Just for those that never heard him play. Phil at Tamworth Country Music Festival 2014. Pretty appropriate song for the moment I think. "While my Guitar Gently Weeps"

George, I thank you sincerely for posting that first video clip. Yes, I was deeply saddened to learn of Tommy Emmanuel’s passing – a great loss of such a gifted person, who was also a real down-to-earth decent bloke, unaffected by fame or fortune.

The clip of him and the Butcher bird was really magical! What else can say?
