Musical Monday - Tommy Emmanuel
Today’s musical inspiration is going to take a bit of a different turn this week. Instead of focusing on a theme, I am going to focus on an individual musician whose music has been inspiring me since I first started listening to him nearly two years ago. (In fact, I’m listening to him as I type this.)
It’s not very often that I find a musician who consistently creates music I like. Usually the case is that I like only one song, a few songs, etc. Rarely do I like every single song - especially after finding dozens of them.
Australian musician Tommy Emmanuel is one of the best guitarists in the world. “Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel has a professional career that spans over four decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world.” - Tommy’s website
My husband introduced me to Tommy and I have loved his music ever since. In fact, one of his songs (which I will put below) is what I walked down the ‘aisle’ to when I married my husband.
Now if that isn’t a love of music, I don’t know what is. So without further ado, here is the Musical Monday Tribute to Tommy Emmanuel. I hope you enjoy and that he inspires you as much as he does me.
Enjoy!
*Note: It seems YouTube has been taking down a lot of Tommy’s videos, so I’ve only been able to find a few of them that work.
