that is amazing....don't you just smile through the whole thing remembering when patriotism was accepted and music like this was welcome? I kept thinking of Obama (sorry!) and how he'd be saying "Hey, what IS that ... ?" ugh. Thanks, Kid; that is FABULOUS. what an amazing guitarist.
Love it--it brings a much needed heart smile--and makes me want to pick up my guitar again and play -- or have my piano tuned and play her again--Hmmmmm--thinking (-: Carol-CS
Mr Jackson. I agree of course. I still rate Chet #1 based on the body or work that he assembled, but Tommy Emmanuel is in some ways better than Chet and Chet became Tommy's biggest fan (Chet was Tommy's idol and he began playing at 4 years old). If you ever get the chance to see Tommy in concert, you won't regret it. http://www.tommyemmanuel.com/tours/
