Good for you! Tommy is a monster. I typically don't enjoy steel sting acoustic guitar, bluegrassy or new agey music. But even though Tommy's playing often involves or includes all of those, I still enjoy his playing enormously.

His ability to orchestrate two & three parts simultaneously is absolutely fabulous. :) His version of Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" is even better than Chet Atkins'. And that's no easy task.
