@Uncle Larry- Charlie Rich was a staple in my house when I was younger. My father played that song for my Mother constantly. To this day even after Dad’s passing, she’ll put it on and stroll down memory lane.
Tom what you have created with your youtube channel is a brotherhood of musicians with none of the B.S. from the outside world interfering, that is refreshing. You give us a seat at the table to watch the insights of great musicians time and again....Once again a big shout out to you Mr. Bukovac.....or Uncle Larry....
I cried watching this 😭 Gordon playing intros to songs my lovely late mum n dad would play non stop i was kinda doing ok untill he played charlie pride behind closed doors 😪 what a beautiful player Gordon is ❤ his feel for the emotion of a certain note 🙏 Thank you both for this journey to a beautiful past I'll never forget RIP Mum n Dad xx
EVERY TIME you have Gordon on, I have a smile on my face the whole time. He's a National Treasure... And the trip down memory lane with some of the best Country and Western music ever written! This made my day.
I'm a big fan of uncle Larry...love all of the music I get to hear on your channel...and this guy...wonderful pianoplayer and a great singer...all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark, with gratitude...Klaus.
Above even the musical wonderfulness from the two of you, it is the friendship that this captures that brings real joy to this Skooler. No comment can thank you enough.
Uncle,, Gordon has the loveliest touch on the keys I've hear in a long time. He definitely gets it in his soul. thanks for sharing fellas 🏴👍👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas.
Unc I just had to pause this @ 2:00 to say thank you for sharing Gordons' talent with the folks that may not know him. He is truly gifted. Your harmony would have made it even better!
This is really cool Tom! Thanks! That left hand thing is wild. As I was watching it I was thinking 'I guess that's just how he learned how to do it.' Thanks for asking him about it because per usual, and like I've learned from homeskoolin' over and over, most of what you guys do is completely intentional and serves the purpose of making the sound you want to hear. In recent history 'Blues for Rex' a great example. In the intro (at 00:05) before the loop kicks in, you slide into a note with your ring finger. You position your hand so it is very clear what you are doing as if to say 'if you want it to sound cool this is how you have to do it kids.' Or maybe there wasn't a thought at all, but my takeaway was I would have never done it that way left to my own devices and your way is better. Lesson learned. Thanks again!
Hot Damn! Even the snippets are enough to bring tears to my eyes! So beautiful! It's what I Love about the Piano, and the Guitar.. two wonderful instruments that do not need any additional accompaniment! Thanks Tommy!
This channel is so unique and gives insight into a world that only a handful of people get to experience. I work in the natural gas industry and spend every day in the mountains on a side by side. I have people tell me, on a regular basis that I have the dream job etc, but if they only knew. Since I was eleven years old and started playing guitar, I’d read album covers and wonder how someone came up with a solo etc. Like the pedal steel solo on “Misty” by Ray Steven’s or who did the intro to Hank Jrs “Man of Steel”. I’ve always been mesmerized by studio players and the creative process of creating parts instantly. Anyway love your vids, love this channel. Good stuff man
Tom wow Man, Thank you for sharing Gordon with us what a True genuine treasure. Your both wonderful people. I believe your generosity has been repaid in spades and that’s what being a human is all about god love ya Tom✌️
Just hangin with Vince and a few legends via RUclips, How awesome. Gordon plays so smooth and effortlessly it's truly mind blowing. One of my favorite things about Vince is that his talking voice is as cool as his singing voice. That's cool to be able to instantly identify him just by hearing him talk or sing, you know Vinny in da house. Gorgeous home too. Baseball been berry berry good to Vince. LOL
Gordon is the man…… no other words needed… a musical vocabulary like that is mesmerizing. Been hearing those piano parts my whole life and reacting with the same enthusiasm as sir Larry.
This videos gave me cold chills the entire time he was playing those old Alabama songs, brought back so many childhood and memories of my dad. Thank you very much for sharing this Tom !!!
Dude, I was watching this with my wife saying” look what he’s doing with his left hand” !!! Then you said it, haha. He also takes his thumb off the keyboard and rests it on the wood. I play a little, but I can’t turn my hand enough to use my left thumb. I use my index, middle, and pinky. It’s cool to see even a genius like Gordon do unconventional things. Super cool!
Man Tom and Peeyanna man! This video was such a treat to hear you and Gordon talk of the music and the love of country piano intros. Thank you Tom seriously been laid up and your videos along with Guthrie Trapp and Michael Palmasano have literally turned me into a guitar player not a guy who plays guitar every once in a while. I'm so close to being able to travel, when I can you'll be hearing my music. Thank you Uncle Larry! Seriously thank you saved my life!
That stuff is amazing and wonderful to see!! What fun it must be all you guys playing and talking together!! That's how real music is made!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Hey Tom! Long time viewer first time commenter. I'm just mostly a cowboy chords and capo strummer but I appreciate your inspiration and your stories and the friends that you introduce. I would love to find out the rest of Gordon's top 5 piano intros. Thank you for everything you do for all of us!
Tom, the love and respect you and Gordon have for each other always comes across so clearly whenever you have Gordon on. This, to me, is what Homeskoolin' is all about - the community, the love for music and respect for each other. Ignore all the fools who tell you to do anything different (as I know you will), what you bring to us all is amazing and inspiring just the way it is.
Absolute classic Alabama. Always loved that one. I wanted that to keep on going...LOL. Great stuff. I am constantly blown away watching good piano players. It's such a foreign thing as a guitar player.
This popped up this morning and I sat down with my coffee to watch. Huge smiles!!! Thanks, Tom for including us in this moment in time! Started my day out right!!! Much love!
Awesome video! Gordon shines. Old flame was one of my fave Alabama songs. I also forgot how many great piano songs Alabama had. All those old songs are awesome. That piano sounds amazing!
I love this kind of stuff. Guys playing classic openers. Thinking about their own stuff. A little here a little there like butter on the bread. Just cool and familiar making music. Love it.
The world could be a much better place for everyone, if it just had Gordon live streaming on piano 24/7. Gracias Tío Larry, once again
the world also needs ordinary guitar players.
@@dell982 It’s got a steady supply of those already, present company excluded 😆
Uncle Larry + Uncle Gordon = Magic. Warm sounding pianer right there.
I never would have known about Gordon if it weren’t for you Tom. Thank you both
What a gift to humanity Gordon is.
" It makes sense when you think about it, but I don't ever think about it ". God bless you, Gordon.
Nowhere else will you get this kind of content! Thank you, thank you, thank you Uncle Larry!
This man is beyond special, no doubt. And how great is that piano?!?
That piano is gorgeous sounding for sure!

