He works full time as the manager of the Human Resources dept at a big bank, but in his spare time plays in a band. He said he's decided that his favorite type of guitar is an arch-top, instead of a flat top, like SirKit's Martin. He introduced us, by way of CD and DVD, to a guitarist named Tommy Emmanuel who is just an OUTSTANDING musician! He creates sounds with his guitar that seem completely impossible for one person to do! He was a member of the Australian rock band, Air Supply, in the 80's. Mike heard him at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention this year, and was stunned at the man's abiluty with the guitar. SirKit watched the DVD, and was trying to figure out how to recreate the sounds.
I saw Tommy Emmanuel live in a tiny little place in Fort Collins.
He ain't human.
I have a new mission in life, learning to play this one:
