Tommy Emmanuel Midwest PBS Tour – Day Four

Today, I’m drinking tea, gazing down upon the strong deep currents of the Mississippi River, and looking up at the massive gleaming arch on its banks. For the geographically inclined, you guessed it…I’m in St. Louis.

The days since Austin have been a whirling cyclone of travel, with the eye being the shows themselves, all amazing, and filled with magical moments. We’ve been to Champaign, Illinois, then to Peoria; Troy, Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio.

Anthony and I share the first half of the concert, he going on first, then my joining him for a co-written song called Beautiful World. Then Tommy comes on and by the end of the evening, the audience is totally captivated…I cannot say enough about his mastery of the guitar…but being the writer I am, you know I will try, in the course of these journals.

Before closing today, I will share a Dream Come True with you…a while back, Tommy had remarked that he’d like Anthony and I to join him in an instrumental trio, to play a song from the PBS Special, called “Wonderful World”. Being mostly humbled, and a wee bit apprehensive (to perform with Tommy as instrumentalists), we hit the woodshed, and have made our debut successfully! What a landmark for both of us!!

More later, as I have the chance, and as our little cyclone and merry band of travelers moves across the Midwest.

Peace and Blessings
Pam
