Dear Tommy

bDeH9


Back in May of this year, I brought my 73 yr old mom to your concert as a birthday gift. You were appearing in the Ottawa region of Canada at the Gatineau Casino.

This was a special gift for her. Back in 1980, my uncle, my mom's younger brother, died suddenly at the age of 40. Like yourself, he was a picker. He was a desciple of the Great Chet Atkins. I remember when I was 10 yr old, it was late at night. My uncle picked up his guitar, the one he made himself, and started playing. He played for almost an hour without stopping, playing all the classics. On particular song that touched me, even at 10, was his rendition of Amazing Grace. I don't think I had ever listened to anything more beautiful until I watched your rendition you performed in Soeul Korea in 2008 on Youtube.

For my mom, being at you concert brought back a flood of wonderfull memories. After the concert we laughed and we cried.

That particular concert was the third time I got to see you. But, Amazing Grace was never on your playlist. The next time you come back to Ottawa, could you find it in your heart to play that song.

Your Devoted Fan
Guy

Hi Tommy,
I just want to say, WOW, thank you so much for an incredible performance on Thursday night at the Bruce Mason Centre in Auckland. My good friend and I made the trip 7 hours to see you, and was worth every penny. In fact, we would have been happy paying even more for the tickets. You truly shone, and I dread the day when I can no longer hear your songs in my head. The performance was phenomenal, and i do hope you will come back to NZ soon. A song that stuck out for me was your extended take of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, it was indescribably beautiful, and i said to my friend, "I have never heard a guitar played more beautifully in my life"
I hope you have a great rest of your tour, and I'm currently in the process of replacing my guitar so i can get into it again.
Thank you so much for an incredible performance.
All the best,
Alex Coupland, 20

Hello there Mr. Emmannuel,
I'm writing to ask you if you would be able to post a video on how to play your cover of classical gas. It would be much appreciated if you could do this as I believe there is a lot of people who would like to learn this version of the song as there is no worthwhile video currently available. It would also be hugely appreciated if you could respond to this message.

Thanks and regards,
David, 16, Ireland

Tommy,

I just wanted to thank you. I just discovered your music somewhat recently and listening and watching you play on youtube has re inspired me. See I've only been playing guitar for about 5 years now, but I've always had a deep love for music that no one has really seemed to understand. I myself had started to lose hope as the time and the stress of this world bared its weight on me. After hearing you play with the passion that you do has revived the zealous feelings for composing that I had. You see, I had actually forgotten what music was really all about, It's not about how good you are or about the sound you play, It's about the passion and feeling you put into the music no matter what emotion is ringing out. You helped me remember that. I apologize that this is such a long winded message and I understand that you probably won't ever read it, but I simply wanted to say thank you so very much for unintentionally helping me with that. I guess on that note I bid you farewell and good luck on all your future endeavors.

Thanks,
Alex Lothrop
