Homeskoolin’ Volume 115, Tom Bukovac, “An Apple A Day”
A quick thank you to the Homeskoolers for the kind words regarding the Plexi Soul album that was released Oct 28th on Bandcamp.
And…..a quick interview with Bruce Bouton, a dear old friend, who happens to be one of the most legendary pedal steel guitar players on the planet.
Thank you for watching the program friends.

Doctor, "Cop Show Music" takes me back to the crime ridden streets of San Francisco with officer Harry Callihan. Hat tip to the musicians and producers. The album is outstanding!

Great album Tom. Bought it as .wav file and sounds awesome man. Thanks ✌🏼
67 yrs old and still practicing. Gold, Bruce!
What I wouldn't give for a chance to sit in the corner of that room and listen to you guys talk all day (not to mention play). As always, thanks for the inside peek!
What a trip seeing Gordon passing in the background and actually knowing who He is. I Love this channel Uncle Larry.
It's probably the best collection of music I've listened to in at least a decade. And yes, CDs would be welcome.
Can you believe that we live in a time where we can listen to dudes like this just talk about music. May we never take it for granted. This sort of thing is absolute gold and should be treated as such.
Bruce Bouton and Ray Flacke spun me on my head with Highway 40 blues when I was 12 yrs old.... Seriously, the song that made me want to play! Years later and I can still fuck that song up to the point of almost not recognizing it. Lol
Can't even describe how much I love the new album. So many discoveries since finding this channel. Embarrassed to say that I had never even heard of Tom Bukovac before covid hit. Now, one of my favorite guitar players. No covid doldrums for me, just excited to learn new things on guitar after being stagnant for a decade.
Man, what a treat to get an inside view into a world most people would otherwise never get to experience in any meaningful way. Thanks so much.
New record rules Tom! Bruce said it best, “Appreciate what you do Tom, inspiring so many people.” 👍🍻
“You never stop practicing” - maybe my favorite line from the whole thing. After 25 years, I’m still trying to master the fretboard and recently picked up spider exercises again. Homeskoolin channel has been a huge inspiration! Love the album(s), Tom. I was doinkin’ around with Power of the Minor 5 play along last night. Grateful for such an inspiring practice tool!
Tom , you grab such love from your buddy musicians . not surprised though because you feel just the same for them !
"At 65 years..." this is it. Learning every day. Just an incredible sweet soul/musician.

Fantastic episode Tommy. Love it when you give us a glimpse into the life of studio musicians. Above all else, I love the way you interact with people and call them sweet and given them mucho respect. You get what you give. Loved Bruce's joke about Macca providing the advice to not drop names! I truly feel that discovering your channel has been the best thing to come out of the pandemic.
Great conversation. Thank you very much for all the great advices and knowledge in general.
Man, talk about humble people. These guys are all legends but are some of the most real, down to earth folks out there.
Ah Uncle Larry, what a gift you and all your mates are. Hearing real musicians talk about music is so wonderful. And so impressed with the genuine affection shared between all you cats. Who knows, maybe i am getting a little closer to being a real musician....cause i am hankering to play pedal steel..., but may need to rethink that craziness. What a treasure you are!
Great episode. Loved this.
Just purchased Tommys wonderful Plexi Soul album from bandcamp. Been there from the start of his Homeskoolin days so I want to encourage another one
Fantastic video. I love the longer ones.
Very good interview! Made me think of my old Roy Smeck Harmony steel that I (tried to) play for a couple years in the 1970s and still have down in the basement.

