Amazing Guitar playing by Tommy Emmanuel
Life is full of interesting anecdotes!
The guy who cuts our cedar hedge knocked on our door today to say that he'd finished the job and would be back again next year. As he was leaving, he happened to ask if I'd ever heard of Tommy Emmanuel (a fantastic guitar player, that had played a concert in Christchurch, NZ!). "No, I said ... but I will look him up on google after your gone." So, here he is ...Tommy Emmanuel a fascinating Australian guitar player that I learned about in Quebec!
