Tommy tonight

Going to see Tommy Emmanuel tonight... and I have a Meet & Greet! This will be the third time I've seen his concert, but first time meeting him. Needless to say, I'm excited.

My favorite original song of his is Lewis & Clark. I love the way the music sets the mood and weaves the story.

Can't wait!

Anyone else going tonight?

Saw him last Saturday night with openers Trey Hensley and Rob Ickes and it was fantastic one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen and my wife even agreed! They played this great rendition of "Friend of the Devil" from the Greatful Dead. Enjoy the show!!

Have a great time.

I took my son to the meet and greet before a show last year. Tommy was so gracious with his time. He took a few minutes to chat with each guest. Really a great night all around.

I'll be there, though not doing the meet and greet.

You must be going to the Elgin gig tonight......my old home town. I saw Tommy for the first time last night in Wausau, WI, and he did a fabulous show! Enjoy the evening!

Yeah, Rick Price was the opening act. I think Rick played for about 35 or 40 minutes. Tommy brought Rick up for a couple of tunes toward the end of his show, too.