I could listen to Gordon talk and play all day. What a gift.

That was another great treat for the Homeskoolin class and any lucky persons that happen onto this episode. Gordon's music is incredible!
The look on Vince's face when he realized what he sang on camera, priceless!
Isn't that what RUclips was for? Gettin' close and authentic to all the amazing people out there. What a player.
Above even the musical wonderfulness from the two of you, it is the friendship that this captures that brings real joy to this Skooler. No comment can thank you enough.
Gordon is a monster of a musician. His playing blows me away.
This is absolute gold footage!✌️
This is RUclips Gold! Pls never stop doing this, Uncle Larry! 🙏

One of my favorite classes.
Thanks Professor Tom!

Agreed.
Please make "Vinnie" a regular! Love the guy and he obviously has good taste in studio musicians.

That was just great. I'm glad you were there to say keep going
Gordon is a damned national treasure (and a huge inspiration to a legally blind keyboardist like me)!
Gordon is absolute gold, what a pianist. If there were no electric guitars I would have gone for piano. Great piano is timeless.
Tom wow Man, Thank you for sharing
Gordon with us what a True genuine treasure. Your both wonderful people. I believe your generosity has been repaid in spades and that’s what being a human is all about god love ya Tom✌️
I could have listened to that all day
Gordon is a musical encyclopedia. Love it!

That's cool to be able to instantly identify him just by hearing him talk or sing, you know Vinny in da house. Gorgeous home too. Baseball been berry berry good to Vince. LOL
He has such a gentle quiet spirit and is so loving towards everyone
Tom’s surly barroom HELL YEAHs while Gordon’s playing the sweetest piano pieces 😂🤟
What a touch he has. Thanks for this one Uncle Larry. VG’s head popping in is perfect. Oh man… made my day much better.
Peeyanna Man always make the tears flow. Beautiful. Thank you.
He’s awesome. Makes the playing look so effortless.
Gordon is the man…… no other words needed… a musical vocabulary like that is mesmerizing. Been hearing those piano parts my whole life and reacting with the same enthusiasm as sir Larry.

Gordon’s talent is infectious! A genius and I love watching him.
Such a talented guy. Gordon seems like a joy to work with on top of being such a monster player.
This is why the world needs real musicians with beautiful souls. All three of y'all.
My god, he just casually flows perfection. The time, the expression. Watching Mote is a privilege.
I want to show this to every piano teacher that's yelled about correct fingering! Beautiful!
Gordon is a wonderful human being. I love his playing on the piano and his philosophy of how to live a better life.
What an amazing talent Gordon is. Just incredible.
These videos are so special. Thanks always, Tom.
Gordon Motes, what a fine human being! Thank you Tom for introducing us to him.

Man, these videos with Gordon are so great. I love hearing you all share these stories. Thanks Uncle Larry!
I love watching and listening to Gordon Mote playing and singing
I could spend hours listening to y’all. Your love for music is so apparent and deeply appreciated by us!
If i had hairs on the back of my neck they'd stand up when Gordon plays. Truly awe inspiring. Thanks for these snapshots of brilliance.
I think I've watched this 100x so far. So dang good
Always look forward to when you two are together. And the “once in every wife…” Tell Vinnie to add that to the next record 😂
He is sooo good!❤👍

Love when you have Gordon on the channel!
Such a joy to watch and listen to Gordon not to mention I love these classic intros. Thanks for putting this up.
Tom you are a beast! You say that you don’t sing but I love your voice!
