So I guess you're up for some Beastie Boy's now eh?

Since I don't' have any 'Beastie Boy's' I went looking and from what I found, I will say that they're not for me, but thank you for the suggestion.

With that said, I too have a large musical interest however the BB's just doesn't seem to be my taste.

I was raised on music that both of my parents loved but were from different styles. Dad was into what he called Traditional Country Music (Bluegrass) BUT his musical highlight was to see Hank Williams along with Roy Acuff perform in Spokane WA. Dad said it was supposed to be a 'dance' but he said it was like a sardine can in there!

Mom's love was Big Band Swing! Hell even in her 70's she could jitterbug!

My dad hated Rock and Roll he Hated Elvis Presley but one Sunday night just as I was starting to fall asleep dad came to me room and said "There's something on TV I think you need to watch. ------------------It was the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show!!!!!!!! Even that old redneck country boy 'Knew' that they were something special.

These days I have my computer turned onto Rock-a-Billy Radio and I am currently sponsoring a DJ in Australia who is part of it. See here:

Well it's time for supper so I'll leave you with this link:

I have the entire CD

To see Hank Williams would have been a dream...so much of modern music is owed to legends such as him and as you mentioned old blues players like Muddy Waters, BB King, John Lee Hooker...but Hank was King in my opinion...

A huge influence on so many people and bands of that era.

I've been listening to a very high quality performance from Tommy Emmanuel. Not only is the performance high quality but the audio and video are top notch!

Keep practicing boys!

Wow! Thanks for posting that Roy.

Tommy is IMHO one of the best, if not the best guitarist to ever walk on planet Earth.

That's just brilliant.

Thanks Pete, however the real thanks goes to Mr. Emmanuel as he's the one that posted his entire performance. I read that the DVD used to be only sold at Live Shows but I also saw that they were available first come first served.

I had a chance to see Tommy a few years ago but my friend who would have been driving suddenly had to cancel and my rig is too old for the 800 mile trip.

Maybe the next time he's in the area. The last I knew he was still playing 300 dates a year.

I've posted this before but I still like how the combinations of different styles, guitars and talents make for a wonderful performance of a great song.