Just seen this. Brilliant episode. I learned so much. Thanks all
Brilliant look behind the scenes as always! Now I’m off to listen to this album of yours.
Uncle Larry! Love the content and music as always. Thank you!
That was just fantastic.
Love your studio insider videos!! Thanks uncle Larry. #inspiration
Uncle Larry...that is an amazing record you made sir!
Good dudes all around! Love these insightful videos. Thanks, Tom
Awesome, thanks Tom and congratulations on the album!
Hello Tom, and Bruce, Paul Smitty Smith here from just outside of Boston, Ma A quick shoutout to Bruce Bouton, I picked up the pedal steel guitar about 30 yrs ago in my mid 20's and I learned to play by purchasing Bruce Boutons "How to play steel guitar" VHS tape put out by HomeSpun Tapes... remember them? I had no steel players in my area at the time, and that instructional video proved to be invaluable. Bruce Im still working on my 2 string "paradidles" to hone my pick blocking! Im still at it today, playing mostly Lap Steel these days, and enjoying every minute of it. If you could pass this on to Bruce I would appreciate it. Thanks very much Tom for your most excellent channel here which I enjoy very much! Looking forward to purchasing your new record!
Really dig these impromptu interviews with your cohorts. Really cool guy that Bruce!
I love the album, man! I keep listening!
Tom! Thanks so much for this video with Bruce. What a treat to listen to you two discuss pedal steel. btw, I never knew you played! Sending much love, my friend.
This was one of the best episodes.
Great interview, Buk. Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated, brother.
Awesome stuff Tom!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great channel. Great content and great guests.
Tom Plexi soul is so so good. Thanks
just want to tell that the album is just awesome!!! keep it up
Love when you interview your fellow session dudes...
Awesome. Bruce is a sweetheart.
Loving these studio hangouts! Things like this make me listen more deeply and more generously to music.
Best Homeskoolin of 2021!
This insider content is priceless! Can’t thank you enough, Uncle Larry!
Here I am, 31, been playing guitar about 15 years now, and have been hit by the pedal steel bug this last year, so the age is completely accurate, lol. I just bought a lap steel to hold me over and get started until i can find a good pedal steel. Definitely is an expensive instrument to get into! Love the content and all the insight into the lives of working musicians. Thank you for taking us along with you!
Beautiful! Homeskoolin' is and American treasure.
Thanks Tom for bringing us behind the scenes once again - ALWAYS AWESOME! God Bless!
Thanks for taking us behind the scenes!! Can't get enough pearls of wisdom from the giants that you hang with Tom.
Thank you, Tom! I always appreciate these behind the scenes moments. Absolutely pure gold!! Like your Plexi Soul!! 🙏🙏🙏
Your Record is medicinal, I love it! I would prepay and wait as long as it took for Vinyl.
It’s such a great record, I’ve listened to it about a hundred times already!✌️
Hardworking and sacrifice pays off.incredible players!
You guys seem to have a real nice thing going...Good friends having good times making great music. It's good to see
Amazing
Love the humility you guys show. Super talented musicians with skills for days but most importantly, quality people with a desire to work together as a team, both on the floor and behind the glass. So great to meet your pal Bruce in this clip!
Tom, love the new record! Your playing is awesome dude!
Album is a masterpiece! I’ve been listening to it everyday since it was released. Amazing songs and amazing tone!!,
Love what you do, Tommy! I’ll never get tired of it! Keep On, brother! 👍🎸✌️😎
Thanks for this. Bruce Bouton is a bad man. Love that guy’s playing.
Thank you for this one Tom! Steel has been a big part of my playing and it's so cool to get to see and hear this!
Awesome! What an inspiration you and your friends are to all of us. My favorite channel......
That was awesome…..what an inspiring conversation! You sir are a lucky man to be surrounded by such quality people!
Really nice! 🎸❤🔥✍🏻
Great album (both of them). Killer playing and really appreciate the play along album. Great way to build on concepts and skills. Thanks.
What a gem 💎 this episode was great! And big thanks to Bruce for opening up about his practice
Just bought the Album & it’s superb, a great early Xmas gift. Would love a CD 💿 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a great episode. I want country music to start changing keys again every two seconds like it did in the late 90s !
This is pure gold! I love how you shine the light on these remarkable musicians. The steel guitar is such a wonderful instrument. Paul Franklin lifted Dire Straight to another level with his playing.
record rules Tom, downloaded it as a wav. file, super high quality, thanks for the music!
That was great Uncle Larry, thanks for the episode! You guys are so inspiring to struggling musicians with non-musical day jobs, sometimes it's hard to keep going.. but we do.. TTW is amazing, love it and share the tracks often.. Thank you!
Like he said, "...you inspire so many people." Another great look behind the scenes. Thanks!
Can’t thank you enough Tom for making this album! It is amazing! bought both versions! And another awesome video in studio with your buds😊
Great to hear Bruce point out that knowing when to play, and when not to play, are equally important. Love the interview. Great job.
Hey Uncle Larry, the record is so killer man I'm really having a blast with the homeskoolin version also. Thanks man too cool!
I bought the album the other night and love it. It sounds incredible.
Loving some Plexi Soul! It's a polished version of what I love in your Homeskoolin' jams. Awesome stuff, brother! Hope there's another show soon! 🙏
Album keeps getting better and better, I don't remember the last time I've listened to an all instrumental album this much.
Thanks for spotlighting Bruce! Total hero of mine.
Love me some Friday Tom Skoolin’!
Hey Tom, your album has been, since release day, literally, my company every morning on the way to work. The time It takes to drive from home to work is about the same as the length of your record. What a great way to start the day. Thank you for the amazing music and precious lessons. It means a lot.
I love these field trips.
I love these. Bruce is amazing. Stix is one of the best around.
Uncle Larry! It's so heart warming to see you react to all the positivity out here for your record. I got both versions, just because. I hope you can bring yourself to realize the enthusiasm out here isn't just for the music. It's a reflection of the love for you. I mean that. Just pause a moment and feel it from all of us. Thank you, brother. G
I love your album Tom, this is my kind of music and it is wonderful to listen to these soulful, thoughtful pieces. Ben Keith is one of my all time favorite pedal steel players
Thank you, Tom! You’re too good to us!
Bruce Bouton, Thank You for your wisdom.👌 Tom, superb interview!🤙
Hey Uncle Larry, thanks for the cool interview with Bruce. I've never bought anything on Bandcamp before, but I'll see if I can get it figured out this weekend. CDs would be cool.
Well, That was a real treat! Bruce himself in an impromptu interview. I'm starting to hear steel again on the new country songs. A little more here and there. On the other hand, I'm also hearing more 808s. LOL.
