I want to see Tommy Emmanuel live

He is SO much fun to watch. Especially pay attention around the 3 minute mark!!

I want to see Imelda May!!!

BTW Andi, I got the Jimmy Jimmy lyrics corrected!!

Tommy Emmanuel is awesome, not only that he's an awesome guitarist, he's ust a pure entertainer, and it seems like he's got a lot of fun with what he's doing. Haven't seen him live though, but I really want to change that!

Hmmmm, weighing up the pros and cons......

Nashvillains, Lee Rocker, Hot Rod Lincoln, Hootenanny, Nashvillains/Chris Isaak, Brian Setzer Orchestra, loved ones, kung fu classes, daily opportunities to go dancing and undoubtedly opportunities to see Emmanuel live when he visits the States....

or spending months and months withering and dying while waiting for the opportunity to drive five hours to see Emmanuel live one time.

Yeah, I think I made the right decision!

That was totally insane!!!!!!!!! That 3 minute mark, what can you say about that???? I heard Tommy is on his way back to Australia, I get the feeling I'm going to have to go and see the genius live!!!

All you guys I miss a lot. Everything else, not so much!! If I could have ya'll here, everything'd be perfect! A little piece of Australia will always be in my heart, but you know how it is, home is just... home. At least for me, I finally learned that that's never gonna change.

Make sure to take some video at Pete's birthday for me, willya?

Yeah, I know Andi, you just can't beat home, nor the chance to be close to your family and friends, let alone all the wonderful bands you have easy access to, you lucky thing you, but you know we miss you right?

I don't think Pete knows what he's doing with his Birthday yet. The last I heard it was going to be a quiet family thang. He's freaking out about hitting the big 4 0. He thinks he can run and hide from it, but no chance!!! Hopefully he does something, he's got a lot of friends that would want to celebrate with him, besides, he should think of all the presents I sure Sam could get Brian to come over for the party

Now wouldn't that be a hoot!!!

Take care Andi,

René

Can't blame you Andi, I would have done the exact same thing!

Home Sweet Home

Tommy Emmanuel will be in Adelaide on Tuesday 30th of June, great timing!!!
