Hey, went and saw a fellow Aussie friend Monday night, Tommy Emmanuel. You may have heard of him. :) He was in Cincinnati and since the power is out all over my area, we went down to see him. I saw him a month or so ago in Tennessee, but I think the sound system was much better this time.

He was fantastic!!!!! My grandson (10 yrs. old) and I got to shake his hand and he told us a funny story and initialed a couple of guitar picks I had in my pocket and a CD I purchased. He is a great person as well as, I think, the great guitarist.

One guy ran out to his car and bought in his guitar. Mr. Emmanuel signed it. That guitar doubled in value right there on the spot.

Sorry, I broke the conversion. I just thought I would mention it.
Forgive me?

Sounds pretty awesome, man! :) I have always had a special place in my guitarist heart for Tommy. I grew up on his music and even my first instructional video was by him (VHS back then.. hehe)...

I have been trying to find out when Eric Johnson, another one of my favourites is coming to Australia but he seems to mainly hang out in your neck of the woods.. have you been to see him before?
