Mickey White was the consummate side man - his guitar always complimented TVZ (and a few nights carried Townes in a state) - The Hemmer Ridge Mountain Boys we’re regulars at Anderson Fair down off of Studemont back in day - Great stuff - Great video - thanks for sharing
Grew up in Houston - saw Townes many times - there - in the Austin area - a few times where there were just a handful of people there - Some of the most memorable times was at a place called Cheatem Street Warehouse in San Marcos Texas - I hired him to play a couple of events in SM in the early 80s - he was in the Austin phone book - just called and ask what he would need to play - saw him other places as well - e.g., “Folk City” in NYC - Boston (a few times) - Him and Guy Clark were always some of the best ((Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie) - loved this video - Mickey White was more often than not backing him up - I don’t think it showed up on records - but they were tight -

Mickey used to hang in the apartment my first wife and I shared in Austin in the late 60's. Used to get him high and listen to his great playing. That's when I first heard Townes tunes. He took me out to meet Townes in Clarksville, but Townes was really drunk and out of it. sezTop

Thanks James for all the videos you load up recently. Anderson Fair is just an immensely great place of music with a tradition that can be relived in your videos!
Seems like every time I find a really great piece of music history I am enthused and excited to watch, it has been uploaded by Jim Gilmer. Thank you very much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this can't thank you enough. Just when I thought I had seen all the Townes footage on youtube I was surprised.His stories and jokes are great in this. Part of me thinks he told the elaborate story with Indian Gary to kill time lol.
Nice set here. Lost highway too. Great find. I think I found every live one on here except this. 1 million points or some kind of tangible reward for anyone that can point me to anything I missed or that resurfaces , now or in the future. Thanks again for this
Just started reading it. My dad worked with Mickey at Bert Wheeler's liquor in Houston, TX back in the day. Great to see footage of him after hearing him so much in some of my favorite stuff especially the lineup they had with Townes, Mickey and Donny Silverman.
Went to the Library to see if Inter-Library loan could find Mickey’s Book and after a couple weeks the gals at the Library said They couldn’t track it down.My Library is in Fredericksburg,Texas.Anybody know where I can find it? Thanks.
Thanks for the post James most enjoyable. What happened to the end of the show was just looking forward to hearing Townes & Mickey play Ian Tyson's Summer Wages which I've not heard Townes play before when it cut off?

R I P Townes and Tony
Thats so cool

This is gold. Not mudd. Gold.
I thought that was funny mister.
Amigo lay them raises down
Thanks Banya
Yes! Both are involved, I'd say. Yet, the gold shines brighter through the veil of hard-earned mudd. ✨️🃏 🎰
Amen, never to be repeated again. What a nice man. Lupe and lil were pariets
Townes coherent and succinct….Wonderful…..
Amen.!!
These later shows are often sad, as he is so diminished. But there are still gems, power coming through. “You Are Not Needed Now” is that here.
This is good. Really good. Always a pleasure to find Townes footage you’ve never seen before. Thanks for uploading

Thanks for posting this James. A true legend only here for a short while. I enjoyed Mickey White also thanks for opening these old eyes to him.
I have a BB gun that I had Jerry Jeff, Wrecks Bell, Guy Clark and Mickey White sign while I was on tour with Ramblin' Jack as a tribute to Townes.
Thanks James for all the videos you load up recently. Anderson Fair is just an immensely great place of music with a tradition that can be relived in your videos!
This is wonderful, thankyou, Bless Townes and bless Mickey
I don't think I'll ever hear Racing in the Street the same way again.... 😜
What a great duo! Thanks for this.🎶

No such thing! Only gets better. 🤠🎶✌️
amen. A truet troubidor. Steve Earles mentor, Ste ve lived with Townes andhi wife Ed forwquite a while.
It won't make me blue sung by mickey, what is this song? Who sung it?
question: who made that guitar that Mickey plays here?
I actually think its a Yamaha by the headstock, pickguard looks like a guild.
Love it a man gone too early
"Love it a man..."
No sense made..
Love "this" man
Would make sense...
If this opening monologue makes sense to you, I wanna party with you.

Thank you. 26:50

Kind of heartbreaking to watch this…..
I feel like Rick about now
Poor old Townes
