Remembering Clarence White

As many of you know, I play guitar and I write songs and I love bluegrass music. There have been many guitar influences in my life : Duane Eddy, Dick Dale, Doc Watson, James Burton, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Tony Rice and Robben Ford. But one of the foremost was Clarence White who was killed by a drunk driver at the age of 27. He influenced so many guitar enthusiasts and still continues to do so today despite the fact that there is very little video or instructional material from him. But I just discovered a rare DVD of him as a guest on "Bob Baxter's Guitar Workshop" TV show which was a staple of mine back in the early 70's on LA TV. click here to find it and other material from the producer's website
