I can hear Duke and Larry play this all night long

on a wing and a prayer is a WWII era song that found its way into the hands and heart of Joseph Spence from the Bahamas. Spence was recorded in the 50s and those recordings found their way into the hands and hearts of people like Ry Cooder. All good things are connected.

For folks who don’t know the Joseph Spence version, check it out. He has one of the craziest and compelling rhythm senses you ever heard. It’s like someone with two left feet who can, nonetheless, get down like J Lo when she was a flygirl on Living Color. Which is to say, it makes no sense at all and is awesome.

Never heard of him. Went down a short Joseph Spence rabbit hole and I think I like him.

Oh man that was awesome!!! Reminds me of being a kid in church. Good times 😊

Please record an album with you singing - LOVE to hear your voice Tom!

Thanks for checking in Uncle, great old song for the aging WWII Vets like my 101year old dad, still ready for a fight.

Two uncles, my dad and my grandfather signed up to fight the Nazis. Not a draft dodger or felon among them.

Great singing uncle L.

Yeah, for a dude who talks down his singing abilities Uncle Larry sounds mighty sweet and on the money for a song like that.

What a fun day at work with Uncle Larry. THANKS BUK!!! The Resonator is now in the studio routine...and never to leave, I would imagine. It sounds great, you could probably bake a good pie in that guitar.

UL we've missed you

I don’t give a damn what he says, I dig his singing.

The church of tone! Nice homily Rev. Larry

You beautiful bastards ❤

Keep channeling your inner Ry!

HA! A Paul Beard resonator! His shop is right down the road, and you do it proud!

You sound great! Thank you Tom! ❤

Some down home funky uncle gospel pickin. Love it

In all seriousness I'd pay for an Uncle Larry bluegrass album with the Ocen Way windows as artwork.

Love singing Larry!

You undersell your capability as a singer in these videos. That's nice singing.

Loved that man

Felt like I was transported into a Cooder-esque movie score like The Long Riders. Old school is just plain better. No other way around it. Thanks for the tune!

The resonator is a great example of how all guitars voicings have a place. I have always prioritized neck feel, balance, setup and my attack. I'm in the minority, but I find a ton of utility in carbon acoustics for this reason. Don't get me wrong, I love an old Martin like the rest, but for me, I need a dependable road worthy guitar first.

I love it!

I enjoyed that. Great job! Thanks for posting it

Sweet! Thanks.

Great stuff. So enjoyed that.

Sounds killer! 👍🏻

That was great.

Brilliant

I'm thinking Larry's been moving into a new house. Maybe that's why we haven't seen him.

i love uncle larry

Great singing voice!!

Love it UL!!!

A tear to the eye and a tug at the heartstrings , thanks for keeping us human.

Nice kicks, Uncle Larry.

Hallelujah!!

How do you accompany yourself so perfectly...amazing!

Its great to see you back, lookin forward to a poolside tune

Great stuff !

So crazy, that I heard this song for the first time yesterday on the way home from work, on "40's Junction" on XM. But so cool.

Awesome!

Love that

I am going through a Ry Cooder resurgence these days, so this fits right in. My dad, a WWII vet, used to sing and hum this song while doing chores.

Always makes me think of Ry Cooder from the 1970s. GREAT stuff.

Little Tommy pickin' an a grinnin' on dat ol' Bryanvision! Love it

such a cool studio space

Ahh Lovely Me Ole Uncle Larry after an Hard Day’s Work 👊❤️😉🎸⭐️🌞

Very good job Tom.

Lawd take me home...

Uncle Larry putting in maybe your best and most relaxed vocal. Well done.

What a melody

He'll yeah!! I had to pause a Homeskoolin video, to watch this.

Nice landing! Cheers Tom!!

Love the Tommy Voice

That's a damn fine sounding vocal...resonator sounds good as well. Cheers Buk

Yeah I'm predicting Bryan will make it. What a cool song!

Amen

That resonator is amazing

The venerable Ocean Way🙏

Hellyeah!❤

Hey Tom❤Skool for the ever awaiting stewdants. actually working that’s why I was late but it was funny I was in a store and on the overhead I heard highway song. I should’ve known you’d be posting today.

Damn Tom you got me praying that there might be a few more like this coming up sometime soon! You sure know how to make going to church worth the effort! Hell I’d be a very religious man if I had this to look forward to! Thanks Uncle Larry received my copy of In Stereo late last week can’t get enough of it! Best release of the past couple of years IMO.

Natural easy voice

Bryan the videoagrapher has another talent. Great stuff!

The kid's got talent!

Your voice is getting better!

Tom, f*cking good! That's all.

Sounded pretty

lol at the shots of the pane glass.

I like your voice

As good as he is at guitar, I think i am more impressed by how he's over 50 and can wear Chucks every day.

Studio JTM made the session rack

testify! 🙂

Dear Uncle Larry, just the other day I was wondering what ever happened to that old church you and the boys from the East Nashville Guitar Club invested in. Nice to see what you've done with the place. Carry on (my wayward son). Cheers!

channeling a bit of uncle Ry

I thought is was Ry Cooder for a second

That Church turned out nice....

Unc rules ! climbtibet is back!

Maybe the first vocal performance on a Tom Bukovac album?

I strongly suggest that you record that one and put it on the next album. Just you and the guitar…first song or last song. Would be cool as can be man! 👍

If the music biz doesn’t work out for the camera guy, he shows great potential in photography. Footnote; I can’t believe they let that guy in a church.

I have a feeling Uncle Larry could really give a care about that whole relationship thing right now. Not everyone needs to fall back into something immediately. Time for his boys, his music, and his session work is top priority , I hope! Lol!

Ry!!!

I'm just happy you've got a proper rest for your backside. Significantly lowering the possibility of another face plant into a studio wall. I'm still amazed that the thumbnail was the only casualty. Is the seat now a cartage fixture?

You sound like John Mayer singing "Badge and Gun" minus the falsetto...

I have a very important question for any Homeskooler: Do the t-shirts run a bit big, or tight? I am right smack in between L and XL depending on the brand. I could always order 2 sizes I guess, but I would appreciate a quick answer on this before ordering. Wife says if I shed some of myself I would probably have no problem fitting the L, but I'm feelin' the XL a little more. Thnx.

Hey Tom ever see or play with Johnny Hiland?
