast;(Rick Bledsoe> that's me); they followed me through my career. Last Time I saw Tom; was when he and Rolene came and sat right next to me off stage at the August 12th 2008 Buck Owens Birthday Bash at Continental Club in Austin, Tx they have every year and I was hired to be the steel player. Tom sat right there the whole night just smiling at me and thumbs up at my solo's; we chatted after show and he told me how proud he was of me; then passed away 6 months later in Feb,2009 RIP Tom; and I still hold my right pinky straight out of the way like you showed me you did. Love ya.

Yeah, it was not 100% insightful in every detail, but still provided a lot of good info.. btw, to me, the Anapeg was a step back.. I understand how unique and precision those guitars are, engineered to perfection.. However NO steel guitar has ever sounded better than Tom's ZB guitars.. His later sound was more generic than what he had with the ZB guitars,, His ZB tone defined the unique sound that ZB guitars have.Now don't get me wrong- Tom has always sounded great. Its just that to me, his early sound was more unique and interesting than later on when he started playing other guitars... bob
