No fucking way!!! Searched this vid, see your coment, this crushes me hard fella... This man was doing lots of things and enjoying life despite his health concerns. Now he's better than ever i guess. The boss, like Buster b Jones called him, for being the first man to reclute Buster professionally, is with the universe and guitar picking in our hearts forever. Stay well Walter. Thanks for sharing your love to Thom s memory. All the best. Lets keep the fires burning and pick some guitars.

I saw Thom , and his lovely blonde partner right after they finished a USO tour following the Gulf War. I thought they were excellent, but I never learned either of their names. Just lately i found Thom on utube, and I was so happy that I did. I also found video of them together again, and they were truly amazing. I’ve been trying learn the Guitar for umpteen years, and thanks to Thom I think I can do it now. I’ve always loved Chet Atkins, and I truly enjoyed listening to Thom talk about him. God Bless you “fThumb Picker” God willing I’ll see you on the other side ! ❤️❤️

There are fancier players. There is no player with more groove. Plus he’s courageous. I love this guy.

When your dad is Merle Travis, you're born with groove. As Travis said, "He's got that guitar gene".

RIP oh Great One. Thom was a Bresh of fresh air.

Love your smile..Rest in peace Thom.

I didn't know who Thom was but I was watching Chet's tape and he said Thom Bresh plays Happy Again better than anyone so I looked up Thom and he was playing in St. Augustine at the Gamble Rogers Festival and I took off for Florida and have been thumbpicking ever since.

God bless you Thom. RIP.

One of the greatest human beings and guitarists ever. Love the man.❤

Beautiful brilliant. , a real entertaining musician. He will be missed by millions.

Thom is a living legend

Bucky, thanks for posting this video, he's gone now but the vivid memories of his talent are still here.

RIP Thom. You’ve brought me a great deal of inspiration and enjoyment.

43:30 "Happy Again"...I think it was written by Chet after a cancer free diagnosis.... Nice Tribute and wonderful rendition by Thom. RIP both.... amazing men in every respect.

It's been 5 years since I seen him he gave a great show .he was a very nice guy I spoke 2 him alittle while he is missed

I first heard Thom play when I was a young man,,,,,now I'm 75,,,,,,Time! Thanks for a great video Bucky,,,, and Thanks for just being you Thom!

I could have fell over when I fist saw this. I didn't hardly recognize him, man he lost a bunch of weight!! Then he explained what the deal was. Good for him. A great played for sure.

This strikes me as a master class in the art of musicianship and entertainment. Miss you Thom.

T.o.m. youre number ONE

Not only a great player but a great entertainer as well.

great entertainer, very nice guy, he's missed!

Love this guy - huge talent. Mixed his sound down in New Zealand back in 1995 and was able to do him a favour. He returned the favour like a true gentleman.

RIP Breshman

Surely miss cousin Thomas. The real deal. 💖

What damned virus did we lose John Prine to!?

Great Thom . So sad to hear you talk about Chet . What a great tribute you did my friend

I like this guy. I should have been in Nashville long ago, but I was On the road with a shoe band. My tough luck, I reckon.

That was amazing. Thanks so much for putting this up.

Another great video Thom …..thanks so much

You’re the number one picker!

That first song cracked me up good.

Amazing 16 tons

I think it's a replica of his dad Media Travis' Martin that had a neck made by Paul Bigsby, or it might be the actual guitar.

What song did he play after guitar rag?

@piercecrask1665

I believe it’s “All I Ever Need Is You” or “Marcel’s Thumb”, though I may be mistaken.

It is "Happy Again" by Chet. Chet wrote it after he had some health issues and couldn't play for awhile. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gK143MNuhtaXoag.html

I believe it’s called « Happy Again ».

What? Tom died?

Cerulean. !! It’s actually different from teal. Thom could make a routine out of small talk.

Evan Twitty would've been better.

No disrespect Paul. Evan Twitty was a great young musician but he had a way to go to achieve Breshmans' level of entertainment genius. I believe had he lived a long life he could have made it to a skill level similar to that of the Breshman. (He was already getting close) Sorry for your loss Jennie. RIP, Evan Twitty.

Better? Do you play? I doubt it. Evan and Thom don’t play anything alike. Completely different approach. Evan was a student. Thom is a stylist. You don’t like the style, that’s one thing. But better, worse? Evan was a student. Close your eyes when Evan was playing and you didn’t know who was playing.
