avuncular to no one
Well, everybody that replied to the post
Okay, I'd seen the video elsewhere then and there were more positives than negatives expressed from what I can remember.
His duet album with Chet Atkins was, amazingly, dull as fuck.
Saying that as a big Atkins fan; Tommy's never blown my mind.
Yeah, I like Tommy and does things that I can't coordinate with my brain and fingers or can't get them to cooperate. He's never blown my mind either, very few solo acoustic players have. I think music thrives when you have two or more people playing together, but as you note that's no guarantee either. Some folks can do a bit of that themselves, but it usually requires doing more than one thing, e.g.: playing and singing at the same time. That said, I like Tommy's energy and the fun he really seems to be having. I have own at least one of his albums and while it's decent, I also think Tommy is one of those folks that's better live.
