    I was extremely fortunate enough to meet Tommy in person at the Toronto show on May 14, 2010. He played 'Since We Met' right before my very eyes. Not only did he play it, he signed my guitar as well!
    Thanks Tommy. I WILL get to work...little does he know how much that actually relates to me at the time!

    Hey thanks for watching my video! Can I ask a favour? I am growing my UA-cam channel and have a goal of reaching 1000 subscribers before the end of 2023. If you enjoyed this video, mind hitting that subscribe button? It would be greatly appreciated and would be a great way to end the year. Anyways, as Tommy said “get to work”, so with that I’m off!

    This is what I love about Tommy, there's no EGO or drink or drugs or look at me I'm a STAR, not only is he the best guitarist in the world, but he's the most HUMBLE man to walk the face of the earth.

    The more I see and hear Tommy Emanuel interact with others, reflect on his musical interpretation and his delivery to the audience, he makes me love music as I have not felt in over half a century. He is a guide through this magical dimension, and he conjures up friends like Chet Atkins and Tony Rice as though performing for a whole cast of talent. The more I hear, the more there is to discover in Tommy.
