I have a good friend named Angelina, and I played this for her right after I learned it. She has cancer, and things can look rough sometimes. She’s non-responsive, so I just go over and play for her sometimes and hope she enjoys it. This one gets to me though because she’s so strong. Warms hearts in both the player and the listener. Thanks for letting me spread the love through music Mr. Emmanuel!

I have to say Tommy Emmanuel is without a doubt my most favorite guitarist. I've seen and met Richard Thompson and Phil Keaggy and have always held them in high esteem but Tommy is without a doubt my most favorite guitarist. I am often moved to tears listening to his beautiful music and anything that touches my soul that deeply is nothing short of divine! Thank You Tommy Emmanuel for all the years of beautiful music and your kind generous heart. We do love you!!!

@hugoschraer2494
I think to a great degree it is from a person who has grown up listening to one type of "music" and they've never learned to appreciate true music and musical talent. This is not like the very limited range of "music" they listen to so they don"t like it and feel the need to let everyone else know. They are stunted in their musical knowledge and growth.
@flapawangatang6209
I like this song very much, but as soon as someone describes a song as "true music" and starts to compare as if they're better than anyone else, it pisses me off.

I think one of the most interesting things of watching people all over the world cover songs by this living legend and genius, is that try as they may almost none of them, including myself, can play these pieces with the dynamics, interpretation, emotion and "cleanliness' that is so characteristic of Tommy Emmanuel. Guitar companies all over the world owe this man some form of compensation for all the guitars and strings bought and worn out by the people of multiple generations trying to create a similar sound, inspired to do so by this man, as he has me. Truly my hero, God bless you Tommy and thank you for sharing your gift with all of us with such humility and joy!
