I love this track.  Really like hearing the foot tap in the background as well.  I saw Tommy here in Ottawa a couple years ago (in a church - great venue).  My life changed after that show.

We live about 5 miles from the Lewis & Clark Trail. . . 

I went off and watch a couple of utube videos. This guy makes my fingers bleed just watching him. 

One of my favourite Tommy Emmanuel songs.....

Yeah, Thanks Bill!!!!!

Excellent stress-relief music. The acoustic guitar has to be the finest instrument ever invented (although sometimes the electric gives it a run for its money!).

Intro made me look at the TV, wondering if Dead Wood was on.

Very nice!

Very Chilli Manilli these last few, Bill. I need to put on a felt hat and draw a few from my clay jug.

Every day I listen to RP I am once again inspired by the fact that there is a tremendous amount of undiscovered (to me) music! Thanks Bill, like it!

I liked this song 4 notes into it......

I had the privilege of seeing Tommy live a week ago. This is something not to be missed. He is simply inhuman in his skill, and very humble about it. His performance is wonderful, his songwriting is great and his interpretation of songs he covers is insanely good. I'm no weeper but his "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" brought tears to my eyes. You can see him up close and personal on Youtube, you will get the idea that he's too talented for a single person, and seeing him live makes you realize that Youtube doesn't do him justice.

Am I going on and on? Yes. He's worth it.

Hmmm . . . now I'm glad I didn't switch off after Flogging Molly came on . . .

I think you mean "crack" staff. 

"Crack" as an adjective would be "Excelling in skill or achievement; first-rate: a crack shot; a crack tennis player."

"Crack" as a verb, and its past tense, "cracked," could mean "to have a mental or physical breakdown."

Step out of the fast lane for a breather.. very nice. Whats the rest of the CD like?

Off on another chicken-egg odyssey: Tommy Emmanuel or Mark Knopfler  (from Sailing to Philadelphia)

Would fit nicely before RP favorite No Myth.

I totally agree, I trust Bill and his cracked RP staff to find good music that isn't getting it's due on the other airwaves and he rarely disappoints (only occasionally when he plays Davey Byrne way way too much :) )

Pleasant! Never heard of him. This is why RP has become my home.

Thanks for the SRV advance warning.  I'll go find something else to listen to once this, which gets a 7, is over.

I'm not the first but I agree with the rest of the statement.  Think I'll warm up my coffee.

Wow, I'm really diggin this. Never heard of this guy. I'm intrigued.

A nice change from the previous Yes and U2. I was hoping it was a format switch, but alas we are back with SRV.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride and Joy
Tommy Emmanuel - Lewis & Clark
U2 - Desire
Yes - Heart Of The Sunrise

I was the first to rate, but after 5 seconds of the song, it's difficult to rate and to give comments.

So now 5 7

i like this description of his music: "the eddie van halen of contemporary acoustic guitar."

I guess I'm the first. Hmmm, this is nice and soothing on a crazy day at work.
